Reasons number 9001-9025 why the Russians are totally badass: Passing the lit Olympic torch / Russia :: Sochi 2014 :: torch :: olympics :: badass :: countries

On a snowboard

Wearing a fucking *jetpack*

At the North Pole

Aboard a fucking Soyuz rocket to the International Space Station

Passed in orbit... so badass that we forgive them for having it unlit!

Via zipline

A 101-year-old man who was alive before the Winter Games were even in existence

By the badass leader

Up the side of a bridge

Via kayak

On a replica Viking ship

Via horseback

Do not forget this failure

can't say it do, think of the cost of the trip, pointless and expensive.

how about use some money on the workers instead of pointless stuff....

"Guys, our water is fucked! How do we distract everyone from noticing?"
"I dunno...take the torch into space?"
"That's wasteful and stupid. Perfect."

1.) I don't know how you think you know my political affiliation from a silly comment about the well-documented contaminated water crisis in Sochi but H-OKAY GUY GUESS YOU WIN THAT ROUND

2.) That's all seawater. Like, from the sea. They can't drink that. You know that right? The water in the picture is from a tap in a 5-star hotel where Stacy St. Clair, Chicago Tribune reporter, is staying. Sochi's water is not drinkable, in layman's terms, FUCKED. When they have the money to carry a torch into space (for no reason other than....I guess?) they really should have invested some into water treatment facilities. Like, any water treatment facilities. Seriously, just one would probably be an improvement.

My god, they take clear water and turn it into piss? Russia is more fucked up than I thought.

Meh I'm not worried. All fun and games, until someone gets piss thrown on them.

That`s stupid.
