Brazil's carbon footprint looks 20 times larger than USA's. Of course the USA exporting their jobs to China and India has something to do with that.

NBC is interrupting the coverage of the opening ceremonies ever few minutes for at least three minutes of really BAD advertisements. But then the opening ceremonies are pretty bad themselves. . . among the worst of the modern era.
How many of our Fellow Freepers are finding this as off-putting as I am?
Then the Brazilians used it for a huge propaganda push for the dire consequences of Global Warming, not even "Climate Change!" Good Grief. . .
Comments?
With Fox News and CSPAN available, why bother? As far as the Olympics are concerned, I’d rather watch the show about the Detroit pawn shop.
You couldn’t pay me to go to Mexico or South America.
If the athletes get into that Rio beach water, they’ll need soap and much more.
Thanks for your updates. Poor kids, the whole thing does seem quite grueling. I know that some of the athletes skipped it because they had early events today.

I was with a client today who’s pretty lefty. Will definitely pull the lever for Hillary. She’s was telling a third person how great the opening ceremony was. How they “really went for it” with the stuff about colonization, slavery, and global warming. Some people think this kind of display is just grand.
Couldn’t care less. Don’t plan to watch any of it - not even beach volleyball. Between trannies, socialism on parade, terrorists, zika and filth, nothing there I want to see.
The previously avid Olympics watchers in my family are also not watching it - just don’t care.
Thanks.
