        "Canadian Ann Shaw said: When partners are tossed around there will
        be instances when photographers get unfortunate shots."
        \_ every shot of an ice skating match is unfortunate.  -tom
           \_ There's more to life than "ride bike!" and "use linux!"
                \_ gee, I wouldn't have guessed.  -tom
                   \_ you didn't have to say that.
        \_ Could this have to do something with Winter games being held in Utah?
           \_ No.
        \_ yay, it'll be a fun olympics. leave it to america again to
           hold a lame or screwed up olympic games.
           \_ 1984 Olympics were one of the best ever. Even without the
              Communists. --dim
                \_ OK, as of late then.
           \_ Hmmm... so some random beer swiller from over the border says
              you won't get peekaboo shots up the skater's skirts (which show
              nothing anyway) and that ruins the Olympics?  Go download some
              net porn and get over it.  Fucking geeks....
              \_ if it were anyone other a random beer swiller ...
              \_ that itself doesn't ruin it, rather americans imposing
                 all sorts of useless rules.
                 \_ Who said Americans imposed any of these rules?  It's an
                    International Committee that runs the Olympics.  Stupid.
                    When did you get your membership card to the Hate America
                    First Association?
                        \_ I just don't think it's a coincidence that
                           this rule was set up the year the olympics
                           are being held in america.
                           \_ So this is the Utah Olympics Puritan Conspiracy?
                              Have you posted to alt.conspiracy.olympics yet?
                              I'm sure they can't wait to hear about this and
                              all the other forms of brutal oppression you've
                              discovered perpetrated by the VRWC.  Truly, you
                              are a patriot and a protector of our freedoms
                              and all we cherish!  Let's ban Americans from
                              the Olympics.  Can't trust em to show all the
                              crotch shots we expect to see in figure skating.
        \_ "Nick Russell, director of the National Ice Skating Association,
           said...," call me a bitter dour naysayer, but I can't help but
           point out that there is no "National Ice Skating Association" in
           the U.S.  The governing body for figure skating in the U.S. is the
           USFSA, United States Figure Skating Association.  The governing
           body for the sport internationally is the ISU, International
           Skating Union.  NISA appears to be the governing body for the sport
           in Britain.  If the decision was made by anyone, it would probably
           be the ISU. -dans, who has good reason to know about this
