SilkWizard	This is hilarious. CNN's hopeful little countdown timer makes it even better.

Vexonater	Being that I live in the Chicagoland area, let me be the first to comment that I am very happy to see that Chicago is not going to be hosting the Olympics.

Yeah I read a poll that said something like 45% of people in Chicago didn't want the Olympics. I wouldn't want them in my town either.

Jeff8500	At about 1:15, that fountain looks like it's filled with blood. Did CNN arrange any sacrifices?

How could you not want the Olympics in your town? Just imagine the bump in tourism and all the money!

...and then imagine the year after and all of the abandoned structures taken over by gang members and breaking down within a matter of a couple years.
