My favorite part is the THREE close ups.

But I'd hit that.

"I kind of freaked out for just a second," Berens said. "I felt like [the hole] was almost down to my knees. I felt like I was putting on a pretty good show."

The hole was down to his knees? He sounds like the Wilt Chambelain of bottoms.

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

Was this just prior to Fina's ban on the full bodysuits?

Black hair on his head, but blonde hair on his butt?

What's wrong with this?

Agreed. Seriously, though, has the ban not yet taken effect or was this before? I was excited that maybe they'd be going back to speedos, but if these bodysuits are going to rip so beautifully I might just prefer them after all.

Does this kind of thing happen often? It seems like we'd have heard about it if it's happened before and I haven't, but this can't have been the first time.

He's given a new meaning to the "free" in freestyle. I'm officially declaring myself a fan of the sport now.

The ban starts January 1, 2010.

This is what happens when you put 10 pounds of booty in a 5 pound suit.
