Now we're talking: Pole Dancing Added to the Olympics?

Edited on Wed Feb-24-10 02:28 PM by trumad

The Olympic Games could soon get a whole lot sexier.

A group of pole dancing advocates wants to do a test event in the 2012 London games, followed by a formal pitch to be added four years after that, when the Olympic Games will be in Rio De Janeiro. KT Coates of England is spear-heading the petition drive, gathering 4,000 signatures so far; she says she hopes to add 1,000 more. The Pole Dancing Fitness Association agrees with the idea, saying the Olympic Committee needs to acknowledge the number of people who participate in the competitive sport.

The groups say Olympic pole dancing isn't as far-fetched as you might think. Others say it won't happen.

6. I'd be real disappointed if you didn't think I was just fucking with you, joey.

How could I possibly condemn somebody for liking any sport. Goes for mad and his hideous NASCAR.

Personally, I don't think either belongs there but fair is fair.

And I think women's ski jump belongs there, too.
