Is it unpatriotic to post this picture?

Do you like this story?

Michael Phelps. US swimmer. Apparently he’s quite fast. As a little Monday pick-me-up for the ladies, here are a couple of pictures so, you know, you can not cheer for him in any race where he’s competing against an Aussie. Oi Oi Oi.

    How does he get those swimmers to stay up while he’s swimming? I would have thought that the kicking would drag them halfway down his butt, given how low they are to start with.

    Nice body and sensational swimmer ! Pity he completely ignored the French relay team after the US posted their come from behind win in the relay yesterday…he and a team mate spent more time screaming and yelling and flexing their muscles than displaying good sportsmanship.

    for the males who have actually read this far, have you seen Bia and Branca Feres, 19-year-old Brazilian synchronised swimming twins – I might even be able to get my hubby to watch synchronised swimming.
