    18 mile road in Russia cost 8.4 billion.. Olympics related

    You think the US govt is bad.. We can't even match this kind of corruption..

    An 18-mile road between Sochi, where events such as hockey, speed skating and figure skating will be held, and the mountain sports cluster of Krasnaya Polyana has become a symbol of the huge cost increases, spiralling to a reported $8.6bn. "You could have paved this road with five million tons of gold or caviar and the price would have been the same," Nemtsov said in an interview with the RBK television channel in July.

    Full article on how half of 51 billion has disappeared from the money for the Winter Olympics in Russia.

            Is porn banned in Russia? I didn't know that

            FYI: My TV provider in Moscow has the following porn channels:
            Private Spice
            Hustler HD/3D
            Hustler Blue
            Hustler TV

              Any city/state/country that wants the Olympics is run by fools - they do nothing for a country and its people other than a few weeks of feeling proud because you just pissed away billions of dollars that could have gone to important things that would help millions and all you'll be left with is a swimming pool, some dormitories and a hockey rink and a few million Olympic t-shirts, beer mugs and keychains that didn't sell discounted for $0.99

              Such a waste, what's the total budget up to for Sochi?

                51 Billion on stupid Winter Olympics. How many hospitals and schools and senior living centers could be built for 51 Billion? Hell, if they built the world's most fantastic amusement park with the 51 billion it would be money better spent and millions of Russians and tourists would enjoy it for the next 50 years.

                            where is this spokesman buying his gold? I'll take that price any day.. hehe

                            8400000000/41789.54 current price of gold per kg

                            201007.2377 kg = 443145.1034 lbs

                            443145.1034/2000 (2000 lbs being 1 tonne)

                            221.573 tonnes

                                  Shooting porn was illegal in the USSR. In Russia it is illegal for distribution only. I.e. you can shoot your own home video or swinger parties etc - this is not a crime.

                                  Also I didn't get your "now" word. Shooting porn for distribution has never been legal in Russia.
