We realize the
Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships are in session, but we also realize that the sport is not popular in the U.S. except as a source of
derision. Nonetheless both the
Daily News and the
Staten Island Advance have photo features on it. In the slot where the
News normally runs stories like "
Abs-olutely Hot! Stomachs of the Stars," they offer 21 slides in which you can "check out the ladies in action." "HOW DO THEY DO THEY BEND LIKE THAT?" asks the
Advance, marveling at the "extraordinary suppleness" of "lissome Filipa Simeonova of Bulgaria." Call us cynical, but we suspect the intended come-on is not the human drama of athletic competition. We'll stick with our old-fashioned
celebrity nudes, thank you very much.
(We notice the Advance has removed at least one entry -- "chubb" -- from their comment box. Advance commenters are always a treat.)
