RIO DE JANEIRO 2016 - OLIMPIC GAMES / THE PRESS EXULTS, BUT THE FUTURE WORRIES

by Fábio de Oliveira Ribeiro Saturday, Oct. 03, 2009 at 3:19 PM

The Brazilian press exults, me not.





The victory of Brazil in Copenhagen provoked an avalanche of journalistic happiness. The party of Rio in 02/10/2009 has been deserving prominence in Portals of Internet, Radios, TVs. The newspapers and magazines, slower, they will surf this wave of happiness during next week. Alone with my buttons I only got to be concerned. Here my futurology exercise.



The victory of Rio will be interesting just for who will administer the event and for those that will build the necessary works. The works will cost two or three times more than they would owe and many political they will receive stunning commissions.



An or two years before the Olympic Games the "Big Skull" (popular name of the vehicle of BOPE) it will begin to visit the slums regularly for regularly to do corpses. Before the Panamerican Games in Rio the BOPE made hundreds of victims. The Olympic Games are more important, therefore, they will cart more victims. Nobody should be surprised if between 2013 and 2016 BOPE executes more than 10.000 people.



The Globe TV will buy the transmission rights for a ridiculous value and it will bite billion selling the sign to the other broadcasting stations. The Brazilians will appear cheerful in TV, but they won't receive a cent of image right.



And for speaking of pleb. The Brazilian pleb will work a lot to pay the taxes that will raise the works, they will provide the profits and the illegal commissions, but it will be happy for accomplishing the Olympic Games. The illusion of the event will compensate the life lasts full of lacks of the 180.000.000 of Brazilians that control only 25% of the national wealth.



In the end of 2016 the rich Brazilians will be richer than never. The poor people of Rio de Janeiro that survive the lunges of BOPE will continue in the shit, but they will be happier. The Brazilian fucking system that provides poverty and concentration of income will rejuvenate, but it will be intact.
