Political Mayhem Thursday: Russian hospitality!


As I've written before, Sochi seems like a less-than-great choice for the Winter Olympics, and only in part because it is semi-tropical.  

Journalists checking in have reported some unusual issues with their accommodations, including the note from one that "My hotel has no water. If restored, the front desk says, "do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous."  Uh oh.

The bathroom sign above offers some pretty sensible instructions-- like "don't go fishing in the toilet," but I'm baffled by what that guy in the bottom right-hand picture is up to...

Is it just me, or does it seem a little fishy that a place like Sochi got the games in the first place.

With all the vodka they drink in Russia, one would think they understand the concept of bowing to the porcelain goddess...

At first I thought the lower right pic was suggesting if you do go fishing and you catch a fish, we have a catch and release policy ... or more likely, "just eat the fish," since there's a slash through it. Later I read elsewhere that toilet paper is not to be deposited in the toilet. Rather it goes into a wastebasket. So it's probably a Russian graphic for that ... or anything else other than bodily waste.
