A few years ago I went to a beach in the United Arab Emirates and saw a couple of "burkinis".Weird doesn't even begin to describe them...particularly given that at the same time there were several women wearing more typical Western bathing suits.

The contrast was stunning.

1. The PC crowd gets what they want and wins. Or...
2. The PC crowd doesn’t get what it wants, paints us all as unimportant racists, and wins.

The swimsuit issue will sell well as always and perhaps moreso due to this novelty addition.

However we’re SI to continue along these lines of cloaking the beach babes you can wave bye bye to the popularity of this particular annual event.

Anyone who believes the SI swimsuit edition success is due to anything related to culture probably thinks people bought Playboy magazine to read the articles.

The funny thing about this is wearing something like that is just about the least 'empowering' thing a woman can do.

“Female empowerment” is not what I normally associate with Mohammedanism.

The prudish Victorians had sexier swimsuits than the burkini.

The same, formerly interesting, formerly testosterone driven publication that now gives Bruce Jenner The Brave Woman of the Year Award for wearing a dress over his manhood.

Somebody send them a fork.

Sports Illustrated going the way of other Ragazines. Like Scientific American and National Geographic. Over time, they morphed into pushing the lieberal agenda, sneaking it into every nook and cranny of each and every article. No longer is the agenda limited to the editorial page or editor’s statement.

SI swimsuit issue magazines aren’t bought to see fully clothed women at the beach. Epic fail by SI.
