Yahoo! Asks: What’s that black stuff?

True to their hard hitting journalistic nature Yahoo! asks, “What’s that black tape on Olympic Beach Volleyball star Kerri Walsh's shoulder?” Rumors for the black tape range from the need to hide a non-Nike sponsor tattoo to medical purposes. Fortunately Yahoo! was able to get to the bottom of this mystery. This reporter would mention the answer here but has already forgotten the true reason. However, it most likely is to cover up a tattoo of Hot Rod Lincoln.

But that does bring up another Olympic Beach Volleyball mystery. What’s that going through President Bush’s mind, or other places for that matter? Granted, very few men would turn down the opportunity to meet the Women’s Beach Volleyball team. They’ve been capturing the hearts and minds of America for years. But in the interest of seeming more Presidential and less creepy-old-guy-at-the-bar, the President maybe should have considered a less hands-on approach of supporting our Olympians. At least the World gets some classic photos of the ordeal.


Meanwhile, fans of Mother Russia should be happy to note that their President-in-shadow was out trying to recreate the good old days. But at least this volleyballer did not get sand in her backside.
