Naked Ambition Drives Sharapova : Even the sight of a naked man cartwheeling across the Centre Court grass did not distract Maria Sharapova during her Wimbledon quarter-final yesterday. While Sharapova, a player renowned for her mental strength, largely ignored the streaker, Dementieva allowed herself a good look and also a small smile.

Lacking a lot of stregnth in her game? Tell that to Dementieva, or to Serena Williams who Sharapova beat to win this tournament 2 years ago. She gets a lot of extra attention and endorsements because she is very pretty, but she is a serious player and may well win again.

I don't understand why one of them didn't serve a ball or two into that guys' ass. I mean, we're all upset when someone interrupts a sporting event for a frivolous reason. Aren't we?

I'm gratified to know that the very least, he was wearing appropriate shoes for the occasion. But black socks? Tsk tsk.

Well. For his sake, I hope this image was Photoshopped (or else he is the new Ken doll featuring kung-fu grip.)

at least he didn't have the name of an online casino scribbled across his back.

No frontal? I am disappointed. That is not really a hairy back, commander cody. I used to date a guy....well, let's just say I know hairy backs and that, sir, is no hairy back. LOL I would give him a 5.75 for form tho.

Why is it never a really hot chickiepoo? Just ain't fair I tell you! You're just not paying attention. Hot chickiepoos desire attention and like hijinks as much as hairy dudes do (not that this guy is in all that bad shape, to be honest). There's one guy who streaks all over the place to the point where he's banned from every major event (not that that stops him, but that's another story), but aside from him, there's as much cheesecake as beefcake running around out there, erm, "not burning flags" at sporting events. Watch the Yahoo picture wires, trust me. They're out there.

I was at the Teton County Fair in Wyoming for the Demolition Derby where it is almost tradition now for a drunken college student(s) to streak. It's usually punished with a small fine and perhaps a written or public apology to everyone offended. Last year the local sheriffs tased his ass. In Jackson's finest's defense he was carrying a fire-extinguisher in a "threatening manner". Not sure if it was funnier to see another ugly dude streaking or watching said same drunk writhing in the mud with piss running down his legs. The only thing offensive was the catcalls from the crowd.

And they think Metafilter is a boyzone. Very appropriate nick SummersEve. I have got to stop following unexplained links.

Upon closer examination steelergirl I can see you are indeed correct. In my defense I haven't had much experience being around naked hairy men since basic training (30+ years ago). The group showers alone gave me hair nightmares for years. (shudder)

Big fan of the Yahoo pictures wire after this gem. I'm a big fan of yahoo pics myself and have yahoo as my home page. I saw this one the other day. When my wife saw it she couldn't figure out why it was one of the most emailed pics. When I pointed out to her why I thought it was she called me a pervert. Gotta love that! Anyway thanks for reminding me to take my morning blood pressure meds. Nice!

Commander Cody, I can understand your lack of interest in the unclothed male form. And don't forget to take your meds at the same time evryday for optimum benefits.

Sharapova, a player renowned for her mental strength You're kidding, right? The first time I saw anything that could be called "mental strength" from Sharapova was in the first round of this year's French Open, when she almost got her ticket punched by Mashona Washington. That was the first time I saw evidence that Sharapova could get behind in a match and shake it off enough to come back. Now, based on what she's doing at Wimbledon, that may be a lasting change...but if so, it's a recent one.

Why is it that whenever something major gets streaked, it's always some scrawny hairy back male? Why is it never a really hot chickiepoo? Just ain't fair I tell you!
