An enterprising Korean paper has got itself into scalding water over mischievously publishing these photographs of female athletes (apparently Spanish swimmers) changing rather artfully in plain view of all, preserving their modesty with only a towel. The IOC is said to be enraged.
The offending paper upped its panchira shots, four in total, to both Korean and Japanese versions of its site, it is said.
The Olympic Committee may be run by mafia, but it seems even they have their limits. However, they are quiet on the subject of why these athletes were allowed to/had to change in so exposed a location.
The athletes (what taste!) themselves don’t seem too bothered by the attention either, considering the presence of a gentleman in the background…
Did people forget that the olympic games were originally done in the nude? Anyone who is bothered by these images should be slapped continously with a sharpened cucumber.
Let us reinstate the nude Olympics. A winner for sure.
I think that would help the world out of this swamp of moral panic we’re wading through these days :P
nude males, mind you. females are different story
nude males, mind you. women are different story.
the ladies probably are in a hurry thus no time to go to the changing room.
Well, actually, if you’ve tried joining a swimming team, it’s not that hard to find swimmers (yeah, even girls) changing in public (of course, not in the nude…) when the occasion calls for it; when you’re been swimming for years you get used to it, I guess.
Though I have to admit it IS kind of open to do that in an international competition…
The IOC were probably enraged because the towels were in the way.
