Indie Band Gets Olympic Sailors in Trouble

We seldom get to utter the names of any remotely interesting rock musicians in reference to the Olympic Games -- what with those pesky drug testing rules and requirements that participants remain vertical, there's not much chance for pop participation. But thanks to a pair of sailors representing Great Britain in Beijing, the Kooks will live in infamy alongside Tonya Harding in the official record books.

Ben Rhodes and Stevie Morrison thought it would be a swell idea to christen their vessel after one of the band's more jocular tunes -- that being 'Jackie Big Tits' -- but officials at the Games had other thoughts, demanding that the duo reconsider or lose their shot at the gold. Rhodes and Morrison opted to acquiesce, which apparently threw them off their game, seeing as they're slogging along in ninth place at the moment. If only they'd tabbed Kelis' 'Milkshake' instead, the pair might be in the land of milk and honey as we speak.
