Personally, upon finding this out, I thought it was great news. I thought it would be good for Brazil. As much as I love America, they're probably the most financially screwed over country out of the finalists (thank you George W Bush, the original monkey man).
However, a vast majority of the commenters on PerezHilton.com didn't seem to think so.
"Rio is violent, Rio is bad, blah blah blah blah", well I've got news for you: THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD IS CORRUPT. Pick a country, and there are at least 3 ways in which it is screwed up. I'm Australian/American, spend my life going back and fourth, and the flaws are obvious. Contrary to popular belief, the system here (Australia. more specifically Victoria) kinda really sucks. A friend who lives a few blocks away from me had their house broken into the other day. A store at the local village was robbed and vandalized. The majority of the beach-side towns near where I live are over-run by "bogans". I'm not saying EVERYONE is like this, but I'm just saying there are a lot of scummy people in the world.
The health care system is great though, but when you're in the fucking emergency room for 4 hours, then you know there's still a problem. Also, the doctor at THE HOSPITAL didn't know how to read X-Rays. Go figure.
My dad is Italian, his parents moved from Sicily to Australia because of the violence problem (with mafia and whatnot, although pretty much every country has a mafia now). And I know a lot of people who had issues with China hosting the 2008 olympics because their policies about basic human rights.
