Ah, this takes me back to being a 13 year old Ian Thorpe fangirl back in 1999-2000. Less with the homophobia and bible bashing, but more with the vehemently denying he could EVER be gay and the terrible terrible self-insert Mary Sue fanfiction. And the cruel bashing of any woman who dares to be seen with him.

Of course, 8 years on I've actually met one of the girls he was photographed with, and she claimed she was a beard and it was the most uncomfortable night of her life. So now I can wholeheartedly embrace the swimslash! Mmm, Eamon Sullivan...
