No, it's wrong.

No.

Oh Sweet Baby Jesus that is just wrong.

You mean other than being boring? :confused:

Even my quasi-liberal college admin wife said, "Hell No".

Reminds me of this...

My question too.

Never had the slightest interest in watching synchronized swimming, thought it was goofy that it became an Olympic event: http://www.london2012.com/synchronized-swimming/

If the marine maladroits in the clip were female - I'm only aware of female synchronized swim teams - would the macho-dude-comments here be the same? I mean, why do some of you guys seek this crap out and post it if it's threatening to your sense of masculinity? :p

Hey, live and let live...or, in this case, sink and let sink. Wasn't there a case some years ago where a synchronized swimmer - and her partner - drowned?! :eek: HA! :D

Please say it was shot in Italy.

You needed to share this ? Because WHY ???

DD, because I wanted my horror validated. :D

Darisc. I have no fondness for synchro swimming by any gender. I didn't seek it, it was posted to Yahoo. This just happened to push my WTF button. Why would men want to do this?

The title of the clip says Paris. Hopefully not Paris TX!

Bul5hit there's not

I just couldn't watch more than about 20 seconds....just threw up in my mouth...

Flattbutt, Tabs will be over soon to collect your Man Card :D

mea culpa

Wrong on several levels...

Too bad he's gone, normy would have really enjoyed that.

My guess is that they're gay. I'm not, couldn't care less if they are or not and synch. swimming bores me. So I watched all of 5 sec. before I quit it.

Gays and their behavior provoke derision and laughter among many, yourself and the majority of the other posters here included.

Whether or not you are willing and able to grasp the reality of it, when you do this, you are engaging in homophobic behavior. Homophobic behavior is a form of bigotry.

If you choose to present yourself as a homophobic bigot, that's certainly your right to do so. Consider, though, that to deny that that is what you are doing is ignorant. It's really as simple as that. SmileWavy

YMCA.... it's fun to swim at the Y-M-C- Ay-Ay...

Seriously, those are some courageous "dudes".

I saw an episode of "Hey Arnold" about this... many years ago.

I thought it was hilarious, thanks for posting.

I didn't mind watching it, but I couldn't help thinking, "wow - this is the EXACT opposite of mens water polo!"

Seriously - have you guys been watching the water polo? I've never watched it before this Olympics. Sort of like rugby in the water. I know that you get points for putting the ball into the goal, but I believe there is some type of award system in place for successful near-drowning of the opponent as well as more hits to the body and face than I've seen in some boxing matches.

I didn't watch the video - life is too short - but synchronized swimming is a very demanding sport. The swimmer has to hold and change positions underwater, inverted, holding their breath for very long periods, propelling themselves without breaking their lines. Try getting yourself vertical and inverted, head and torso underwater, legs holding a specific angle and pose above the water, then propel yourself through an intricate movement with other similarly positioned swimmers, everyone holding their breath for up to three minutes, all appearing perfectly unruffled. I promise that none of us could come close to doing it.

Have a friend who went to Europe to play pro team handball, for a Swedish team I think, for a year after dental school.

I never heard of the sport until he told me about it. He described it as kinda like a cross between soccer, football and water polo, w/o helmets, said they're all nuts.

Of course, my buddy Jeff is nuts; talked some of his frat boys into flying over to meet him and run with the bulls in Pamplona that summer, then years later, went back with some of them and did it again.

Don't know when it became an Olympic sport, but it is this year:

TEAM HANDBALL - THE BEST SPORT EVER - YouTube

USA Team Handball Introductory Video - YouTube

(TRAILER) The Swimsuit Issue - 2009 Tribeca Film Festival Selection - YouTube

Reminds me of this movie...available on Netflix streaming, and pretty funny if you can enjoy subtitled films.

I have no problem with homosexual s. But I think even most homosexuals would say "Eww ,That's freakin gay !"

I promise that none (well, most) of us don't come close to doing a lot of what those fellows do.

Still doesn't make it a sport.
