I was privileged enough to attend the US Pole Dancing Federation’s East Coast championship last month, and to spend a bit of time with the people involved in that event. I’ll have video of that later this week, but this seems like a good time to ignite the debate–Is pole dancing a sport? All I know is that when I watch these two Australian doubles performers doing their thing, I get tired just watching them. And then I get horny, which does nothing except make me tired again. Watching these lovely ladies scale these poles remind me of the ropes in gym class…I wasn’t very good with those, either.

ASYLUM POLL: What’s more of a sport? Pole dancing or poker?
