You're right. A friend just commented to me about womens tennis while we were walking around town, and she caught a few seconds of it on a bar projection screen. Apparently before one of the players served, they spent time panning up and down her body; something they'd never do in men's tennis.
We both decided eventually that either they should stop doing this to women in particular, or do it to men too. We'd like to see it. Yes objectification is wrong and whine whine whine, but its apparently something that people need to some extent. Humans are social, and we like to stare at people from the comfort of our own homes and bars and whatnot, so look at Myspace and Facebook and the like. I guess perhaps the major crime here is that its so one sided-- it's not as if women don't objectify men in some way either, or men with other men and women with other women and the whole slew of gender combinations and etc.
Anyway, awesome post. Thanks for being creative. :)
