Rio upset by Robin Williams’ joke about strippers

RIO DE JANEIRO – Robin Williams may have to scratch Rio de Janeiro off his list of possible vacation sites.

Some citizens and officials in the Brazilian city are upset with comments the comedian made on a recent appearance on the “Late Show” with David Letterman, saying Rio received the 2016 Olympics because it sent “50 strippers and a pound of blow” to compete with Chicago’s entourage that included President Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey.
