Games
So the Sochi Winter Olympics is going to cost approximately $50 Billion. Fuck ... Me! I've had a look at all the events and all you need is a ski slope, an ice rink and a luge track. 50 .. Fucking .. Billion .. Dollars!
There's something seriously wrong with the world isn't there? And all I hear on the radio are people getting excited because Britain has won their first medal on snow. Get the fuck over it.
Global hunger currently afflicts nearly a billion people worldwide. Severe acute malnutrition, however, is the more immediate killer and it threatens the lives of 34 million children. Every year at least 1 million of them die from malnutrition-related causes. If we were to use existing resources and give all the $50B to world famine organisations, this would be enough for each of the 34 million children to have $1470 per year. How much can that buy you in Lidl?

And don't get me wrong, I love the World Cup, but all you need is about 12 football pitches. This year it is estimated the competition will cost about $14.5B, and they're on their arse in Brazil as it is.
