Phelps and the olympics

[daofeishi]

We all know about Michael Phelps' astonishing Olympic achievements. With regards to that, I want to share a joke I got from one of my Chinese friends:

菲尔普斯夺的8金以后：

　　各国对游泳比赛蛙泳、仰泳、蝶泳、自由泳×100、200、400、1500导致金牌过多感

到非

　　常不满，纷纷要求增加自己优势项目的金牌数目。

　　

　　巴西提出：

　　足球应该分为3人、5人、7人、11人×沙滩、室内、草地。

　　

　　中国提出：

　　乒乓球应该分为直板、横板、直板双打、直板单打、直板横板混双。

　　

　　美国提出：

　　跳水应该分为1m 2m 3m 4m 5m 6m 7m 8m 9m 10m

　　

　　英国提出：

　　马术应该分成黑马马术、白马马术、红马马术、褐马马术、皇马马术、斑马马术。

　　

　　肯尼亚提出：

　　长跑应该分为10000米、11000米、12000米、13000米。。。

　　

　　日本提出：

　　所有男女混合项目应该增加3p、4p、5p、6p、7p。。。群p。。。500p。

　　

　　泰国提出：

　　除了男子和女子项目外，所有应该加上人妖组。

　　

　　唯独韩国在这方面没有要求，他们大声喊到：

　　菲尔普斯是韩国人

i'm probably looking into too much.. but is there any background to this joke i don't get? do the chinese say the koreans often claim chinese things as their own or something? (if so, then it is quite funny).

According to some Koreans, Confucius was Korean, Dr Sun Yat-sen was also korean.

Koreans will find the joke offensive. Take a look -> 'Michael Phelps Is Korean' and Other Old Wives’ Tales

This story was posted on Chinese portal site Dongbeiwang, or Northeast Web, on Tuesday. “According to the Chosun Ilbo, a history professor at Sungkyunkwan University Park Boon-gyung claimed that the U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps is of Korean descent,” the story starts. “Around 1,000 B.C., Koreans living in Jeju Island on the southern tip of Korea crossed the Pacific Ocean and settled in America. A large number of them moved to the east coast and settled in present-day Baltimore, Maryland. The Phelps are Maryland natives and therefore, there is a big possibility that the Phelps are of Korean lineage. Doesn’t that explain how a swimming genius came into being in inland Maryland? He has blood of Koreans who came to America by crossing the Pacific running in his veins.”

ha.. there's always some conspiracy behind it all. even if this history professor did say what he's claimed to have said.. it sounds like he was just having a bit of fun

[gougou]

I also liked this. It's a bit overdone towards the end, I think, but the water splashing bit in the beginning and the look on the guys face crack me up.

Martial arts too.

斑马马术

This cracked me up. Would be impressive if anyone managed that :-)

[xiaocai]

It seems that everyone is ignoring the Japanese one, intentionally, I suppose...?

[skylee]

Not intentionally. I just don't quite get what it means.

[Guoke]

The Japanese one is kinda funny too.

Japanese 变态 porn 经常 involves 超过 two 肉虫......

3p=threesome...4p=foursome... 5p=fivesome... 群p=crowdsome...

[skylee]

oh the 肉蟲 reference is very enlightening.

[forboa]

This joke is very popular recently,haha.

I have learned some new words from here, threesome, foursome, crowdsome:mrgreen:
