Digress Olympic N Flick Day 7

PICK: CHINESE TRAMPOLINIST, DONG DONG

Yes, yes, the jokes write themselves.  Dong Dong stood tall.  Dong Dong pulled it off.  Dong Dong had an explosive routine.  Dong Dong had one eye on the judges.   But set aside the nudge-nudge, wink-wink, ‘Fifty Shades of Dong Dong’ entendres, and you’ll find a performance for the ages.  The man whose name could be confused for Big Ben striking two o’clock was perfection in the backyard discipline, scoring 62.990 and overcoming his not-nearly-as-hilarious compatriot, defending gold medallist Lu Chunlong.  The sad footnote to the story?  Due to injury, there may be no Dong Dong coming to Rio in four years time. 
Oh, stop it, will you…

FLICK: OVER-REACTION TO NBC BROADCASTING WATER POLO BARE BOOB

We didn’t know Janet Jackson even played water polo…
Honestly, does America have to blow up every time a tit sneaks its way onto TV?  Given the Land of the Free’s prudish reputation, and water polo’s penchant for wardrobe malfunction, it’s amazing to us that NBC didn’t just stick to televising fencing.
