You'd think that with all that television coverage NBC would have at least recorded some of the action for the rest of us; in the meantime we'll be keeping our fingers crossed for a bootleg "Synchronized Swimmers Gone Wild!" video to turn up before 2012 rolls around.

]]> http://fleshbot.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5041310&view=rss&microfeed=true Slate addresses the curious question of why beach volleyball players are always slapping each other on the ass and concludes that it has something to do with every sport having "its own superstitious tics, preening behavior, and weird bits of incidental ceremony". And here we were thinking that it was simply because a lot of beach volleyball players have really nice asses, which just goes to show how little we really know about beach volleyball. (But not nice asses. We do know our nice asses.) (slate.com)

In addition to all the eye candy, it turns out it's the first time the Grey Lady has printed the word "XTube" as well (and no, that online mention in a Freakonomics column a few months ago doesn't count). We're still waiting for them to use the terms "bulgewatch", "ass smoothie", and "dirt pipe milkshake" ... but for now we'll take what we can get. Baby steps, y'all! (erikmaza.tumblr.com)

This year, that media darling is none other than Laure Manaudou, the French swimmer whose life was ripped apart last December by a nude photo scandal. See everyone? You can overcome such life-altering experiences like having everyone see your naked boobs! Someone should forward this story to Jess Origliasso for inspiration. (guardian.co.uk)
