Rio apocalympics 2016 mega-thread

[Godzillarich(aka tf2godz)]

So here's the idea. as the Olympics start tomorrow we will use this thread to talk about all the insane shit that will most likely happen.

First off, before it starts. how have you enjoyed the lovely year-long pre-show they had.

I actually really enjoyed the whole 'finding dismembered corpses on the volleyball beach' thing and absolutely no follow up to who it was or who had killed them. Says a lot about what we expect from Rio that we're more concerned with working fire alarms and access to proper nutritional supplements when Hannibal Lecter is in town and no one seems to care.

Also my predictions are that several nations will withdraw their athletes within the first few days. Some young girl swimmer will wonder off outside the Village and get kidnapped, or a few dudes will go out drinking and get mugged/murdered, someone will sneak into someone's room and rape them, a security guard will get killed in a knife/gun fight, an entire team will come down with a rare flesh eating brain leach t-virus strain and start a mini zombie apocalypse, and Gabby Douglas will finish her routine only to find used needles and broken glass on the mat. Then Belgium and...I dunno, France will say "Yup, that's it! Everyone is coming home, fuck this!"

Did that really happen? Holy shit.

Here ya' go palbert. Also they found a floating body in the water where the rowing races are supposed to take place.

So ya'. Russian stray dog packs got nothing on Dexter hard at work!

I'd umm...reword some of that, 'cause the mods don't take too kindly to bad behavior outside the Forums. But point taken. Its basically Sin City down there.

In fact, that should be the new Olympic Motto!
Walk down the right back alley in the Rio Olympic Village, and you can find anything

I just hope they quarantine everyone before letting them leave so we know who caught what. This has the chance to spread a lot of diseases. Edit: What I wrote after that was a tad harsh, not rule-breakingly harsh but I still felt the urge to come back and fix it.

When something gets big, it gets more political. When it becomes more political, there will be some major fuck ups happening behind the scenes.

Oh and big corporations organisations like FIFA and IOC dont make it any easier on the nation hosting with demands, demands and more sponsor, share holding, tax free demands abusing the local economy. I live in the host area of the London 2012 Olympics and many of the local stores didnt see much business from it. Do you know who did because of a bottleneck system. Fucking Westfield. Big business, HOORAY. Small local business, FUCK YOU. Shitty.

Yup, if London 2012 is anything to go of then Rio 2016 will leave the city's poorest worse of and the richest making a fortune at their expense. $4.4 billion of tax payers money according to Wikipedia and what did places outside of London get for that? What did people in London get for that?

Spoiler: They got this thing

What ever it it, which I'm sure the people of London were crying out for.

Hint: The London Assembly said in 2015 that it was losing ?520000 a year

 

[RedRockRun]

The craziest thing that will happen is that the entire Olympics will go as planned without a hitch, and no games will be delayed, interrupted, or cancelled.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

I look forward to the world premiere of Fallout 5.

I also fear for all the athletes that are going.

Well my borough, which is the poorest in London, got a big boost... for other things. Housing? Well you remember the Olympic village and how it was meant to go to the local councils in the surrounding area after the Olympics? HAHAHAHAHA RIGHT!! a majority of those flats (apartments) went to a private investment group. Those homes were meant to be for those on the housing list for Newham but fat chance. Any new build in London as a whole will be privately rented. Rent is a killer here.

London didnt become Athens, thank god. They have redeveloped my area which was piss poor and QEII Olympic Park was a wasteland before 2007. However, it just feels to me that whatever public organisation incharge of "sustainability" post Olympic games, didnt have a full proof plan in terms of housing, and smaller businesses in the local area. Or they have a plan but budget was cut due to the ever changing government and financial market.

The rest of the country? We should be producing more sports stars and talent at a young age across the country, which is what they wanted but I assume the Olympic buzz has died the more further out of London you go.

Honestly, hosting the Olympics is a major mess and hassle.

All we seemed to get up north was kids tried some new sports for a summer (and then dropped them shortly after judging by the kids I know) and TV was either about the Olympics or was pushed back to after the Olympics. The only thing I have heard people talk about from the London Olympics afterwards was the Queen jumping out of a plane (either it was awesome or wish the actual Queen did it without a parachute depending on opinion of the royal family).

Its good to know at least some benefit for people other that the organizers came out of it somewhere.

The Olympics has long been bad comedy, now they've gone and made it really obvious for the people who weren't getting teh joke.

Yeah its good. Stratford has developed quite a lot. I just worry it will become Liverpool Street/Shoreditch 2.0. Prices of items and rent goes up and more larger stores doing their Tesco Express, Sainsburys Local thing.

The biggest tragedy so far is that the UK doesn't have a plane called "Planey McPlaneface".

On the bright side, it might be funny enough to watch this time.

Well of course, it's going to be the smoothest Olympics ever.

Afterall, it's a Brazilian.

Bad comedy, though it's less funny for the natives. The way they're getting fucked over is absolutely dreadful and notably terrible in this occasion (as was Beijing). It's putting me off on the whole thing.

I'd suggest 'Flaming Wreckage' but not many appreciate black humour like I do.
