Sea Monsters and Camel Toe... Oh My!

August 4, 2008 - 10:15am — Grace Moon

Last week Gawker broke the news of a little “Nessy” washing ashore on Montauk Beach, the ritzy beach town on the northern tip of Long Island. Why do scary things happen in Long Island? First, the Amityville horror and now this. Actually, we are late in getting this news to you. When CNN gets its hand’s on Gawker news, you know it's old. And if real life muppets make you squeamish, you may not want to watch this video.


Human rights issues aside, the Beijing Olympics are opening as planned this Friday, 8/8/08 at 8:08:08 p.m. Eight is a lucky number in China, because it sounds like the word “prosperity” in the Chinese language. So triple eight is even luckier, and sextuple eight even luckier still.

And there seems to be a lot of luck to go around. Swimmer Dana Torres has skirted the drug controversy, and she’s going to her fifth Olympics. She’s 41, she’s a Mom and she has a killer body. Period.

 

Human rights and drug use aren’t the only controversies on the list for the Summer Games. Apparently sports apparel maker Speedo was under scrutiny by the swimming world's governing body to determine if it’s new swimsuit, LZR Racer, was legal. Speedo outfits the U.S. National Team. The LZR Racer was being banned for the fear that the Speedo suit would give the U.S. Team an unfair advantage. After deliberations, the governing body changed their minds. The LZR Racer has been admitted into the Games and will be worn by all most every swimmer who can get their hands on a suit, even the Chinese team who is officially sponsored by Nike. The suit has already allowed world record holders to break their previous records. The new material, developed by NASA, displaces water better than human skin. And speaking of human skin...


Way to go, Michael Phelps.

I love the Olympics

Dana Torres kicks ass. But I'm focusing on Misty May and Kerri Walsh. They're the greatest! 2 of the hardest working people in the Olympics.

Be scared, be very scared!

I'm not talking about the "Mauntauk Monster," though that's kinda freaky. Nor am I talking about the swimmers mentioned, although one must wonder just how completely spun the family values bunch will get when they see more than a nipple with that latest offering from Speedo.

No, I'm talking about the news I heard today. Seems Paris Hilton released her own campaign response to the McCain Campaign ad that mocks Obama's popularity.

Now, here's the scary part...

Paris Hilton's "energy policy" makes far more sense than anything we've heard in the media to date.

Pretty scary when Paris Hilton makes more sense than all our elected and appointed officials, combined! A career politician and a constitutional law professor just got outdone by a blond bombshell heiress who's main claim to fame is a porno released out of revenge by her ex.

Yeah, I'm scared, lol.

how can this make people

how can this make people squeamish? i'm made squeamish by clips of people getting breast implants(like when they stuff the sack of liquid in through the hole where the nipple used to be) or clips of people falling off skateboards and breaking bones, but i don't understand why people are made squeamish by this. i think only horrible pain makes me squeamish.

who cares whether the suit is legal or not

the only two countries that matter in swimming are the US and Australia (and for the record, australia will kick your ass). and we are both wearing it.

Speedo's and drugs and pussy, oh my!

Apparently the Olympic authorities will be concerned w/ a little more than just doping and that new speedo. They R also conducting a sex test to prevent male impostors from competing against women. The problem w/ it? "Certain chromosomal abnormalities may cause a woman to fail a test, even though it gives her no competitive advantage. Also, if a female athlete fails a test she must have a physiological examination, which many consider invasive and a privacy violation." (http://olympics.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/lab-ready-for-sex-tests-for...)

Also, according to http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/0082.htm, "The irony is that the tests would not identify women with medical conditions that, in theory, might give them a competitive advantage over 'normal' women, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia and androgen-secreting tumours that could result in greater muscle mass." Food for thought, eh?
