Grueling Guinea Pig Games of the 2009 Olympics

Someone … clearly had too much time on their hands. Sick of the mainstream media only covering the most popular sports? Take a look at these guinea pigs performing in their very own and very special olympics.

The cute critters are digitally manipulated by
Steve Bicknell of Icarus Arts Publishing. You can buy the 2009 Calendar featuring the guinea pigs at Maverick Arts Club.

Life in the Fast Lanes has a funny account of the guinea pigs:

The Guinea Pig Games (GPG) Olympics have started with an amazing opening as rascally rodents display their dedication to their chosen sports. In the struggle for survival, only the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals with their stamina, prowess, and incredible feats to win gold, silver, and bronze medals.

What sucked about it is that it’s just the same pictures of the guinea pigs, just stretched or turned. It’s not great photoshoppery.
