Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Sparks Controversy. Offensive or Overreaction?

I suppose calling the SI swimsuit issue sexist is so old hat, out of fashion. My, my racism is everywhere! Here's an idea, taking a cue from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, why don't all us Whiteys wear a big red "R" around our necks whenever we're seen in public?

The whole idea behind Affirmative Action is to use minorities as props in Academia and the Corporate World.

Jezebel is one of the most obnoxious man-hating sites on the internet (especially from their resident anti-male male, the limpwristed Hugo Schwyzer). I've blocked them so I don't accidentally click any of their links.

It goes without saying that they are part of the Gawker network, which published the names of NYC CCW holders in response to the suburban newspaper that did the same, then went on twitter to disparage anyone who called them out on it.

The entire Gawker network is scum and I urge everyone to never visit any of their sites, listed here.

SI sexually exploiting and objectifying women, duh

but at least they aren’t nude with paint this year

This may require some additional research and very close scrutiny :)

Its the yearly paen to white beauty (ftr the black model is very pretty)and how this must kill the fems and their anti-white allies. Too bad, though like that fraud Playboy mag and its leftism I find both stupidly hypocritical.

Are there women in in the swimsuit issue? I like looking at locales.

I bought an issue last night to make sure it would not fall in the hands of a minor.

There is one picture of Kate Upton wearing only a scarf (strategically placed).

Hmmm Something we can agree on.

"...I only buy the mag to read sports stories and articles, maybe the occasional advert that might grab my interests...I often find the mag boring and dull"

[al baby]

You don’t get many of those by the pound

What was the line from the old Warner cartoons?

Oh yeah. “...Mama buy me that”.

[forgotten man]

That is a beautiful cloud formation in the background. What is there not to like about nature and the natural.

[Vigilanteman]

Men have been admiring the female figure and reproducing it as art for over 3000 years. Get over it.

What is it about libtards to think, on one hand, that people can be rewired to conform to their version of political correctness but, on the other hand, are no more capable of controlling their sexual actions than a dog in heat?

I remember when the swimsuit models used to wear swimsuits. :-)

I recently re-upped my subscription (it was free, for 6 months anyway). It had been a few years since I'd perused a copy of SI's swimsuit edition. I was rather surprised to see - on the last page - fully naked models.

Not that I'm complaining. But, it was a little surprising.

Another day, another complaint of evil “racism.” Yawn.

[pingman]

That “scarf” looks digital, painted on; not that I’m complaining, of course!
