Last week (Jesus, has it only been a week?), we caused a viral Internet dancestorm when a clip of sexy Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke and the admittedly sorta tasteless follow-up of animated GIFs and slow motion video started showing up everywhere. No, seriously, everywhere. Everyone from The Huffington Post to Daily Mail UK and Yahoo! copy-pasted the story and declared us perverts
Hey, at least we didn’t ask her to pose nude for us, then try to guilt her into it by saying we’d give money to her track team.
Jenneke was even reportedly asked by Sex.com to pose nude, but for a charity of course. According to a press release on XBIZ.com, the website offered Jenneke an offer to pose nude for a “sizable donation” to the Australian Sports Commission (ASC).
“She’s the right amount of cute and sexy, not to mention her body is clearly in peak condition,” Sex.com spokesperson Martin Ellison said. “Michelle Jenneke has shown a sex appeal that’s uncommon in female athletes and we want Michelle to know that she can use her sexuality to not only raise her profile but also benefit athletes all over her country.” (via IBTimes.com)
We also never once thought to put a fat Italian guy in women’s track and field clothes and have him parody Jenneke’s infectious enthusiasm and win (her win, I feel the need to emphasize) by flailing his arms around and “running like a girl” to disco music. Still, this happened:
So I guess what I’m getting at is this: I’m sorry, Michelle Jenneke, for sharing you with the Internet. In a better world, you’re still just a pretty teenager dressing up like Wonder Woman and having fun at track meets. Sex.com never made you any shifty offers, and With Leather got like 200 hits last week from a combination of wrestling jokes and Taiwanese Animation videos.
Also, that Italian guy never bought a video camera.

That pic in the Wonder Women costume just brought her to another level.
“Grrr…Hulk FAP!”
the worst part of the hulk guy is that he needs to cover up his bikini line, so he wears boxer shorts instead of just going out and finding some purple pants. Hulk doesn’t jump around in boxer shorts, goon.
Also, the banner pic of her wearing knee socks is nice.
Gawwwwdaaaaaamn gurl!
That is such a sad Hulk.
Who the fuck goes to the trouble of painting themselves green, but then completes the costume with a pair of seersucker shorts and running socks?
I’m more curious as to how small and scrawny that Dr. Banner is if that’s as big as Hulk got.
Hate on him all you want. That guy is a hell of a talent scout!
It’s more of a mix between Hulk and Tobias Funke
suck a dick lobster turd
Jonathan – you are delightful! Please stick around and let’s see if we can become commenting friends here on With Leather, okay?
I bet he plays a mean game of knifey-spoony
Man, we’re perverts for thinking the hot girl jumping around in a skimpy outfit is hot? I will not rest until Straight people’s rights are respected!
That video is absolute gold.
She’s not eating vegemite in that picture, for shame!
There’s a sex.com??
They have spokespeople??
I really want to be the spokesperson for homemoviestube.com
(scraps plans for scrawny, preppy superhero comic)
Don’t pretend you aren’t part of the problem. Half of the crap that uproxx traffics in is blatant misogyny.
BLATANT MISOGYNY!
Just thought I’d throw some capital letters in there to makes this point clearer. For the people in the balcony.
Somebody didn’t like the new commenting system at Jezebel.
Misogyny; hatred of women: a hatred of women, as a sexually defined group.
There is the definition for your use. 99% of the commenters LOVE this women you stupid fuck. Politically correct, controlling radicals ARE the problem. Don’t pretend you are not to one of these ideologues who have no perception other then their own narrow, frothing at the mouth dogma.
Wait, finding a woman who is in extremely good shape and loves her sport to be attractive means I secretly hate her? Let me guess, you were a liberal arts major in college.
Sure thing Alex17, just don’t pretend you’re only shitty because Alex16 was already taken.
Won’t somebody think of the women!?
What Moose said, and besides, it’s only 20ish percent for UPROXX as a whole. Women never could figure out math.
Guy should shave his head and get some red crisscross suspenders.
Not relevant, but did a little research on Jenneke, turns out she lives like 10 minutes away from me. I’ll be back in a little bit you guys.
I wonder what the record for new stalkers in a week is.
I think this wins on a percentage based growth. Pure numbers wise? Maybe not. The perverts are only here at WL
You can all be keyboard warriors behind a desk, but have a touch of my bicep and ill be sure knock you the fuck out.
+1
Can we resolve this by giving Brandon a public booting?
pfft, Hulk and Wonder Woman are from 2 different universes. What a stupid costume.

Man this is all causing major deja vu right now. I think I found out about With Leather thanks to the Allison Stokke coverage back in 07. I stopped reading once Matt left, followed by Punte taking over and ruining the site, but now your ideas once again are intriguing to me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter…
I’d still like more MMA and Soccer coverage from here though since those are the fastest rising sports in America (Football’s covered on KSK so I’m happy with that). Plus for a site that enjoys niche athletic events (see the WWE coverage), I’m bummed that With Leather didn’t spend more time commenting on American Ninja Warrior these last two months.
That’s because American Ninja Warrior sucks.
ANW is a little like if they had a superbowl but everyone got eliminated in the third quarter. It’s all hype no payoff.
Every year they hype up how good everyone is and then no one makes it to the last stage. Why? Because last year’s course was so impossible that this year we’ve made it worse! There’s some logic for ya. At least have someone finish your course before you make it tougher.
No way, its way more awesome of an event if no one can beat it. 3 people have done so in Japan, so when someone actually does it, its glorious. Whoever goes the farthest still gets a lot of love anyway.
I like the idea of a game show not having an actual guaranteed winner. Its not like Wipeout, it can be beat, its just a slow process to watch people figure it out.
Yea, I feel in love after seeing the video as well. Come on men of the world, don’t lie to the internet in that we all secretly wish to see her pose nude…….it’s ok to dream.
“Yea, I feel in love after seeing the video…”
Best typo ever.
good
This is why we can’t have nice things, Internet!
OK, private pictures of her in her kitchen are a little creepy.
