I would imagine the whole Olympic format would change were there supers around....so I think comparing these to reality won't work here.
I mean, the high jump....one guy with super jump shatters that record without even trying.
Plus, the whole "defense" vs your competitors...a well placed ice slick could do wonders in a foot race.....lol.

nice edit by the way
I (maybe) refuse to change my entry until Christopher Robin chooses to use regular, easy to read standard white type. The field of orange when I see his posts kills my eyes x.x; I honestly skip anything he types because it's giant and orange and is a pain to read. It's nothing personal, other than his choice in colors. I'm making a stand! (maybe)
Yes, pieces that set out to change the entire Olympic format to give it a super-powered spin are perfectly acceptable. Its all in your set-up.
From the description FD gave me, I'm thinking his piece will be fine.
The difference is that he very clearly intended to bring male and female contestants together for his piece. The difference is the clear intent. When I look at Shia's piece, I don't see any clear intent to abide by the Hot Chicks rule. And I'm also clearly not the only one who saw it this way... because it was pointed out before me. There was nothing showing that this was a co-ed race (as will be clearly shown in FD's piece). You could just as easily say the foot in the pool is an oddly-shaped balloon as you could that it is female, based on the CONTEXT.
Heck, if there was a high heel on it, I would have taken it. That at least would have shown acknowledgement of the rule, and maybe even a little tongue-in-cheek way of showing his feelings for it!
I feel really awful about all this going back and forth arguing about Shia's piece. I hope he takes all the suggestions everyone has come up with as a sign of how much we want him to stay in. I love that tattoo suggestion, among others. Goes to show you guys can come up with ways of using the rule to your advantage to come up with something interesting and creative.
Also, Shia can always pop in to plead his case if he feels he's been really wronged here. Or PM me. Whichever =)
EDIT: You darn people have to stop posting while I'm typing and making some of my comments irrelevant!

PM'd asking for more info on the piece. Or a small version of the piece would do too. Not fair to judge it on limited information and all.
