in every room a portrait of PUTIN Cheesy

funny.. oh mother Russia

Typical jealous American. You're just jealous Putin could beat up Obama.

And he rides bears.

And he fights wolves bare-chested.

And he has a black belt in Taekwondo.

And he can survive in the Siberian wilderness.

USA is super underwhelming right now. Shaun white. The women just lost against Canada which is an upset IMO.
Yeah.. been pretty tough that watch thus far.

Undecided

I agree. I didn't watch yesterday. I will read up what happened. Tuesday was a big let down.

Still early but USA up to #2 in medals and only 1 behind the leader (norway)!

definitely the opening ceremony ring glitch as others aren't really relevant but this was in front of everyone and one of the most viewable and most important things Cheesy

and they messed it up Undecided

well, in Russia the ceremony ring opens you Cheesy

the ring was pretty bad I'll give you that. I just hate listening to Bob Costas bring up gay rights or some other political nonsense before the coverage kicks off ever night. Just STFU and put the games on.

Bob Costas whinging about gay rights= crocodile tears, as long as he supports infringing the right to self-defense, which gays need to exercise against government and non-government violent homophobes alike. Armed gays don't get bashed.

What's been your favorite Sochi Fail so far?

There's been a great list to choose from: The $50 billion budget, the hotels being unfinished, the athlete hotels only giving twin sized beds, vast amounts of stray dogs, the opening ceremony ring glitch.....the public double toilet?

My favorite so far is US Bobsledder J. Quinn being trapped in his hotel bathroom, so he smashed through the middle of it lol. Just go to Twitter and type #SochiProblems , too many laughs

Olympics ?... Hmm... yeah, I heard there was some kind of olympics somewhere...

Ballgames and mindless fluff I call it (panem et circenses a.k.a bread & games it was called 2000 years ago), nothing left of its original spirit but big money, auctioning of television rights and rerouting of contractor money into dark channels. Easy airtime for the mass media. Basically business as usual in the 21st century.

RT is not only biased toward Russia (is eastern propaganda okay for you?), but this video didn't report anything, it just pointed out politics for what it is: ugly.

Yes, I am American. There is no doubt the Olympics have had some funny fails so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if they happened at every Olympics (including Atlanta not too long ago). I wasn't by any means trying to rag on Russia in general, just the failure to be prepared for a $50+ billion Olympic event that had 7 years to be made.

All of this should not be happening. It is ridiculous how they are not even ready to host them and they have already started. Also, have you heard about how Russia is now apparently spying on everyone and hacking their phones?

Sounds like the NSA
Where's the source for that?

Here you go: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2014/02/07/nbc-news-takes-heat-over-sochi-phone-hacking-report/
EDIT: Not exactly hacking, just take a look at the article. It is more like privacy concerns. It is apparently just NBC News saying this.
