in a recent rant, i explained annoyance with professional swimmers new high-tech suits. seemingly as a rebuttal to my post, American swimmer Ricky Berens showed us the potential good in this evil. while stretching for his relay at the world championships, he split his suit down the back, revealing, well...
i think a fantastic article on the washington post website (found here) may have said it best --
The tear exposes a significant portion of Berens's backside anatomy. Suffice it to say that the rear end of a championship swimmer is a magnificent example of how glorious the human body can be. In an era when so many of this country's backsides have gone wide, flat and flabby from too much couch-sitting and cupcake-eating, the Berens buttocks were a visual rebuke of Americans' deep-fried bad habits.
perhaps the ban on these suits will actually spell the unitard's demise. there is hope.
