Third worlders and people protesting the Olympics.

I saw the Seine years ago when I visited Paris. Nobody could pay me enough to touch that water much less swim in it. It’s basically an open sewer.

Ironic, considering that the ‘Paris Agreement’ is supposed to be an iconic moment in environmentalism and prevention of climate change.

How long until some French politician comes up with the idea of dumping chlorine in the river? :P

[SauronOfMordor]

Third worlders crap in the streets and the rain flushes it into the river

[ComputerGuy]

This may turn out to be one huge embarrassment for the French.

So there’s that...”Merde! Merde! Merde!”

It is all about carbon. Pollution of water and air no longer matters.

Also don’t forget the Seine is full of large Sharks. I saw a movie about that the other day.

Quelle dommage......not exactly Chanel eh?

I wonder if this is retaliation from third world countries after Europeans made a big deal about polluted lake in the previous Rio Olympics in 2020
