I don't want to say things are going bad at the Olympics, but Rio's Christ the Redeemer statue just went from this:




To this:





The IOC and the US men’s and women’s basketball team have opted to stay on cruise ships rather than the Rio Olympic village. You know the Olympic Village is bad when people are willing to take their chances with karaoke night, a midnight buffet and the Norovirus instead. 



Today is the Opening Ceremony of the Rio Olympics. It will be touching when all the athletes reach out and pump the giant Purell dispenser. 


The only good news at the Rio Olympics is that the mosquitoes with the Zika virus have opted to stay in cruise ships instead of the Olympic Village.
