That's the traditional concept of a mermaid. It varies from culture to culture but generally they are said to cause sailors to die, either by mistake or intentionally. They're also omens of tragedy since (at least where I grew up) they are said to know that a ship is going to go down before it does and they are there to see it and either save or attack victims or collect their stuff.

I can't find video of the Swedish wrestler who threw his bronze medal down. Anyone got a link?
(Edit: Just watched it over on the Drudge Report, but it didn't show him confronting the judges)

A mermaid is a creature that's half woman and half fish. Homoeroticism deals with two people of the same sex. The game is about a guy being seduced by mermaids.
Not only are the mermaids and the guy not of the same sex, about half of the relationship is not even within same species.

It could be called a little homoerotic if you were caught up on the voice sounds. They should have used a woman.

Can't say for sure, but I believe that many of the athletes on the US Olympic team are currently enrolled in college or are going to be going to college. Michael Phelps went to University of Michigan and study sports marketing and management. I was just watching Women's Sabre and the three women on the team were all in college. I know they mentioned that many of the gymnast's (men and women) on the US team are in college.
