For an event set in the City of Love, the whole thing doesn’t sound very lovely. The Paris Olympics have captured headlines for all the worst reasons: protests against them, poop in the water where athletes will be swimming, and, most confusingly, statements that the beds were made to stop people from banging.

Well, kind of. In short, the beds are made from cardboard and are only intended to hold one person. Add another into the mix, maybe a little bit of thrusting, and your bed is likely to become a beautifully engineered stack of biodegradable garbage.

All of this would be okay if the beds worked. Unfortunately, as one Olympian on TikTok recently noted, they suck ass.
