The bad news is that the Christian right thinks this is Nazi Germany where everything not kosher (pardon the pun) gets banned. The good news is that they're start to expose themselves as total nutjobs. Attacking the Olympics? What, too many scantily clad bodies? I think the backlash against the thumpers is about to begin.

1. Every day it just becomes more absurd...

Obviously...

...this is "retaliation" on the part of the BushBrownshirts for the Olympic committee criticizing der Fuerher's use of the Olympics logo in his shitty campaign ads.

2. Thong beach vollyball

I'm sure they're peeved that the audience can count the pubic hairs
of the athletes.... and the zooms in on the bums and clothing
adjustments on the soft-porn sports.

Lets get real.... fine tight bodies in skimpy outfits are softporn,
no matter what they're doing. Perhaps the NFL should have pants
with no bottoms on them, so inspired folks can watch some bare assed
muscle bulging out the pants.

This is just to the point of ludicrous. Either turn off the TV or
expect soft porn. That is what sells, and star-tits are the future.
