Despite no shortage of seriously stiff competition, Pita Nikolas Aufatofua of Tonga is being roundly hailed as the heartthrob of the Olympics. Nevertheless, that’s really no reason for Today Show host Al Roker to sic news anchor Hoda Kotb and (urk!) Jenna friggin’ Bush on the 32-year-old taekwondo fighter.

Both women take it upon themselves to languidly smooth baby lotion all over his pecs in a 51 second clip that seems to drag on for a cringe-inducing eternity as Aufatofua achieves otherworldly levels of glistening sheen. Only slightly terrifyingly, the girls subsequently wipe any residual lotion onto their own arms, perhaps hoping his vital essence will rub off on them/absorb into them.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Meanwhile, Aufatofua tries to be the perfect gentleman, flashing the most athletically awkward frozen smile this side of Jack Nicholson at the end of The Shining.
Watch all the awkwardness unfold here:
Comments about how jealous we are commencing in one… two…

Okay that’s enough! The current spate of false headlines is sinking Queerty to new depths of crassness — just let that idea sink in for a moment

So why are you here? You keep coming back….

Not that it’s this guy’s fault, but he has massive douchebag face. He’s probably a sweet guy, but he looks like the kind of guy that will fuck you doggy style while facing a mirror and then beat off later to how good he looked while doing you

It’s good when you can admit how envious you are.

I am both embarrassed and nauseated at the thought of Al Roker and Hoda Kodp smearing oil on another man’s body. Kill me now.
BriBri
They could have picked some better hags than these two!
Kangol
There are quite a few Olympians who deserve a good, slow, passionate oiling down. And Cariocas, for that matter. That city (and country) have some of the most attractive men on earth, and the Olympic athletes are only adding to the beauty mix.
Dave Downunder
He looks awkward and incredibly uncomfortable about being manhandled like that and like he would rather be anywhere else. If male journalists were to treat a female athlete like that and smear oil on them they would be hauled into court.

Double standards! So its ok to objectify men by touching his body inappropriately on TV! but when theres a remarks about women all hell break lose!

@Xzamilio: I’d do him.

@PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID:
This isn’t The New York Times.
Think of those tabloids at the check-outs at the market.
VampDC
They should air a public apology. That man is an athlete not a stripper. Not okay in ANY way.
Paco
@Stilinski26: Men have been dishing out the “objectifying” of women forever. I think they can take some back in return. And never underestimate the male ego.
Stilinski26
@Paco: Like @VampDC said He is an athlete representing his country! not a stripper. Its disrespecting not only him but also his country. May be these women should hire strippers to please themselves

Jenna Bush is hilarious. She has a great sense of humor, much like her father.
As for the idea of admiring men’s bodies, I think we’ve gone backward. In ancient Greece, the athletes were all men and they performed in the nude in some of the sports. They were more open-minded back then on the issue of male nudity.
Brian
If a female athelte had been touched like this, people would be laughing just the same so long as it was consented to. Normal people laugh at jokes like this. It’s only the perpetually outraged who get upset over it.
MinnesotaNotNice
Gimme a break! If this guy didn’t want all this attention and hands on touching, he would’ve made it clear and this would have never happened. He’s just as much to blame for all of the fawning and press coverage because he’s a media whore looking for his 15 minutes of superficial fame.
Xzamilio
@Brian: No, they wouldn’t… don’t even tell that lie. The blogosphere would be losing their shit if this were a woman being rubbed and touched like him.
Ukin Blome
@Xzamilio: Yeah so? What’s wrong with that? If you look good, y o u l o o k g o o d!
