This may be the strangest NPR reporting I've ever seen:

The NPR profile found bros to be mainly white and divided into several subsets - "jockish", "dudely", "preppy" and "stoner" - and at the centre of this nexus was none other than Mr Lochte.

"He's a jock. He has a stoner affect. He competes in a preppy sport. He tweets pics of him and his dudes doing bro-ass things. So you can see why Lochte is the platonic ideal of bro-dom," NPR said.

Well, now we have even more evidence to support the notion that rich, white, bro-dude, quasi-professional athletes are actually lying pieces of shit. I went to a private school, so I have known this to be fact since 6th grade. Glad everyone else is up to speed.

Same culture that hires people because they went to college rather than because they are skilled or capable or the best candidate. It's an extension of bro culture. Same "we are part of the same social group" thing.

Yikes!

Yes, and over 150 missing. The village where it hit was reduced to rubble.

@thwr you guys just keep updating the death toll. Figured this was easier.

Sorry, I think a meme doesn't fit the tragedy

My cousins friend from highschool was just found dead. Someone shot him and dumped his body in the woods.
