Those chicks can dance on my pole anyday.

...except the mormon one.

Next olympic sport: speed handjobs.

"Pole is here to stay".

If the Mormons get pole dancing into the Olympics I vote us fags get cock sucking in.

I've trained for years. I liken it to rock climbing.

It's sort of like watching the monkey cage.

Ladies and germs, welcome to the Ad Hominem Resort, where we're always willing to stoop to your level.

@6 That's what Dan does best.

One Mormon woman takes a pole dancing class? The Mormon church endorses stripping!

I know it's hard to believe, Dan, but all Mormons aren't evil. It's so easy to target entire social groups/religions/races.

Do the men who do it wear those calve-strengthening pumps too?

"Pole is here to stay." As a gay man, I hope so.

if it's a sport, then it's not a sin to go watch the strippers... er... "compete."

the Mormon church is all about whatever's good for the dudes in charge. gay marriage is bad because it both provides alternatives for all those men left in the cold when the fundamentalists hog all the women and it enables women to have entirely man-free marriages.

also i guess if LDS Mormons aren't allowed their alternative marriages, they don't want anyone else to be either.

I like how she slipped up and called the world the "ward" which is what the LDS refers to a congregation as.

the final nail in the coffin of olympic legitimacy. please let this happen, and please let each nation have a different pole-dancing uniform that all require stockings, garter belts, & platform heels. and thongs.

I think I'm going to explode.

Well, those do appear to be magic underpants.

I'd love to hear the play-by-play for this...

"and she's going for the triple-spin crotch rub, and...she NAILED it!"

"she sure did, Bob. What's next?"

"the next big move is the inverted bonermaker. Here it comes...YES! And the crowd goes wild!"

"LDS Housewife" is a serviceable band name. And the girl in the blue tank-top and light blue shorts seems equally serviceable, just in other ways.

Quite the legs on her.

you guys, it's pole FITNESS. and the shoes are just for strength-building. sheesh.

Sigh.

I'm a professional circus artist. This is essentially watered down Chinese pole.

Just because you do something that is physically demanding and requires practice doesn't mean it gets to be an Olympic sport.

Here's an example of one such. (She is the cousin of Jenny, an addict featured on "Intervention" not long ago, BTW, and who is mentioned in the blog.)

This combo of self-righteous Mormon "modesty" (which they're supposed to espouse) and pole dancing makes my head want to explode like a fembot's.

Pressure building...
Little time...
Must...prevent...head...explosi -KABOOM!!

When do the "tops" come off....WOOT!!!

If Doublemint Twins diving can be an Olympic sport, so can pole dancing.

Whoa, simmer down, Dan. Olympic pole dancing is a GREAT idea.

almost 300 signatures!

Dan, the petition is sponsored by LabFitness in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland, which is like 90% Roman Catholic. Just because a local news channel in Utah reports on a pole dancing class and mentions a petition in the same story doesn't mean the Mormons are behind it. I know you're trying to be snarky and funny, but it's a wee bit hypocritical to launch a tirade against Marlee whats-her-name, and then basically do the same thing.

And just because of your post, I signed their petition.

gay marriage, olympic pole dancing, polyamory...it's ALL good. bring it on.

No no no, they need to make LAP DANCING an Olympic sport.

what does this have to do with gay marriage?

Don't you mean lap fitness?
