<p>Looks like someone has put "rigor" in a stretching machine !</p> -
<p>People are such fucking dicks</p>

<p>actually, scratch that, the only thing worse then the mouth breathers who complain about this shit (people have done that forever) is the media who beat this crap up by creating "articles" that are essentially lists of twitter posts made by the demented. </p>

<p>$20 just to watch the 7s? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's one of those, it's only $20 (which isn't even a pub meal in some [stupid] pubs now) but I'll likely only watch the 7s anyway.</p> -

<p>I hope there was outrage over his shorts too, they looked a bit shorter than the ones I wear in public, and only a little longer than her skirt.</p>

<p>yes, he's aided by being in a sport that has a shit load of medals on offer, but Michael Phelps is a fucking freak. Just won his 19th gold medal. That's nearly half as many as NZ has in total. </p>

<p>Snell and Walker might have had a few more if they'd also been able to run the 1200, 1300, 1400 and 1600 metres - as well as skipping and running backwards over the same distances.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Willis might have won a couple in the "1500 Holding your Cock".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Amazing feat by Phelps, but what it really tells me is there are too many swimming distances and disciplines.</p> -

<p>The article starts off with tweets bleating about her looking hot and then theres the inevitable backlash against the body shamers . This is news in 2016 apparently.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm outraged, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That she wasn't wearing this top too</p>

<p>Out of it how it looks like Hayley Holt and Rigor. I actually thought it was until I read the article as I was wondering how he was doing the Bloack at the same time now it is 'Live'</p>
