Sports Illustrated cover too provacative?

[Professor Zoom]

I do wonder if there's a picture of a male skier bent over like that....

 

[RedShirt]

But it looks like she's wearing nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing at all...

Stupid sexy Flanders...


Personally I find this issue to be much ado about nothing. Some people just aren't happy unless they're complaining about something.

 

[LitmusDragon]

She looks a little like Peri Gilpin.

 

[TheSeeker]

Well, she has a big butt but I guess that goes with thunder thighs. Is that what you mean by provocative?

Ummmm. What?

There's nothing at all wrong with her butt or thighs.

+1

+2

There is nothing wrong with the way her legs or butt looks. She's an athlete and it looks good on her.

And anyone who finds that picture sexually suggestive needs some serious therapy.

 

[Nick Ryder]

I think we can all appreciate this...

 

[Jono]

^ Now she looks like a hunchback...a sexy, skiing hunchback.

 

[Sheep]

Anyone who thinks that cover is provocative needs a smack upside the head for being a complete moron. This isn't even up for discussion.

 

[The Evil Dead]

I've never been less offended by a magazine cover in my life.

 

[Admiral Shran]

What?! A woman on a magazine cover?! I'm offended!!

Frankly the last issue of Rolling Stone with John Mayer's nipples was 10x worse than this. Is she hot, yes. Is this provocative, not really. Sightly titalating but i've seen more sexism on "women's" magazines like Elle or Cosmo.

 

[Aragorn]

Controversy would've been if a fashion magazine put her on the cover, because then they'd airbrush a third of her away.

That's the thing - you'll have the same woman on the cover of a men's magazine and a women's magazine.

In the men's magazine photo she'll be made to look as beautiful and sexy as possible.

In the women's magazine photo she'll have arrows pointing at her wrinkles, sweat stains and cellulite and captions making cruel comments about her fashion sense.

Lousy, sexy Flanders...

I don't even know what supposed to be titillating about it.

She's a skier...in a skiing pose...

Actually, this is the exact same cover pose that was used for a male skier by SI back in 1992 or so, according to an article I read yesterday.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

On the 1992 cover the male skier wasn't bent over. I guess if you're especially horny you might find the pose provocative. Looks like she's smiling while she's bending and squatting to take a crap to me. Much ado about basically nothing.

 

[ladyheather69]

The horror, the horror!!!! A woman skier in a skiing pose on the cover of a SPORTS magazine!!

Geesh.

Btw--did anyone see the very back of the SI? There is a preview of the cover of the SI with a woman in an orange bikini. Um THAT is provacative. :P

 

[Sparky]

I find this highly offensive. Why is she not in a kitchen?

Nope, nothing wrong with the ad
