I have a lot of opinions about Qatar. I used to only have a few until they somehow got the hosting for the 2022 World Cup. Evidently they are looking to spend as much as $138 billion to host the World Cup.
What the hell everyone? Qatar? And what is up with the balls here Qatar? Do we want to rethink this in light of, you know, revolution and shit? Just curious.
By the way, the World Cup is in the summer. It is 120 degrees in Doha (Qatar’s capital you dumbshit) in the summer. Said the Guardian: “
Members of the Qatar bid committee were immediately forced to go on the defensive as they faced questions about terrorism, the treatment of women and the blistering heat in what will be the smallest country to stage the World Cup finals.”
That is a hell of a quadrifecta.
But what is great is that they addressed the heat issue first, with, you know, ROBOTIC REMOTE CONTROL CLOUDS. Seriously. You can see it in action here http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9435035.stm. I love the background music.
The most ludicrous thing about this is that the clouds cost only $500,000 each, which sounds like what the hawker at the bazaar says he can make them for. $500,000? Maybe if you order like 1,000 and pay in advance. And how much of the $138,000,000,000 is for clouds? Why not just bag the World Cup and put clouds over the whole country?
Unconfirmed sources have alternately said that the clouds will look like “a bunny eating lasagna”, “the state of Utah”, and “Sarah Jessica Parker’s face.”
The biggest problem with Qatar in the next post.
