NOOoooo!!!

This is terrible, one of lifes wonderful joys is being taken away from us. Australia has joined the list of countries which have banned sexy, midriff-baring cheerleader uniforms. From Si.com:

Australian cheerleaders have been banned from baring midriffs by officials of the sport who fear displays of skin may encourage eating disorders.

Gymnastics Australia has ordered cheerleading troupes to find new uniforms by the end of the year.

I think this is a complete load. Yes, eating disorders in teengers are something we should take seriously, they're sad and tragic things, the causes aren't easy to explain. Factors involved may include the advertising industry and low self-esteem from the likes of religious guilt or emotionally distant parents during childhood.

But not cheerleader uniforms! Watching beautiful, lithe schoolgirls shaking it in tiny uniforms is the very best part of American or Aussie rules football, in fact the only part I care about. Myself and millions, nay, billions of other men (and some women) take enromous pleasure from the cheerleader fantasy.

Happy freaking Easter, Gymnastics Australia.
