There is a controversy brewing at the London Olympics and it doesn't involve judges, steroids, or tanking matches (we're looking at you Badminton) - it involves bikinis.
Critics are claiming that not only are the women's beach volleyball uniforms too sexy, but that photographers seem to be focusing an inordinate number of their images on certain parts of the female anatomy.
Are the Olympics women's beach volleyball photos too sexy? That is the claim being made by some people who find that too many pictures of these female Olympians are filled with crotch shots and close-ups of women's derrieres in tight bikini bottoms, according to the Huffington Post just yesterday.
... Although female beach volleyball teams are no longer required to wear bikinis while competing in the Olympics, most of them chose to continue the tradition of skimpy two-piece swimsuits for the 2012 Olympics.
It should come as no surprise that the women's beach volleyball photos of competitors in bikinis come across as far sexier than photos of Olympians who chose to compete while fully clothed. While wearing a bikini, everything from hand signals to a congratulatory hug looks sexy. No one is blaming the women for being too sexy. The question is whether the photographers are gratuitously focusing on certain body parts or poses when they snap their photos.
So what do you think? Too sexy, too photographed, or not enough of either?

I think that site I just posted needs the NSFW tag!
My 14 year old son has been focused on women’s beach volley ball since the Olympics started. It’s the first time he’s noticed it.
They’re asking the wrong question. The real question is, could critics of women’s volleyball uniforms be any more gay?
Apparently too many Heterosexual photographers and fans are out their.....if they were all openly lesbians then this would celebrated.
I tried asking mr. b but couldn’t get him to take his eyes off the tv to answer.
Probably also been spending an extra amount of time in the bathroom, too. ;-D
Did you notice the Polish male cycling team’s uniforms?
eh-hem.....
(There is a VERY revealing frontal photo of them in their uniforms circulating - shows in a detailed manner the outline of their “junk.”

Or any more Muslim? Not sure how the women’s beach voleyball uniforms are being televised in the Middle East, if at all.
I watched Italy play Spain this morning and I say definitely not too sexy. Bellisima!
Yeeeeeesh...
Rules people, rules.
No they are Juuuusssst right.
Vell, I teenk the prawblem stems from the sub-conscious longing of the human male to return to a place similar to vhere he spent the most comfortable 9 months of hiss lyfe.
Since it’s impossible for a grown individual to do dhat, dhey have lowered their expectations and vill be do everyteeng dey can, just to get PART of their body back into a nice warm place like that occasionally. Dat’s vhat I teenk!
