The Scott Tournament of Hearts, Canada's curling championship for women will soon take place. I know this because in the run-up to the tournament, it appears that suddenly someone somewhere has written yet another article about the Nude Women of Curling Calendar, and hundreds of people are visiting this posting on EclectEcon and this posting on Curling, (where I co-blog with Alan Adamson) to look for the soft-core porn of curling. I'll grant that the few photos I have seen from the past calendars are superb art, but it never ceases to amaze (and disappoint) me that people are more interested in nudity than they are in our writings on other subjects.
