PHOTO: FIFA's executive boardroom looks terrifying
Jokes are made regarding FIFA's corruption and the secrecy in which they operate their billion dollar fraud schemes all the time.
Sepp Blatter is a modern day Destro, wars are started in FIFA boardrooms over games of poker, etc. You know the ones.
Little did we know the place where these schemes are hatched look very much like the things out of our imagination.
Swiss photographer Luca Zanier's 'Corridors of Power' series takes a look at some of the most important rooms of the world when they aren't full of people. Where decisions are made regarding the future of the world, and that's not being dramatic.
The images are striking, perhaps none more than the FIFA executive boardroom in Zurich. Dirty Tackle likened it to a CIA interrogation room on an alien spaceship while Wired compared it to the war room in Dr. Strangelove.
They're both right.
Zanier also photographed the prayer room located in FIFA's headquarters in Zurich.
Wow.
