The Locker Room: Do These Photos Of The 2012 Summer Olympians Suck?

The intersphere is all abuzz with shade, derision, and downright hatred for these “official” photos of our 2012 Olympians. And I agree. What in the K-Mart photography studio hell is this shit? Do you know how I know these aren’t cutting it? Because it looks like I took them! And I’ve been known to try and take pics of the sun!

Michael Phelps looks like a shirtless rapist ready to pounce. And don’t even get me started on the classless butcher paper hot gymnast Jonathan Horton has been forced to pose on. He deserves better! They all do! The photographer’s name is Joe Klamar, and I’m not the only bitch who feels this way.

And gurl, if you think this is bad – check the ladies. Yeesh.Some glamour shots 1988 shit.

Check out the shots and let me know if I’m wrong after the JUMP:

    This post made me laugh pretty hard and the pictures are really really really bad.

  • paul lukasiak

    they’re so bad, one has to assume that they are meant to be  “ironic” and post-post-modern or some kind of “artistic” or something.    but they just suck.

  • Tipptop36

    god they are rubbish

  • Flipsboy85

    Omg, Jon Horton’s L-sit picture is SO bad.  WTF with the ripped up paper?  I used to be a competitive gymnast and we fucking had better pictures than this in our local gym and this is the fucking olympics.  Come on!

  • Stevenjohn90

    These photos are horrid!

  • lefred

    These pictures really are terrible – you can’t see athlete penis in any of them.

  • Skeptical

    Oh my motherf*cking God are they serious? Are these ACTUALLY the photos? Who made these, SVA rejects?

    Let’s hope they meant to go some kind of post-post super ironic hipster route and that these are just a few of very, very many from the shoot.

    Annie L needs every paycheck she can get and you do this???

  • MrCellophane293

    Blech… some of these look bad. Guess you had to be a gymnast to get a good one. 

  • Mathew

    some of the worst photos I’ve ever seen. 

    might as well have used instragram selfies 

  • Jjh2456

    Lord have mercy. Why? These are wretched.

  • Guy

    ^gets it

  • Jeremy S

    Where’s that cute little wrestler Henry Cejudo, who won gold in the last games? 

  • JoeSmoe

    yes, this isn’t the internet being a drama queen. these are embarrassingly bad, but actually not anything I wouldn’t expect from Getty Images. 

  • http://www.MaleEroticDungeon.com/ Michael!

    THIS is how these hard working highly trained athletes are being presented?
    T R A G I C ! !
    I wonder if they are more embarrassed by the set used for them or the pathetic end result?

  • Ryan

    I’ve seen better pictures taken at the DMV. 

  • Peoria4d

    Kristian Ipsen looks pretty hot though!

  • Steve

    Yep they are really bad!!!!!!

  • Ric

    those photos are just gawd-awful

  • apothos

    hell let a ‘gay’ photographer re-take them………looks like a novice did these

  • Johnnie10

    these look like the rejects that usually get deleted

  • Christianggs

    I take better pictures when I’m drunk. I should get the job.

  • Harlequindisplay

    dreadful picture…..looks like they couldn’t open a paper bag
