In a yet another surprise today, the IOC convened an emergency meeting to retroactively reconsider the Chicago bid for the 2016 Olympics.
After some deliberation, the committee chair stated "We clearly did not properly consider the magnitude of the US President's awesomeness. Taking our cue from the Nobel Committee, we have reevaluated our position and now see that not only he too awesome to turn down, but we should and will rename the Olympics after him. From now on, they will be known as the BOlympics.
The representatives of the Rio de Janero Olympics 2016 bid committee could not be reached, since they were still hung over from the celebrations following the original awarding of the event.
Could the BOscars be far behind? What about the BAmmys? The BOneys? The Tour de Bama? The Bolitzer Prize?
It’s the LEAST the IOC could do.
