#1 First ever? Wow, this looks like a chance for some world-class humiliation and seething. Maybe even a small war. Definitely making popcorn for this.

#2 How are they going to play sports when that involves running, and when you run you can see the bottom of someone's feet, and showing the bottom of your feet is an insult?

May start out as a soccer, but with all those feet flying, it'll soon be free-for-all grenadeball.

Now that I think about it, maybe we should encourage this. We could suggest headresses made of red cloth and introduce bullfighting to the event.

#3 I'm placing my bet on the Saudis to take the gold in the ritual beheading competition.

#8 I'm waiting for the fatwa that forbids Muslims from participating in the Olympics because of the shorts-and-tank-top-clad women - which means that they *must* have Islamic games of their own (I thought fun was forbidden in Islam?). Although how they're going to have swimming events with the women in burkas, I haven't a clue . . .

Yea Doc, it's hard to run with an erection.

#10 Send 'em over. Let them play The Infidels. I want the pay per view rights.

#11 that is just hilarious.

Big Ed: coffee alert!

Oh and where is the outrage from the UN and Amnesty international at the trampling of women's rights?

i mean after all, if it was South Africa and Blacks were banned from competing, the WORLD would be boycotting them!
