Michael Phelps Wins Record-Breaking Eight Gold Medals, but Has to Shave Arms to Do It

August 18, 2008

Michael Phelps shows off hot swimmer body

(Beijing, China) – It was a record-smashing week in Beijing for U.S. Men’s Swimming superstar Michael Phelps. When he secured his eighth gold medal on Sunday, he broke Mark Spitz’s 36-year-old record for gold medals in a single Olympics. The nation – perhaps the world – cheered Phelps on, and watched in a amazement at his historic accomplishment.

But this story has an ugly side that the mainstream media refuses to report.

Yes, Michael Phelps won an amazing eight gold medals…but at what cost?

It seems that before Phelps jumped into the pool this week, in order to streamline his body in the water, he did the unthinkable: he shaved his arms. Though it will require further video evidence to confirm, he may have even shaved his armpits. That is not an appropriate use of a razor blade. Just ask Carlos Zambrano.

Even if he does the smart thing and melts down his eight gold medals, and forms them into one gigantic super medal, it still hardly seems worth it.

Though he has the body of a Greek – well, Olympic – God, his manliness is forever tainted by the fact that his skin is as hairless as a tiny baby. One that had also shaved its arms.

Sure, he could probably get any woman he wants now, and could probably beat me up with his left pinky. But any self-respecting man knows that the only acceptable place to shave is the face, and maybe the coinpurse for a special occasion. Though if you shave that area, beware of Jim Edmonds’ grabby hands.

So while the media paints Michael Phelps as an American hero, we are willing to report the truth. What he did was impressive. But you, sir, Michael Phelps, may keep your eight gold medals, millions of dollars, and scores of hot chicks. I will keep my arm hair.

    You call yourself “manly’? This is petty, catty insignificance. Athletes have been shaving forever, heads, arms, legs, whatever. This criticism reminds me of the ‘music doping’ article I read (Michael listening to music before an event was the cause of very temporary increaded oxygen). Ridiculous negativity. “Forever tainted”?? In your small mind perhaps. This young man has shown our country and the world something so positive and true, something that we desperately need. Please, get real and enjoy Michael’s victory with the rrest of us.

    As soon as I saw “PhelpsFan,” I knew your post would be complimentary…

    It’s a joke, PhelpsFan. The joke is on the “writer.” He’s supposed to sound like an idiot. And now you’ve made me explain the joke, and it has thus lost what little bit of funny-osity it had. For shame.

    Michael phelps has done the u.s.a. Proud ! And he looked good also. ! So get over it. ! I wish i could swim like him, even wish one of my boys could.

  6. Ace on September 1st, 2008 5:30 pm

    Ok. I’m over it. Thanks for the advice.

    But now I take back my previous comment. The joke is on Phelps and his girly smooth arms. My arms are way better – covered in hair, and pencil thin.
