ASYLUM - For all mankind

The Olympics are just around the corner, and some unseemly news outlets are using them as an excuse to dress up old-fashioned T&A in a flimsy frock of supposed sports coverage.

Exhibit A: American network NBCOlympics.com's feature on the hand signals of beach volleyball. Despite being titled "Cracking the Code," the article offers no actual information on the meanings of the various signals, instead featuring photo after zoomed-in photo of the shapely derrieres of the female volleyball players.

But it's not all NBC's fault. Part of the blame lies on the pervy photographers who sully professional sporting events with their lascivious photography in the first place.

And as occasional peddlers of gratuitous smut, we are at liberty to collect some of the most egregious examples in one gallery, without even attempting to relate it to anything newsworthy. Enjoy your openly peddled almost-porn.
