Many people are scratching their heads, wondering why the US Olympic Swimming team is struggling in the pools of Mud Island. I think I may have found the answer: the team has been too busy dicking around attempting to make a ‘Call Me Maybe’ lip dub that will in fact go viral.

So they definitely succeeded at the latter. Almost 3m views in 4 days. The video may be blocked below so if it doesn’t play, click the link that says ‘Watch on YouTube’.

Spoiler alert: ladies there are some ripped hotties in speedos, and for you gentlemen, there is a borderline ginger, keen as mustard with the delivery of her dubbing. Enjoy.

Ya, while the Yanks are posting the above, Cameron vd Burgh is posting this.

I thought so. Now if the rest of our Olympians could go ahead and bring back some gold, silver or even bronze-plated medals, that would be great!

Peace in the Middle East… London
