Speedo: Even With More Coverage There is Less Coverage

I love listening to people talk exhaustively about subjects that almost nobody cares about. That's why I love UniWatch, which brings you the "obsessive study of athletics aesthetics". Paul Lukas (who has a column on ESPN) and crew devote a lot of space to discuss all things dealing with athletic apparel. I thought I was obsessive about things, but this guy takes his hosiery very seriously.

I recently caught a UniWatch post on the new LZR Racer swimsuit from Speedo. All I can say is wow. Julie Chen is once again in for some serious cameltoe competition this summer. Amanda Beard, who ironically appears to be cleanly shaven, has thrown down the gauntlet. And what can you say about Michael Phelps? I know this guy could win like a million gold medals and it might be thanks to his new advanced suit, but is all that success worth it to have everybody know whatever you are smuggling?

Speedo has realized their problem in their advertising, but I wonder if the prudes watching the Olympics in this country will force NBC to put a parental advisory during the swimming competitions. It might just give beach volleyball a run for its money.
