Love Dennis Prager, but he needs to refrain from using the term “gay” to describe homosexual men.

When I am in the check-out line at the grocery store, I turn around magazines that have offensive covers, something I observed my late mother doing when she was a senior citizen.

If a woman wants to look at good looking men in swimsuits or various states of undress, all she has to do is buy Cosmo or one of the thousand other women’s magazines that line the supermarket shelves.

I opened up one of those popular fashion magazines (cosmo or marie claire or something like that) at the dentist office the other day and was grossed out by a multi page spread of a handsome, sulky looking young man in a variety of ladies clothing - some that were barely covering pertinent detail. Yuk. I guess the subscriber base consists mainly of homos who’d drool over those pictures, but there’s no need for me to open that magazine again. Nothing there but sickness and that doesn’t interest me.

Women don’t spend much money or time for gawking at men in swim suits, and that leaves homosexual men as the main market, and being, what, 1 or 2 per cent of the population, the issue is not worth the expense.

I think this should fill the void.

I will definitely NOT!!! take that bet. (lol) Given the current push by the usual suspects, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.
I think all the metrosexuals at SI who would dearly love to have an issue devoted to that are a little scared their dwindling (I hope) subscribers who are probably less lib in their attitudes towards those things would cancel their subscriptions.

It’s really not even that complicated. The other 51 issues a year all focus on pictures of men, 1 issue a year is women.

If a woman wants to look at good looking men in expensive suits, sports cars, and high-end accessories, she can read "Forbes." I used to have a picture on my desk of Scott Glenn in a suit ad from Forbes.

It was just a thought. I’m sure we’ll learn on FR when it happens.

Well, I dunno, SI has gone whole hog for homosexuals in the last year or two.
You'd think they would be all over a fag swimsuit issue!
To: servo1969
Well, the female body is a work of art.
The male body is utilitarian. It's like a Jeep, it's for gettin' around.
To: servo1969
‘Cause there aren’t enough homosexuals to make it commercially viable, what with porn so easy to get?

Why no Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue of men? Um...because the target audience is young heterosexual men? Because the marketeers know what they're going? Because the magazine doesn't want to take a financial bath to satisfy some idiot academic's political fantasies?
