From the Land Of No Chewing Gum:
"The skimpy trunks sported by Singapore's men's water polo team at the Asian Games are causing red faces back home.... The trunks display the Singaporean flag's white crescent moon on the front of the red briefs in what has been described as an inappropriate fashion."
Yahoo News quoted only the text from the illustrated Reuters original and didn't link to it, either. Thousand words, anyone?
Meanwhile, no word on how well the team did in actual competition. Tsk.

Not the turks. The turks wear green suits.
ReplyDeleteMuch ado about nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhen I played water polio we often wore more than one suit because the other team would try to pull one off.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't want to stop in the middle of a sprint taking the ball up-pool.
Water polio? So. NOT. Playing. That.
ReplyDeleteMurghph. I got spell-dunked.
