• 167. FFS people, get that oversized stick out of your buttocks. It's intended to be humorous, not to scar her for life..or make her cry. And let me get this straight..it's ok to make fun of someone unless they are in the olympics? WTF kind of twisted reality is that?! Hypocrits.

• 168. Dear TMZ: By comparing Shawn Johnson to a rat,you blew it big time. First off, 'Topo' is the Italian word for mouse, not rat. And 'Topo Gigio' was a cute little mouse puppet, featured on the long ago Ed Sullivan TV show. Far less flak would be flying in your direction had you posted a pic of Shawn alongside one of Topo Gigio. Both Topo and Shawn are lovable and cute. Although, let's face it, unlike Topo, whose rodent puppet talent was minimal, Shawn is a powerhouse performer, a fine athlete. S

• 169. I love Shawn Johnson and I think she's awesome... but come on, it's a freakin' joke! Some of you people are absolutely nuts. I love the people commenting HERE saying TMZ lost a reader when they posted that picture and yet here you are... the next day... posting comments on TMZ. Shawn Johnson is adorable and the rat is really cute... it's like comparing someone to a teddy bear. Get over it!!!!

• 174. Please people it was funny and not malicious. She does look like Topo Gigo. It's ok to make fun of Britney but not an Olympic athelete? It's not right to make fun of anyone. So all you hypocrites should shut your mouths. If you don't like the content on TMZ, don't view it. TMZ I thought that was so funny, you should do a whole series on Animal/Actors. Sara Jessica Parker & Mr Ed, etc..........

• 177. While i find the comparison rather hilarious, i did find it in bad taste only for the reason that this person isnt a celebrity or famous athelete, but an olympian. there is a major difference. with that said, i laughed my ass off but felt bad for her. for all you f*cktards saying its ok to talk about miley, youre a f*cking moron, go eff yourself. how f'ing moronic an argument is that? all you people that say youll never watch or read again, i love how yo continue to post. suck me, douche.

• 178. They represent our country proudly and make you look good even though you guys don't deserve it. Even though Olympians are public figures, it does not mean they are fair game. Take it down. Harvey and TMZ your savage like exploiting of public figures has gone too far. This is absolutely outragous! You people are like diarrhea on a hot summer day. Meaning you are the last thing people want to have to deal with but we got not control over it. We can't just say "stop it burns" cause diarrhea won't listen. When you guys harass someone else remember you are like diarrhea on a mission.

• 179. You lost me as a reader! Looks like I'm not the only one. And good for everyone who has standards.. You appear to be that jealous kid that wishes they could be like her but instead poke fun of her-as though we cannot see through it!!! It's sad that you had no other material to post. Must be losing your touch. Oh and btw... Don't be jealous b/c you're old and washed up!!!! Maybe someone out there still thinks your wrinkly balls are still desirable- Highly DOUBTFUL!!! Good luck in your future b/c you need it!!

• 180. It is in no way shape or form adorable or funny to compare anyone of such great oustanding persons such as Shawn Johnson to a rat. And that goes for any other Olympian out there,whether they are American or not. They have more respect from the world than anyone who is associated with TMZ. You guys better not say anything else about this girl or any other Olympian. You guys better not say anything about there features or put them down. Making fun of them is like making fun of us Americans and those all over the world who are proud of them. We have tolerated your conceited notions for way to long. It is time this all stops. You guys are nothing but a distraction from what is happening in the real world and what is truly imporant. You guys are ferocious rats!
