Almost as if poverty and the taint of colonialism alone is not enough to turn someone into a global memetic barbarian. Almost as if... as if dogmatic ideology were somehow dangerous... hmmm.

After we left shithole Rio, we went to Iguazu falls and one day went in to a mall in the town and the wife and I were like, holy fuck any one of these girls could be a model.

It always blows my mind when tourists in developing countries roll around with expensive jewelry on. What the fuck are you thinking? The only people you are going to impress are the criminal who will rob you of it. Leave your gold shit in the hotel safe.

Or sporting fancy name brand logos unseen in the region is a huge give away.
Dress generic and roll low key. Everything is better, especially pricing.

They ought to be stripped of their medals at the very least. The Olympics is supposed to be about showing the best of humanity not being a drunk thug in someone else's country.

Better advice would be to stay the fuck out of any piece of shit country where you need to worry about being robbed for wearing name brand clothes.

The Olympics is about banging other athlete hardbodies and that sweet sweet cash payoff.
I won't cry if they did strip him of the medal, but I'm not sure I see how one has anything to do with the other. People already thought Lochte was a douchebag before this, this will just further cement his legacy in douchedom.

Shit any time I am forced to go to Wisconsin or Minnesota first thing do off the plane is buy a Camo John Deere trucker cap. Wearing one is as magical as Mormon underwear round those parts.

the punk in Rio with the knife to my gut was confused as hell when he realized I didn't have anything he wanted, no money, jewelry, watch, phone, etc. (thankfully he apparently had no use for my credit cards).
But in the end I was glad he didn't just get pissed and knife me out of frustration. I thought maybe I should have had a little roll of bills that he could take and run off and be happy with that would be no big loss to me.
Didn't matter that I wasn't wearing anything flashy or look like I had money, they still just assume you have at least something...
But yeah, just avoid fucked up places like Rio in the first place.

Yes Rio is clearly the right place to show the best of humanity.

Yes indeed
Rio 2016's record-breaking haul: 42 condoms per athlete
Seventeen days, 10,500 athletes, 33 venues, and 450,000 condoms. That’s how many camisinhas (little shirts in Brazilian slang) are being supplied by the International Olympics Committee for the 2016 Rio Summer Games. Forty-two per athlete, to be specific, which, even by Olympic standards, is a hell of a lot
