While the world is busy watching Le Affair Lochte a British Olympian is actually robbed at gunpoint. And a real Olympics crime wave is terrifying tourists.
This seems even more scary than the Zika virus.
Who knew rat poison is a PED? But why take PED's when you can just have questionable judges?
Things are so bad in Rio that McDonald's is no longer giving athletes unlimited food.
All is forgiven Rio because you did give the world this Irish Olympic sailing commentator.

Rio Show de Merda Olympics
While it is not true that Rio de Janeiro is Portuguese for Seaside Detroit it is true that American swimmer Ryan Lochte was robbed at gunpoint even though the IOC wants to pretend it never happened.
Strange but true - one of the biggest questions of the Rio Olympics turns out to be, "What color will the diving pools be today?" Clean water of any kind seems to be a completely foreign concept at these Olympics. So is simple chemistry for that matter.
The diving pools not satisfied with being visually baffling - have now brought the sense of smell into the equation as well. Now the question is, "What do the diving pools smell like today?" Yesterday they smelled like farts.
Meanwhile not even freaking walking is immune to doping scandals.
Not to mention the rampant antisemitism and lack of sportsmanship.
The Rio Show de Merda Olympics keeps living up to its name.

Rio Show de Merda Olympics
The first four days of the Rio Olympics have been a virtual American orgasm of success especially in men's and women's swimming and in women's gymnastics. These games might be remembered as the Michael Phelps Olympics. Seriously - does anyone think that this won't be one of the lasting images of the Rio Games? For the less mature this might be the one. That doesn't mean that there hasn't been a slew of strange, unsettling or just plain wrong things happening in Brazil.
Lost in all the other swimming hype Ryan Lochte announced plans to be lead singer in an Everclear cover band post Olympics.
The bad news for Michael Phelps and the other winners is the value of their gold medals has been literally debased. Sad but true - as debased as the gold medals have become they are still less debased than what Russia has done to the Olympic ideals. The Russians aren't alone in not understanding what sportsmanship or goodwill mean. I guess when so much money is involved goodwill and the true sporting spirit just don't add to the bottom line.
The pollution and dirty water isn't even limited to outdoor venues in Rio as this photo of the diving pool attests. Good on Clorox for not missing a great marketing opportunity.
People are taking literal pot-shots at the press. Coaches are getting robbed at knife-point. Rare creatures are sacrificed in attempts at pageantry. And officials even lost the keys to the Olympic Stadium.
Meanwhile in the real world in Brazil - they are going to have an impeachment trial for their President.

Rio Show de Merda Olympics
Some of the latest updates that is the shit show called the 2016 Rio Olympics.
All efforts by the government to clear the Rio waters seem to have failed. Athletes are being told to keep their mouths clamped closed or risk getting some serious diseases. Fantastic!
This seems to be the perfect analogy for the country of Brazil's ability to afford hosting the Olympics in the first place. Rio Olympics selling knock off versions of its own merchandise. The reasoning behind this move is because regular Brazilians can't afford regular Olympic merchandise.
Look for gallows humor like this to abound the next few weeks.

Another update on the shit show that is the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Yes the accommodations do present some challenges.
But I'm guessing as bad as the accommodations are you'd just as soon not have them set on fire so someone could rob you.
But in Rio you don't even have to check in to get robbed by the ole one guys pukes on you while the accomplice robs your stuff while you clean up scam. And if you think this was a one-off robbery how about the final sentence of the article?

When the two tried to report the theft to Rio police, they found a two-hour wait due a long line of other people reporting having been mugged.It could be worse though - you could be raped by a security guard inside the Olympic Park.

Rio Show de Merda Olympics
I've been trying to come up with a catchy name for the shit show that will be the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics - then it hit me "Rio Show de Merda Olympics". Portuguese is the official language of Brazil and "show de merda" (according to Google Translate) is Portuguese for "shit show".
How is this Olympics shaping up as a shit show? Let me count the ways! Polluted water, the Zika virus, unfinished facilities, political unrest, arson, crime, etc., etc. With plenty of blame to go around.
Some problems not even a kangaroo can fix.
You can try to avert your eyes but you know you can't look away from the Rio Show de Merda Olympics!
