Um, Bats Can Swim!?

Cat Olympics 2016

Why the White Man Gotta Be King of the Jungle?

Babymech says...

I do keep up on the stereotypes, but for 2 seconds I actually thought to myself - "yeah, that makes sense, Johnny Weissmuller was an olympic swim.... oh."

Ok, I thought he said swim, but it didn't make sense to me in the Tarzan context.

Like I said, I don't find racist "humour" funny, so I really don't keep up on the stereotypes.

The science is in: Exercise isnt the best way to lose weight

Khufu says...

This video and the one linked above both ignore HIIT training which has been tested and proven to burn significantly more fat than traditional steady cardio. You need to look no further than the fact that some lean olympic level athletes eat 14000+ calories a day and stay lean... it's because of how they train.

2016 Olympics: What Rio Doesn’t Want The World To See

kir_mokum says...

like payback said, vancouver has been "rich washing" for decades. i've heard some crazy stories from expo 88 era. before the olympics they cracked down on the poor. often ostensibly rounding them up and sending them to the suburbs (this is fairly normal procedure for cops who "catch" binners/panhandlers in richer areas: they "arrest" them, drive them out to the suburbs, and just leave them there).

They did the same thing in China, they did the same thing in Russia. I'm not aware of any 'rich-washing' that was done in Vancouver but there may have been some here. They definitely promised that a lot of the housing they built would be for low-income renters and now the Olympics is over high price tags have been put on the units and they've gone to solely the rich.
