Today, journalists in Sochi, Russia for the opening of the Winter Olympics are complaining about all of the shirtless photos of Russian Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin. They apparently do not realize that Vladimir Putin is what happens when James Bond gets one of his villains pregnant and the child grows up to kick both their asses.
Someone needs to inform Yahoo Sports correspondent Dan Wetzel that Twitter is not Craigslist. And that’s too bad, because I’d definitely promote this to Best of Craigslist.
Two days before the opening ceremonies for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, media have descended on Sochi like a plague of locusts. The majority of journalists are staying at the brand new Sochi Hotel, built specifically for the event, however, it is still under construction. I’m sure you can imagine the wave of complaints coming from what appear to be some rather sheltered — if not spoiled — Americans. (#FirstWorldProblems #NeverBeenOutsideTheCountry)
Even still, one has to wonder. Is Sochi ready for the Winter Olympics?
According to Moscow-based ABC News correspondent, Kirit Radia, no.
He gets a little right-to-complain given that he’s based in Russia…
But at the same time, we’ve seen over and over how ingenious — and fast — Russians can be, especially given it’s the eve of the Winter Olympics and the world’s eyes are on them.
The United States doesn’t corner the market on sexual innuendos for names, as proven by this Australian. You have to wonder — was it really his name, or did he just want to show how naïve the media can be?
