Brenda Brenda:
Pole Dancing is an amazing sport, when done classy. You need gymnastic skills, aerobic skills, strength...
All you need to do is take it out of the stripclubs, into the Summer Olympics

Bet you thought that was a joke, except at the end of the story it says they are actually hoping to do just that.
$1:
Mainstream acceptance of the practice has cited to support a recent bid for pole-dancing's recognition as an Olympic event.
Hey as long as its not anyone under 20 it might bump my Olympic viewership. Question is who would judge it? "Our first of 5 distinguished judges is Frank. Frank has a long history judging pole dancing in various clubs across the east coast since he was 17. Now 62 and 4 times divorced he's moved up from giving the ladies bills of vairous denominations to points on a scorecard."
Ah heck, whoever gets the most money stuffed in, well anywhere, gets the gold.
