I Wish Everything Was Ladies Volleyball

The greatest thing that this country has exported since Rock And Roll is without a doubt WOMEN'S BEACH VOLLEYBALL! It has it all. Skill, competition, grace, majesty and girls hugging each other in their underwear in the sand! Who else could have come up with that? NOBODY BUT THE USA BABY! (Who's got Olympic USA fever? I do!)

In a few days the Olympics will end and we in America will get back to watching John McCain try and remember how many houses he has and in China the government will go back to removing vital organs from prisoners of conscience to sell on e-bay. But we will always remember that in 2008 the world turned it's gaze to The People Republic Of China for two weeks- not to pull together as one in the name of human rights and nosiness to put pressure on the bad people to be decent to the peoples people - but in order to watch girls in their bikinis play volleyball on the beach! ....Huh?

Here is what came out of my head after The Olympics and Bush and Putin and War and Peace and Victory and Defeat and Pop Music and Oppression and Volleyball went in.....

Oh yeah, and please go to my web site and buy my cd and you will like it and I will pay my rent and make more nice songs for you. Thanks.

I can't believe this is even being discussed here. What's next a tittilating piece on sex at the olympics? Oh, wait a minute.....

Womens' beach vollyball is just a skin show. They are almost naked. If you are talented, you don't need to entice people to watch you by dressing almost naked. The men have clothes on, so why not the women?!

[NorthernCross]

Um, maybe because women are better to look at than we are? Seriously, men don't have beautiful bodies.

[miriald]

Um, seriously? When men are fit and take care of their bodies like women do, they are absolutely gorgeous to look at. (See: men's swimming and diving.) Try to remember: the world is not made up of straight men and lesbians exclusively. Some of us prefer the beauty of the male form.

And I wish they all could be California Girls.

-I've just had the song in my head ever since I saw your title days ago, for some reason... But I'm glad for it. I love that song.

Perhaps you should have added a clip of them thanking the president and calling him their inspiration.... yeah, Wya.... an inspiration. PUHleez!

Girls in athletics are more likely to succeed than those not in athletics, less likely to have unwanted pregnancies, and more likely to become leaders in their communities. Buy your little girl a ball instead of a Bratz doll. That said, I'd like to see Dalhausser in a bikini -- wowzer!

LOVE IT!
An instant cl(ass)ic!

Keep on rockin' in the free world, Paul. While it's still free.

fake volleyball + debased pandering = boring as hell

I agree with the Hottie McHottenstein volleyball ladies, but still, I must say, I dooooooooo enjoy watching hot dudes, broad shoulders, breast strokes.... Oh, sorry, I'm drooling on my computer.

You should include a warning about Adult Content. I wasn't prepared for the shocking scenes near the end of your video. Surf's up. Funny stuff. ~RJ

I guess I was too blunt with my earlier comment or perhaps you only want to hear from people who agree with you but, in our house, I, my wife and our children, all current or former athletes gave a collective groan every time Roberto Costas announced yet another beach volleyball match.

Frankly, and maybe you have to be from somewhere other than California to see this, the game is nothing compared to other Olympic sports. The sand keeps the players from moving with any alacrity and takes away much of the excitement of rallies and saves that make real volleyball so terrific.

Lastly, if all you want to do is look at women in swimsuits, I would recommend the diving competition or a day at your local beach. The women's volleyball players lack the requisite contrast in hip, bust and waist that makes for optimum viewing.

I agree. Too much beach volleyball...must be a guy's decision to air this...not enough coverage of other sports. I do want to attend the next Olympics...Spirit at the games look great...TV coverage was average, Looking forward to the closing ceremony...I'm sure they will be something else!

[zerotimes10]

Yeah Buddy! American Women are the hottest women in the world and especially the vollyball women. Yum! Yum!

"Oh yeah, and please go to my web site and but my cd"


I guess you still had ladies volleyball on the brain when you typed this sentence! ;-) Thanks, Paul, for great post and CD; and I will encourage people to "but" and buy your CD.

[BillCarson]

Misty and Kerri for President! (and vp)

The swim suits are nice, I love 'em, but women's beach volleyball is a fun game to watch regardless.

That contrasts to men's beach volleyball where the game is uneven and the action too quick to really enjoy. And contrasts to swimming which is totally boring, it's amazing what they can hype people into watching.

absolutely fantastic!!!
