What is up with some of the Olympic commentaries?

Question

Recently Olympic commentators have been asking, and posting some really ridiculous questions. These questions range from what does so and so eat, how long do they sit on the toilet, do they wash their hands after going potty, do they wear undergarments, do they wear socks, do they f**t or belch, do their feet stink like normal people, etc.

( ^ _ ^ ) I'm like give it a rest already. They're human just like the rest of us. Psst. I heard Kobe likes to listen to "Cold Play" on his ipod. : )

Answer 1

They think the American public cares.

Answer 2

i understand your point but it was interesting to read that phelps eats 10,000 calories a day ....if i ate that much I would be bed-ridden fat.

Answer 3

Eating I can understand (I think every person on the planet knows that Phelps eats 12,000 calories a day), but what goes on in the toilet stays in the toilet.
