Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue

How great is this? Models wearing bikinis has absolutey NOTHING to do with sports. Zero. And yet, they somehow get away w/ this every year.

I've gotta believe that the 1st meeting they had internally where someone suggested this, everyone just cracked up and said stuff like "yeah, can you imagine?"
 
Makes for a great way to sell magazines when there is little to write about otherwise. And the reward was instantanious as this issue outsells all others every year. Thought it was a nice bit of flair to coax the publicity shy Barbie in to it this year.
 
Haha, pretty true. I heard the impetus was the slow season between football ending and baseball beginning and what should they cover. Like you said can you imagine being the guy (I'm assuming it was a guy) who raises his hand in the meeting and said 'chicks in a bikini'?
 
I love the swimsuit issue, at least I did as a teenager before the internet when it was often the closest thing to porn I could get my hands on.
 
It was the fact she needs to eat.

I do not believe she objectifies the women, there may be those that look at her photos that do, but she loves photographing beauty women and capturing their beauty. I didn't not criticize her because, yes, I know her personally and I know how much she loves women and I know her art.
 
I always get a little lost on the "objectifying women" argument. There ARE things that happen in America that objectify women, but the swimsuit issue is pretty innocuous as far as that goes.

I was, as we say over here, taking the piss. I don't have any problems with it at all. I bet if some of those pictures were on here though, Darla, Dantes or some other cretin would kick off about it.

I beg your pardon! Why nude indoor mixed doubles body surfing is the most popular sport in the country!!
