Real Man's Olympics

Wasn't Bruce Jenner's accomplishment, winning the Decathlon, far more impressive than the feats of Mark Spitz, who won several gold medals in swimming. 'Real Men' don't shave their legs.

Medal counts simply don't work. The medal for prancing around a floor mat is not equal to the medal for super heavyweight boxing. The medal for jumping into water while making the smallest splash is not equal to the medal for throwing a 16-pound ball farther than anyone else.

Real Man's Olympics determines the winning country the only way possible: by basing a country's score on the manliness of each event won. Judged events get marked down. Redundant events get marked down. Events requiring men to wear nothing but skin-tight underwear get marked down.
