The 2016 Rio Olympics were a tremendous success for the USA. With 121 medals total, 46 of them being gold, there is no denying that the USA was a force to be reckoned with this summer Olympics. Aside from the multitude of medals, there was also an abundance of memes formulated thanks to Olympic coverage and the world wide web; such as Michael Phelps Darth Vader, Aly Raisman's anxious parents, and most importantly and unfortunately... blonde (and then green) Ryan Lochte.
Blonde Ryan Lochte faced some extreme backlash after reportedly "over exaggerating" his claims of being robbed at gun point after a night out in Rio with fellow olympic swimmers James Feign, Gunnar Bentz, and Jack Conger. Essentially ruining the end to a great games in Rio and offending an entire country, Lochte had to respond for his actions. In accordance, a freshly dyed Brunette Ryan Lochte took the initiative to explain to Matt Lauer on the Today show that he was publicly sorry and "embarrassed" for the incident. Regardless, Lochte was dropped by three major sponsors, such as Speedo USA, and Brazilian authorities have decided to charge him for filing a false police report, which could potentially earn him a one to six month stint in jail.
Iconic.
I've decided that Blonde Ryan Lochte is Brunette Ryan Lochte's alter-ego, and he is a bad boy.
So, which Ryan Lochte are you?
You are totally Blonde Ryan Lochte if...
1. you are in a frat.
2. You're favorite color is green.
Dude! Every blonde knows that the number one rule is to avoid chlorine at ALL costs.
3. You're not a liar, just an exaggerator...
4. You forgot your "grillz" at home so you have to compensate by bleaching your hair
God bless America...
5. This is your motto= "If you're a man at night you gotta be a man in the morning." WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??
6. You are a 12 year old boy.
7. You have one gold medal for swimming in a giant "toilet"
You are Brunette Ryan Lochte if...
1. You act a little closer to what a 32 year old should act like, but mental age still sits at about 17.
2. You take responsibility for your actions... but only because your press rep. made you do it :/
3. You have five gold medals.
4. You cry a little because your lawyer recommended it.
5. You are a potential reality star. Your show "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" lasted one season too long. Damn you E!.
6. Matt Lauer totally thinks you're full of shit.
7. You are endorsed by Pine. Bros (the cough drop company).
They recently released a statement saying, "Just as Pine Bros. is forgiving to your throat, the company asks the public for a little forgiveness for an American swimming legend."
I think all of us have a little bit of blonde and brunette Lochte inside of us, choosing to come out when the time is right... or completely wrong.
