some of you's would have already known about the olympics 2012 shortlist which was announced yesterday in Switzerland.
Rio de Janeiro was one of the four cities whose bid's were rejected. and the official reason given was of the rising crime rate over there, which raised security concerns. or so said the IOC geezers.
however, the real reason was - as straight from the reporter's gob - that the brazilian representatives behaved rather undiplomatically by bleating utter tosh, directing at new york and london, along the lines of: ".. at least terrorists don't come and attack us..". or somesuch.
that is a totally unnecessary flippant remark there, matey. or that you had too much sun inside that noggin of yours.
