Olympic Orgy
I love the Olympics. From the sense of comraderie between nations, the fierce competitions, amazing displays of athletic prowess, to even the John Williams' "Olympic Fanfare", the Olympic games is definitely an experience I hope to be a part of one day (obviously not as a participant...have you seen my skinny yet flabby body?). So when I realized I had a performance the night of the Opening Ceremonies, you could say I was a tad bit disappointed.
Anyway, to the point of this entry (which isn't a meaningful one at all), I happened to catch Woman's Synchronized Diving on TV yesterday. I've never watched it before, and quite frankly, I didn't even know there was a sport of synchronized diving. Now, I don't know if the ratings for past Olympics have slipped at all, or if the IOC (International Olympic Committee) is moving towards a "new direction" with some of these events, but what I saw while watching yesterday was kind of interesting and mildly funny. After each pair dives (holy cow there was no splash! whoa!) the two women proceed to get out of the pool and rinse off in the shower... together...in the same shower...while awaiting their scores. Yes, that's right. While they're wondering if they received .5 deductions because their toes were slightly mis-aligned, they're rubbing themselves down together in the shower with, of course, the cameras fixed on them. And You'd figure that they would rinse at the end of the competition since the whole event consists of 5 or so rounds of diving. But no, they rinse together, in the shower with cameras watching, after every single dive. Is chlorine that unbearable, or does NBC and the IOC have something else up their sleeve?
I can't wait until the Synchronized Swimming events. Ten girls rinsing off in one shower...yeahhhhhh boyyyyy!!!
Gosh I'm bored at work.
