I finally understand why people train so hard for that stupid triple jump…!
Now, this is really interesting…:
Olympic-themed condom adverts have been released in China to coincide with the start of the 2008 Beijing Games. The adverts, which depict stick-man athletes using condoms as apparatus in Olympic events, have become a viral sensation in China.
Earlier this week it emerged that the 16,000 competitors staying in the Beijing village will be able to purchase a wide variety of soft pornography, including erotic books featuring provocative pictures of naked women with titles such as “Drawing book for the Nude”.
At the 2004 Athens Olympics 130,000 free condoms were made available to athletes and officials. In the Sydney 2000 Games, each competing athlete was given 51 condoms on arrival at the Olympic Village, but another 20,000 had to be shipped in when supplies began to run low.
I never really got that original Olympic slogan, the one stating that it is more important to partake in the Games than to win them.
Still, when you read about extra shiploads of 20,000 condoms having to be brought in during the Games, because the athletes were, excuséz le mot, running low…
… well, then it suddenly becomes a lot easier to understand why people would want to train four years for stupid shit like the triple jump.
You know how our governments are always going on about healthy living, obesity and alcohol abuse – and how it would be so much better for us if we’d exercise a bit more? Well, I’m afraid they’ve been taking the wrong approach for decades now.
Me, I hated sports when I was at school, like millions and millions of other kids. Gods, if only someone in authority had told us about these Olympic villages and those shipments of condoms…
Now, that would have been a government health and fitness campaign that would have worked like a charm with all those perpetually horny schoolboys!
