Sports Illustrated cover too provacative?

[MeanJoePhaser]

You people don't get it. Her butt is up there where the letters "US" are.

It's all very deliberate and disgusting.

But, no, really...this is/was news? Did we get tired of dead Haitians already?

HEY, IT'S A POSSIBLY EXPLOITED WHITE GIRL!

At the risk of sounding like The Miz, really ? Really ? Really ?

 

[RJDiogenes]

I honestly wonder why they bother calling it the "Swimsuit Issue" anymore when half the models are nudes covered in airbrushed artwork, and another quarter are wearing bikini bottoms and strategically placed hands?

Because the Sports Illustrated "Stark Raving Naked Babes Issue" probably wouldn't play in Peoria.

She appears to be wearing the same thing she'll wear to compete; her pose appears to be the same one she'll take when she heads downhill in competition (except that she'll be looking straight ahead and she'll be focused on what she's doing); the only skin that is showing is on her face.

Obviously, some people just need something to bitch about.

You might be onto something. Notice how the word "lust" is conveniently framed behind her ass in the air! OMG, boycott Sports Illustrated now!!!!

My copy of the swimsuit edition showed up yesterday. That's more provocative than ski chick.

 

[Hermiod]

^It's supposed to be, isn't it ?

 

[RogerWaters]

Can't wait to pick up my copy of the swimsuit issue. The skier issue? That one I'll skip.

I can't believe that people still care about this sort of thing in 2010. I thought we'd stopped going "ewww, bare skin" back in the 80s. Then again, ABC nearly got turned into a parking lot back in 2001 because they showed a lingerie fashion show, and CBS affiliates will be paying out over the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction until the end of time, so what do I know.

Basically, it shows that America is a nation of prudes.

 

[cardinal biggles]

Sadly, yes. Makes me wish the British had told the Puritans to go to South America.

 

[barnaclelapse]

I'm not in any way turned on. Is that the problem?

 

[Hermiod]

Sadly, yes. Makes me wish the British had told the Puritans to go to South America.

Not saying we're much better - not given the formal complaints about the whole Holly Willoughby low cut dress incident.

 

[RJDiogenes]

No, we're not a nation of prudes-- otherwise the SI Swimsuit Issue wouldn't sell so well. It's just that the prudes are loud and obnoxious and have nothing better to do than ruin other people's fun.

True, but it seems odd that these "prudes" put their focus on this not at all interesting SI issue and not on the Swimsuit Issue or the countless women's magazines out there.

 

[Avalon]

You know what offends me about this?





That there's no version of the SI Swimsuit Edition that features guys (almost) wearing swimsuits. It's just not fair, I tell ya...

 

[RogerWaters]

And the SI Jinx lives on. Von may not ski at the Olympics due to a badly bruised right shin. Sometimes it does not pay to get the cover. Or uncover on the swimsuit issue.

Guess what? The "ski chick" is in the swimsuit issue.

If you thought her SI cover was too provocative, then this is gonna melt your eyeballs.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Now that's more like it.

 

[RogerWaters]

That's what I'm looking for! Nice!
