The real Olympics

Now they have algae blooms from water pollution.  Runners not competing because the air pollution is so bad.  Drought in some places because the only remaining unpolluted water is being diverted for the Olympics.  Flooding.  Earthquakes.  Mass arrests of demonstrators.  Crackdowns on free speech.   And probably free lead paint with every souvenir.

Sounds like the real Olympic competition is to survive the experience!
