Australian Olympic swimmers in hot water after gun photo

[SuperiorDG]

(CNN) -- Two Australian Olympic swimmers who posted pictures on Facebook of themselves brandishing weapons have been ordered to take them down by the country's swimming authorities.
The image, taken in a gun shop in Santa Clara, California, showed Nick D'Arcy with two pistols standing next to Kenrick Monk who is holding two shotguns across his chest, according to a Friday report in Australia's Herald Sun (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/ipad/australian-olympic-swimmers-nick-darcy-and-kenrick-monk-pose-with-guns-in-facebook-photo/story-fn6bfkm6-1226388133190). The swimmers were training in the U.S. ahead of the Olympic Games in London later this year.
Swimming Australia said in a statement that it does not condone "the posting of inappropriate content on Facebook, Twitter or any social media platform."


What a bunch of crap.[Rant1]

Olympic chiefs slammed the swimmers for their stupidity less than two months out from the London Games.

Gun Control Australia spokesman John Crook said it was a new low for the pair.

"If ever there was a photo of two kids playing macho boys this is it," he said.

Mr Crook said Monk was holding the same pump-action shot guns used by Martin Bryant, who murdered 35 people in Port Arthur in 1996.

D'Arcy was pictured holding semi-automatic pistols, similar to those used by Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung-Hui.

That's the stupidest statement that I have read this week. What do those incidents have to do with anything?

SPINmeisters extraordinaire

[Wiggity]

The amount of emotionless logic in that article is astounding

[lpgasman]

Well after all, they are high power weapons. I just hope they didn't get into a type of car that might of killed someone, while being driven by a drunk driver.

A car clearly cannot shoot people, it can only run them over. Therefore, this is acceptable.

Another fine post by JM ::placing on ignore list::.

This story is absurd, and the rationale behind that line of thinking is so childish, terrifying that it is coming from an adult really.

Im hoping my sarcasm meter is turned off.

I personally think that Australia is worse then California and NY and DC etc.
I truely feel bad for folks living there with almost no firearms freedoms. [Bang]

[Great-Kazoo]

The ozzi's feel it might stir emotional issues with it's citizenry as some folks have not come to terms with the mass shooting that occurred there approx 14 years ago.

The neutering of society has surpassed epidemic proportions. I suggest anyone of child bearing age make sure they have only girls. It seems growing up to be a man will be looked down upon as lepers.

The only good thing I got from it is that the people want to own guns but their government oppresses them

One man stands alone down under...

I'm glad someone saw the sarcasm in it... I hate that country anyway... No ozone layer protecting it. A deadly bug, frog, or snake around every corner. And don't get me started on those fucking kangaroos. (e-Cookie to anyone that can tell me what the last line is from..)

^ This. I thought they were allowed to carry rifles in the outback because of all the crazy shit that can kill you there. Is it just in the city that libs keep them down?

Another case of newbs mining old theads and adding no useful content. But hey, now everyone can get their knickers in a bunch about evil Australia again. [fail][facepalm]

No offense, but really? Just curious there pooky, when does the "noob" title wear off? Is there some gay test I have to take or is it a timeframe/post count thing? Do you not think that gun paranoia in Australia is pertainent given what Fuckstein and the rest of her lib ideologs are trying to do to this country? Sorry for digging it up, but it's not that old and not as far from home as most people think. Now post up some hot aussies per my request.

i would say it only comes around when one does noob stuff. i understand your thinking that fuckstick and her posse might try something like what they did in Australia now if there were some new info or something that you are adding that would be great but you basically added nothing to the tread you just brought back an old thread that was about olympic athletes holding a gun. if you have something useful add it, dont bump an old thread saying i agree, your hand will get collectively slapped by everyone annoyed at this stupid behavior.

I appreciate the idea of using the search if wanting to add new data to an old story. Otherwise let it stay dead. I believe it is allowed if you have hot pictures of babes, guns and maybe bacon.

WARNING . . . probably NSFW, and no direct photo embeds, but try this link --> www.wickedweasel.com

A company in Australia making "micro-bikinis" and lots of models to show them off.

Enjoy!

Not noted here, but there are also pics posted of these swimmers brandishing spoons which are similar to the spoons used to cause the obesity and death of thousands of Americans last year.
