I have searched for three hours now for a good picture of the US women's indoor volleyball team, and found not one. Mug shots of the twelve players, yes: a good picture of the
team, no. I am convinced that such does not exist. How about, instead, a coupl'a two three good photos of the
Japanese swimming team arriving at the Olympic village with . . . adrenaline and humility and modesty in the face of a world of competitors; not 'ho-bitch funky attitude that this retarded world just does not appreciate that this sport belongs to us, adrenaline in the Olympic village. Humility. Adrenaline.
