Olympic chicken streak

The Olympic men's curling competition was interrupted on Friday when a streaker, wearing nothing but a rubber chicken to protect his privates from the  chill, spent several minutes cavorting up and down the rink advertising a gambling website.

The husky semi-nudist was hustled out of the stadium by police into the cold mountain air where he implored amused onlookers to help him retrieve his clothing.

The United States went on to win against the British team 8 to 6, taking the Olympic bronze. As to why the "streaker" cheated by not baring it all, we can only presume he was (forgive us) - chicken.
