COPENHAGEN, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara warned on Wednesday the 2016 Olympics could be the last Games, with global warming an immediate threat to mankind.
Tokyo is bidding to host the 2016 summer Olympics with Chicago, Rio de Janeiro and Madrid also in the running. The International Olympic Committee will elect the winning candidate during its session on Oct. 2 in the Danish capital.
"It could be that the 2016 Games are the last Olympics in the history of mankind," Ishihara told reporters at a Tokyo 2016 press event ahead of the vote.

I deal with a lot of asian students. They see our pathetic liberalist culture & think we are dumb as cardboard boxes for believing it.
They don’t say this you understand, it is implied.
Mr Tokyo mayor doesn’t believe that. But he thinks we and our media are dumb enough to swallow such tardedness.
So yeah. Start the clock. We’ve got 10 more years.

Actually I think it’s the 2012 London games that will be the last, if this whole Mayan calendar thing is true.

When would you have stopped writing out calendars, if you were the Mayan calendar-writer guy? 3012? 4012?
Whenever you stopped, people then are going to say WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!
I’ll go with the Bible rather than Mayan-calendar-dude, anyways.

MSN just stated that Michelle Obama when making her “statement” to the committee stated that she remembers sitting on her father’s lap as Carl Lewis won. MSN said that this was strange because she was in college at the time??

If the world is going to be in that big of a mess very shortly, then I think we have bigger things to worry about than if the Olympics will be held beyond 2016.
