Synchronized Spaniards

"Grrrr. We are speeting fire at you!"

What is it with the Spanish Olympians?

First they dress like a Disney cartoon at the opening ceremony. Then the basketball team makes "Asian eyes," now the female synchronized swimmers are not allowed to wear their custom swimsuits.

The suits had lights imbedded in them so they would light up like Christmas trees.

Someone was quoted as saying, “This is a very conservative sport … their excuse that is you cannot have accessories on your swimsuit, but they are sewn in. If you use those standards, sequins are a type of accessory.”

A very conservative sport? Let's face it, kids, this isn't a sport at all so why not let them wear whatever they want? What's the worst that can happen? They get electrocuted?

My problem is the nose plugs. I mean this is the 21st century. Is anyone working on a nose plug that doesn't seem so nerdy?
