At least now I have something to root for in the upcoming Vancouver Olympics. No, not the British bobsled team, but more wardrobe malfunctioning goodness. I could certainly get used to an Olympiad where female athletes literally can’t keep their clothes on. Nice work, Britain. Now if you just open some restaurants in London before noon, you’ll be on your way to becoming a real country again.

I didn’t realize from the original post that the star of this show, Gillian Cooke, actually competed for Scotland in pole vault and long jump before joining Nicola Minicheillo in the sled. I guess I we can see why Nicola made her sit in the back…–Tirico Suave.

This is a video of the British bobsled team getting ready for the Olympics in Switzerland, and all I can say is that I didn’t realize that those suits provided such easy access. Gillian Cooke gives herself a good stretch, and suddenly I feel the need to give myself a good tug, even though it seems a little early in the day for that. Whatever, it’s 5 o’clock in Zurich. Between this and the Venus Willams pic on Deadspin, it’s been a pretty good day for athletes’ wardrobe malfunctions. Not that anyone’s complaining…–Jonathan Sacks/Examiner.

UPDATE: Pics of Gillan with her teammate here. She’s…uh, really a fun girl.

The Lingerie Football League is barely a week into their season, but that didn’t stop an exhibition breaking out during the Chicago Bliss home opener. Ellie Cartabiano tries to execute the LFL’s version of the naked bootleg, but can’t seem to bust out into the open. Video’s after the jump, but if you’re looking for something extra to inspire five knuckles-worth of freedom, I have bad news. Unless you’re a really big fan of defense, and broads tackling each other in hockey pads. That does it for some people. Read the rest of this entry »

Italian swimmer Flavia Zoccari lived through veritable humiliation yesterday when she was disqualified from a race after the back of her swimsuit busted open. But while Zoccari was not allowed to compete, she did have an amazing ass that wouldn’t quit. From the Daily Mail, who always drive on the left side of the motorway, old chum:

Flavia, 22, was wearing the controversial £318 top-of-the-line Jaked J01 swimsuit when disaster struck at the Games in Pescara, Italy today.

She burst into tears as she was forced to stand down from her race.

That motorway comment reminded me of Punte’s Tips For Savory Living: if you own a GPS and are having a bad day, change the language settings on your machine from “US English” to “UK English.” You’ll instantly feel more sophisticated. And if you live in some big city and don’t drive regularly, then up yours. You deserve to be depressed.
