Remember China, where they painted the brown grass green, and the cute girl who sang some song at the opening ceremony was a stand-in for the girl who REALLY sang, because that girl wasn't considered attractive? Gotta love communist countries!

this takes the cake for me

Dmitry Kozak, the deputy prime minister responsible for the Olympic preparations, reflected the view held among many Russian officials that some Western visitors are deliberately trying to sabotage Sochi's big debut out of bias against Russia. "We have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall and then leave the room for the whole day," he said. An aide then pulled a reporter away before Mr. Kozak could be questioned further on surveillance in hotel rooms.

it all makes sense now.
