In the previous post on Boggart Blog fatsally introduced the idea that as hosts of the 2012 Olympic games we are allowed to stage a “demonstration sport.” My little sis suggests we should put on binge drinking but I fear the competition from Germany, Russia, Australia, Romania, Sweden (quiet drinkers but ruthlessly effective) might lead to our being embarrassed.
I therefore suggest that we turn for inspiration to Nigel Kneale’s eerily prophetic TV drama The Year of the Sex Olympics, first screened in 1968 which depicts a future in which a moronic lower class, the lowdrives, who are content to slob out in front of TV watching sex competitions in categories such as “Artsex” and “Sportsex.”
Read about The Year Of The Sex Olympics at BBC cinema.
So the most of the preliminary work is already done. We have a ready made sportsex team manager in Formula 1 chief Max Moseley, better known for his liking for Nazi style sex romps with up to five prostitutes, innumerable Premiership footballers with a penchant for roasting, Lynford Christie with his famous lunchbox. Stan Collymore’s penchant for voyeurism, a case of a Rugby player who I will not name and an underage girl, an ice skater who appeared in porn films and many more.
Without a doubt then The Sex Olympics has to be the sport we introduce to the Olympic pageant in 2012.
