Sochi: Warning Issued, Saying, "Don't Touch The Water, It Contains Something Very Dangerous"

It seems as if CBS is trying to downplay the news.

The residents of this hotel were told, literally, "Don't touch the water. It contains something very dangerous."

How is that an amusing Human Interest story?

But CBS presents it as if it is. Amazing.

From CBS:

CHICAGO (CBS) — We all know how the old saying goes when you travel: “Don’t drink the water.” Well in Sochi, Russia, you had better not TOUCH the water, either. 

When Chicago Tribune reporter Stacy St. Clair, who is covering the Winter Olympics for the newspaper, arrived at her hotel, she was informed that there was a problem with the water and it had been shut off. 

Then hotel staff delivered an ominous warning: “Do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous.” 

Water was eventually restored, but it came out of the tap in a less than appealing color. (See above.) 

“On the bright side, I now know what very dangerous face water looks like,” St. Clair tweeted. “Also on the bright side: I just washed my face with Evian, like I’m a Kardashian or something.”

Hardy, fuckin' har har har.
