Sports Illustrated cover too provacative?

Re: Sports Illustrated cover too provocative?

It would be provocative if her suit were fake--I mean, painted on her bare skin.
 
On the 1992 cover the male skier wasn't bent over.

A.J. Kitt, from 1992:

Sorta looks "bent over" to me.
 
Well I would like to get her in that position to have sex with her. Is that what they meant?
 
Totally weird, started reading this thread and a commercial with this girl came on the TV a few seconds later, weird.
 
Anyone who has the time to make up some sort of offense in this cover has Not.Enough.To.Do.

For shame, SI, that you would show a skier of any gender in a position that is common in their sport - that's completely outrageous.
 
That fact that she's skiing down a slope near 45 degrees but her hair is defying all sorts of physics laws... does that count as provacative?

How did I get here? I was looking for a thread about Caprica.
 
I think that it was never meant to be anything but a standard photo, and indeed it is a standard photo, BUT I can see why some people would raise an eyebrow about it. For "Sports Illustrated" -- a men's magazine, for all intents and purposes, that does an annual swimsuit issue -- to feature any woman, no matter the sport, in such a physical position, could be viewed as... inappropriate?

IE, I think they used this picture to try and hype the issue, get people talking, and get it bought. Nothing actually sexual intended; other than some vague innuendo that gets word of mouth going.

You stick anyones ass in the air and bend them over, doesn't matter if that's a position for their sport, it has that vague connotation of innuendo and... boom. Hype, discussion, debate, higher sales.
 
There's nothing the least bit controversial here. I am disappointed. :(

now that's more like it.:techman: Come into a thread expecting to see some super hot and outrageous cover and it was a totally tame covered up skier.
 
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?
