Indecency complaints about the Olympics opening ceremony.

I can understand about the nekkid stachoos and the “interpretative” dance, but what the heck is indecent about a pregnant woman? :confused:

If she was pregnant, it means she had sex.:rolleyes:

All kidding aside, the article doesn’t say what prompted the indecency complaint. The sentance about the pregnant woman was just describing the contents of the tape that was requested. The complaint could very well have nothing to do with her.

Here’s a slightly longer story: http://www.smh.com.au/news/World/Olympics-indecency-probe/2004/12/12/1102786931195.html?oneclick=true (Which also shows a clear photo of the statue costumes complete with fake penes. :D)

I can’t find anything offensive about real wangs in an artistic context, much less tiny plaster of paris versions. Ditto the occasional booby or pregnant belly. Did these people complain at the Sydney Olympic closing ceremony, which featured an obviously phallic gigantic camera lense “extending” in recognition of Elle Macphearson?

He hee hee. When watching the ceremony, I thought “some stupid Americans will freak over this”, then immediately told myself I was being too harsh.

I, for one call for a return to the Olympic Games’ historic and moral roots, a time where athletes competed with honour and dignity completely in the buff.

Come to think of it, you’d probably catch more meat and veg shots watching those spandex-clad guys in Olympic wrestling, or the jiggling, bouncing, sausage-fest that is Olympic sprinting.

I would become the biggest fan of womens wrestling. :stuck_out_tongue:
And demand a complete and uninterupted telecast.

[geek moment]Are those “statues” supposed to mimic the Kouros statues (example of one here)? Warning, statue nudity! :eek: [/geek moment]

Has anybody complained about the lesbian sex scene that occurred right after the Americans won the women’s beach volleyball contest? I mean, they embraced, they rolled around in the sand, and the position they wound up in was major lesbo-missionary.

Uh, not that I’M conplaining.

Could have been a lot worse. At least America did not have to look at a nipple during the stadium festivities.

Yeah, that would have destroyed our moral fiber good.

Imagine what the ratings would be on womens gymnastics.

Ew, creepy! Little girl bodies! My brain needs a good bleaching now.

Ms Jackson’s wizened nipple would hardly have caused a ripple on the moralfiberometer. One hopes that the hullaballoo that was manufactured and sustained afterwards would have registered.

So nobody complained about the ceremonial lighting of the giant doobie?

Sure they did. Each of those naked man-statues has *one * penis… but two exposed nipples!

You do know the etymology of ‘gymnastic,’ right?

I wish someone would complain about the Christian Right’s corncob fetish.

Simple really. Sex is a sin unless you are married. Thinking about sex with people other than your wife/husband is a sin. Viewing nudity in any form (real, statue, suggested) can lead you to thoughts of sex and therefore sin. Worse yet, seeing a penis can lead you to thoughts of homosexual sex which is a bigger sin nad gets you sent to a deeper level of hell (the Pauly Shore wing).

So what you get is a bunch of people with crucifixes up their cornholes fighting every natural urge their body has until the sexual tension gets builit up to the point where someone has to pay for every corncob or other minorly phallic symbol they’ve ever had to view.
Personally, I wish I could muster enough outrage at stuff like this to sue someone. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes :stuck_out_tongue:

Tell me this was intentional.

:smiley:

Why yes…of course it was…

That’s it. Just play it cool and noone will realize what a moron you are…
