Dookie water

I watched a few documentaries on the ghettos they are hiding from public view and polluted water there. I sure as hell wouldn't get into the sea water there.

Rio's a shithole.

[Rick Modena]

Yeah, sounds like a fucking disgusting place to have an international event, much less the Olympics...

The green diving pool mystery has been claimed that hydrogen peroxide was dumped in the pool. This chemically neutered the chlorine and caused an algae bloom.

What possible reason could someone have for putting hydrogen dioxide in a swimming pool....

Yeah, the excuse was that someone "accidentally" poured 160 liters of H2O2 in the pool. You don't accidentally carry around 160 liters of anything and you certainly don't accidentally pour anything into a pool at the olympics. Someone meant to do it - it's just that the guy they hired was a retard.

Then they followed up with this gem

“Chemistry’s not an exact science,”

Pretty sure we have pool chemistry fairly nailed down these days...

I can't wait for SVO's take on it.

[Strychnine]

Oh, before the H2O2 thing came out these were their many excuses:

They ran out of chemicals.
There were too many people using the pool.
It wasn’t windy enough.
It was too hot.
It was too acidic.
The water was “confused.”

That's such bullshit.

I'm no SVO, but I took care of the pools in the two different houses we had with pools while growing up. No, it's not an exact science, but that makes it even easier. Throw some fucking Shock in it, let it cycle for a day, and then keep it balanced.

If there are "too many people in it," then why don't public pools have this problem? Why haven't previous Olympic pools had this problem? If it's too acidic, then put some fucking more chlorine in it.

[Baron Von Crowder]

Hydrogen Peroxide is used as a pool sanitizer. What you dont do is mix different types of sanitizers, and they did.

[BP]

I can't wait for SVO's take on it.

He's probably in Rio right now trying to fix the problem. It's taking so long though because they booked the Swedish women volley ball teams in the rooms adjacent to his and they've been keeping him busy. Beach on one side, court on the other. That and he's been helping train Michael Phelps.

[cool cat]

It wasn’t windy enough.
It was too hot.

lol

LMFAO!

[helosailor]

They should have stuck to dihydrogen monoxide.

Oh, and X2 on it being a shithole. When we ported there, 95% of the city was off limits...drink bottled water only...double wrap the dong...try to avoid street food vendors... watch out for pickpockets...try not to get stabbed...etc.
