Pole dancing in the olympics? One can only hope...



FOX SPORTS: Poles might be used for more than just vaulting at the 2012 Olympics in London. A group of supporters has started a petition to get pole dancing into the Olympic games. It's not what you might think. Often associated with strip clubs, pole dancing is also an increasingly popular way for women to stay in shape. "It's automatically assumed it has something to do with stripping," Lizz Schofield, owner of a Utah dance studio where "Pole Fitness" is in vogue, told KUTV.com, the Web site for a Salt Lake-area CBS affiliate. "But this is not stripping at all."

When I first heard about this I got mad. I thought to myself "Pole dancing? They are going to take something I watch every Saturday night and Wednesday afternoon and make it an Olympic sport? What a mockery of the Olympics!"  Then I remembered curling. And Bad mitten. And the fact that the U.S. actually has to play Basketball against other countries. The Olympics have been a joke for a long time. So screw it. Let's see some naked ladies dance around on poles and we need to get some serious judges. If they do this, again, it needs to be American Idol format. The judges can't be like they are in the gymnastics and ice dancing. We need to hear from them. I want some jerk calling out the girls and their performance. Priceless. Oh yeah, and before you get on your high horse talking about the sexual nature of pole dancing, just watch these ice dancers. Half the time they're humping air. Now, that's neither the routine my girl Shannon Leigh used to do or does she teach her students that. But we all know it's out there.
