Journalists at Sochi are live-tweeting their hilarious and gross hotel experiences

[Acebb]

I heard someone on the radio yesterday say the hotel staff said to them "don't put the water on your face, it will hurt your skin"

This is surreal

Reporters from around the world are starting to check into local hotels — to their apparent grief. Some journalists arriving in Sochi are describing appalling conditions in the housing there, where only six of nine media hotels are ready for guests. Hotels are still under construction. Water, if it’s running, isn’t drinkable.

The showers have cameras in Sochi to monitor water use. I wish I was making this up.

Why is anyone surprised by this? Russia is. 3rd world country. Has anyone here met a real Russian? Their stories of Russia are not good.

Will this teach the Olympic committee to stop awarding the Olympics to communist countries?

No. It is more corrupt in the 3rd world, so the IOC members can get a bigger cut when they do.

Let's pretend for one moment that this isn't the president. Just looking at her just reeks ghetto or a prison bitch.

the Hotel problems made me laugh. Sounds like many had a good sense of humor about it all. Definitely an experience most of them are not use too I'm sure

What about her reeks that? She is literally just a black women looking forward yet you think she would be in prison? What about that picture makes her look that way? If it was a white women, would you say that?

Yes. I am not racist. She could have been yellow, green, purple, polka dot, blue or any other color you wanted to choose.

Let me now add forget the color of the skin for the bigots out there. That is a prison and ghetto face. Look at some prison photos and you'll get the reference.

Move on now, it has nothing to do with race or politics.

You can honestly say that you arent racist?

But why is that a prison and ghetto face? I just don't get the logic. It is a perfectly normal face. She isn't doing anything out of the ordinary, just looking straight ahead. But because she is black, you think it is a ghetto face. If a white person was looking forward like that, not making any real expression, you would never make that comment. Ive looked at prison photos and dont get the reference. Nothing about her looks like she is ghetto.

You are most definitely a racist, lol

 

[KingofNicotine]

I love racists because they never realize they are racist.

At least I admit it when I'm being racist.

If she looks ghetto to you it's because it's all in your head. You already have some picture in your head that you associate with "ghetto." She's black and nothing more.
