A Punctured Speedo Is No Good

Jessicah Schipper is the Australian world record holder in the butterfly, and she’s got a bone to pick with Speedo. During her trials this weekend for the smog-infested squat toilet Olympics of 2008, her LZR Racer speedsuit made by Speedo brand filled with water, slowing her time down considerably, but she still managed to win the race.

“We are conducting a thorough investigation but are confident this is not endemic to the LZR Racer suit,” said Rob Davies, general manager of Speedo Australia. “Obviously, we will be working closely with Jessicah on a resolution and providing all the assistance she needs.”

We bet bubbles came out of her butt when she smiled with glee after coming in first place. There’s nothing like imagery inspired by flatulence to end the day, ey fellers?
