lolz. I don’t even know where to begin with this other than: “classic misinterpretation.”I like to watch Olympic stuff during Olympic years. As in… all of it. What I don’t enjoy seeing is practically all of the male diver’s butts hanging not only out of the bottom of their speedos (because they’re too small) but out of the top. Let me recap: I can see their actual butt cheeks and crack. Pardon me if I’m put off at the sight of this on my 55” HD TV while the cameramanperson zooms in allllll the way. Swimming speedos on men were once like briefs. Now they’re getting closer and closer to low-cut boy shorts (that women wear). How exactly do exposed butt cheeks “best optimize the performance”? Please enlighten me.

  6. canttuchthis said: The only thing I can think of is maybe it helps keep them from falling off when they enter the water? Super absurdly tight = less likely to fall? PS keep an eye on Nick McCrory and Abby Johnston, went to school with them :)
  7. girlwearsmascara said: she has a point though. optimizing their sport. trust me. i’ve been around men in speedos all my life, as a swimmer. not a new thing.
