British Olympic Hopefuls Strip For Cash

Twelve British lady swimmers (normal and synchronized), divers and water-polo players skinny-dipped for a photo shoot "sponsored by the National Lottery and British Gas [which] is supporting more than 1,200 athletes for 2012, as well as contributing up to £2.2 billion to the Olympic venues." Seems as if the seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake.

Each girl had to be photographed individually because it would have been too chaotic to try to capture them all at once.

The Brits are no better than Spanish-soccer photoshoppers.
