Am I the only one who thinks it would be fun to try to slurp champaign from her belly button while simultaneously telling her dirty jokes?

Its funny theyre complaining these people are used as props, just what exactly do they think the models are.So why aren't the idiots at "Jezebel" upset when B. Hussein 0booboo uses our troops as props on one of his campaign photo ops?

Sometimes it's ok to use the local folks as props...

“Jezebel argues that the magazine is perpetuating racial stereotypes by drawing power and class lines between the Westernized models and the “primitive locals” “
I think the REAL PROBLEM is that lots of us conservatives, including myself, married these “primitive locals” and find them to be FAR FROM PRIMITIVE, but still traditional, in the sense that keeping a marriage together is MUCH HIGHER priority than trying to calculate how much money a divorce lawyer can screw out of a husband.

“In Spain, a model leans on a Matador. (photo by Sports Illutrated)”
The Matador in the foreground looks quite serious. The one behind the babe looks a bit light on his feet, if you know what I mean...

Overreaction. For one thing where the photos were done those people arent minorities.
This reminds me of the newscasters during the Olympics in Australia - they said something really stupid about race and why it might be offensive.
Then someone reminded them that the race baiting they were trying to peddle wasn't as highly a rated commodity in Australia as it is in America! IDIOTS!
