The 2016 Summer Olympics will now be hosted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, if you did not know already.
And thank you people of America who criticize President Obama for going to Copenhagen to support YOUR country to host one of the world's biggest events, ass holes.
I agree that the South Americans deserve to host it, but would like to see an international sports event (such as the 2018 or 2022 World Cup) in the US in the next few years.
I am sorry if my wording was a little unclear, but i really do hate it when people still criticize someone for doing the right thing
fuck you!
So you are telling me that every charter flight costs a mill to go over the pond? If that were the case there would be a hell of a lot less yanks over here!
A typical flight between Washington, DC and Copenhagen, Denmark would have a flying time of about 8 hours, 7 minutes.
Therefore 28,800 Gallons would be used, at $5.50 a gallon that would only equate to $158,400!
