Pole dancing has come a long way since it appeared at 1980s strip clubs. It now has an accepted scoring system.

...

The Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) confirmed yesterday that it has given observer status to the International Pole Sports Federation (IPSF) in a move which sets out a “clear pathway” towards full Olympic recognition.

The Olympics has ice dancing but should add Couples Twerk Strip Ice Dancing with Big O.

And, of course, they need to have competitions for all 54 genders.

I want to see new events for sexual acts in the Olympics.

I do believe the ratings would go up.

The mohammedan nations will protest ... unless you include their favorite activities as well.

But if you do include them, PeTA will protest.

Within 20 years, sexual gymnastics, live and performed in the nude, will be an Olympic sport.

We are at the point at which serious athletes in serious sports should just walk away from the Olympics. Short of that, the women at least should cover up, starting with volleyball, beach volleyball, and track. If they want to be treated seriously as athletes, compete in regular gym shorts and a tee shirt type top, and stop selling skin.

But it's all driven by television dollars, and television has gone for porn.

Imagine women from around the world coming together to compete in a sporting event and they’re all named Tiffany. I wonder if they’ll be judged on their tattoos and piercings.

Paging Laz:

It appears you will soon add Olympic Sports Judge to your already impressive resume.

LOL, one of my favorites, ask and ye shall receive!

The funniest thing about that whole sketch was, when you watch it, they are going back and forth in that "dance off", but when Chris Farley finishes and Patrick Swayze starts to begin his turn, Chris Farley just keeps on going, and starts doing some completely off the wall things, jumping to his feet, putting his fingers in "v" in front of his eyes (Not Pulp Fiction style, something completely stationary) and it was so funny and weird that Patrick Swayze just stood there apparently dumbfounded, watching him as he stole the show...

One of my favorite silly comedy movies is "Tommy Boy"...the scene where he spills his M&M's in David Spade's car is priceless!
