Any excuse to run a photo of a hot female athlete, I suppose.

I will use this thread as an excuse to post a photo of the magnificent Serena Williams.

Some Twitter commenters thought it was another disgrace to an Australian swim team that's recently dealt with a gun controversy.

For the record the gun 'controversy' was two swimmers who were in America taking a photo of themselves holding twI guns. And they posted it to Facebook. Why it's a controversy I don't know. One of the swimmers had been kicked off the 2008 team for assaulting a fellow swimmer but he'd been punished for that.

Well, that's just fantastic. If you're a woman, it doesn't matter how famous you are or where you live, people still try to police your body. Hooray.
