no offense to chicago



i'm very happy to hear that the 2016 olympics will be in rio de janeiro. it's about time for south america to host the olympics. the us has hosted it so many time (so many times just in my 28-year lifetime). and, finally, i'm glad that having the obamas and oprah lobby for chicago didn't sway the committee's vote. it's fine to lobby for your country/city (and, honestly, it's expected), but a country/city should not win because high-profile people want it to be there.

yea for rio!

I picked Rio too. Seriously, Chicago sounds booorring compared to the sunny southern paradise. Now if only I had enough money to actually go...

I'm with you, and I live in Chicago. South America needed a turn.
