Deadspin
It's true: One man's sexy is another man's nightmare fuel. Mostly though, aren't these swimsuits just impractical? Aerodynamic they ain't. However, if you're swimming in the ocean I suppose the front there could be used to collect baby smelt and other small bait fish. China never fails to confuse me.
I'm pretty sure that these aren't what they'll be using in the Beijing Olympics; the actual suits will look more like this, no doubt. These were from Beijing's swimwear fashion show on Thursday, which is all part of China's push to make Beijing one of the big players in the world fashion industry. Can China achieve world swimwear dominance, and oppress Tibet at the same time? That would be quite a feat.

Man... China is so next.
There will be no problem getting NBA players over there.

No, no.
Paging Rice Girl...
awwww I rike to rook at rittle swimmer in rittle bathing suirt.
Anything that emphasizes a women's protuding pelvic bone is not attractive.
Those are the suits of choice when drowning female newborns.
Nope to both thanks.
Red beens and rice did miss her.
The suit barely covers her sideways vagina.

Since Will posted the Sports Guy's conversation page, Deadspin has become a ghost town.
In the photo with the actual olympic swim suites they all look the same. If the Chinese men and women all have the same hair cut how can we tell them apart?
Is this a fashion show or a Sally Struthers commercial?
Those are some birthing hip-bones right there.
@TheNorvFace: What if it's yer ####?
My guess is that her version of "The Great Leap Forward" involves putting her finger down her throat.
Well, now I've seen two of the Three Gorges.
@BloggyMcBlogBlog: Nibbles is on a rampage as well.
Of course they're not aerodynamic. How else could they adequately cover their sideways vaginas?
@Weed Against Speed: grumble
It's a Mao-Tse Thong.
I can't remember the last time I was worried about whether or not my suit was aerodynamic. Hydrodynamic on the other hand...

Only China (and Japan, probably) could get Deadspin to use the nightmare fuel tag on a woman in a swimsuit.
"Ha ha ha, China must swim!"
Totally out in Chinese fashion: clevage.
In: wedgies.
She has her butt fabric on her headz.
Is it the "Year of the Skeleton" again already?
@The White Boom Boom: Have you seen the Rutgers swim team photo?
If you marched one chinese person per second into the Ocean wearing that swimsuit....
I dunno, these two-pieces are cute.

But this looks like something out of La Blue Girl.

The Chinese swimmers with larger breasts are gonna have prob... wait... nevermind
This is actually a photo from a political reeducation camp.
what's next? two girls one cup..oh wait.
@BloggyMcBlogBlog: Apparently Nibbles found the GAwker IT PCP stash amd has gone bugfuck crazy this afternoon.
Ass so slim you can't see it from the back!

My penis laments the downfall of the Schwing Dynasty.
Roman Polanski would like to know who she is.
Chinese Olympic swimsuit's: designed by Gawker Artists
apparently the chinese idolize nicole ritchie
@The Smoot-Holey Tryst: Age-wise perhaps, but body-wise, even Polanski would throw it back.
@mooses_mixup: more like one girl, two A-cups
Wow I can't believe I made it 3 whole hours before TWWL finally pulled the plug on my conversation account. You stay classy WWL!
I didn't think a country would make a policy of having swimsuits with butt floss look unattractive.

Me? Not so horny.
Are freakishly long arms considered to be more attractive than a freakishly large rack in China?
Instead of a gold medal, first place finishers will now receive an adequate meal.
I'd hit it.
@7-8 Deville: This is the same culture who thought that tiny, malformed feet were sexy, so...
She looks like someone who could have been in one of those Asian Wave Escorts commercials during the late night Robyn Byrd shows on local access. So in other words, yes.
/lowers standards
I'm reserving judgment until I see someone try a triple lindy in one of these.
@SonofSpurrier: Judging by the lack of meat on her bones, you'd probably break it.
I would love to hear Michael Kors' and Nina Garcia's opinions on this gal's bathing costume.
I would not, could not in her box.
@Clare: Too much tootie.
