LOL!
You’ve got to be kidding.
I wish!
You mean like...why’s Obama’s black African daddy pictured with Obama’s white American Mama? I can’t WAIT for Obama to weigh in in an attempt to “bridge” this racially charged subject.
Yea...and most of the text is in white too. That proves racism!!!!
Actually, if your race had been compared to monkey for generations ya think you might be sensitive to it?
This King Kong poster is close to the Vanity cover: http://www.antiquetrader.com/mark/content/binary/KingKong.jp

More importantly, where are the agents and the athletes themselves stepping in to stop these types of photos?
You may be onto something there. This is an interesting photo. What made the editors (all probably Democrats) decide to run it at this time? Hmmm...
No...they go to Obama’s church. You been hearing what that hate preacher says?
He IS huge, isn’t he? He’s built more like a football player than a basketball player. He would add a whole new dimension of meaning to the term “technical foul”. How the heck tall is he? Not that it matters with those legs.
Jeez, not this sh*t again!!!
Who said it? Some guilty white liberals?
Sheesh. That image was not on my radar at all.
He looks like a guy playing basketball.
..and please be quick about it! /s
I just happened to see the cover this morning at the supermarket. I loved it - very eye-catching, even kind of witty, and really good photography! Only a liberal could be “offended” by it. Liberals are perpetually offended, anyway, so who cares?
Interesting that it's the critics that think that Lebron looks like King Kong. No one else. And they have the nerve to accuse Vogue of perpetuating racial stereotypes?
Nope. It's a big thing on university forums...most of them are literary arts or journalism majors.
i'm sure that's it... however, i bet they would also complain about a white athletic male in the picture with a petite black model...
he started dating Gisele while his last girlfriend was pregnant...
Tel me...how many huge, muscular male stars DON’T pose in something like a King Kong attitude at least once, regardless of the color of their skin? Hulk Hogan, Lou Ferrigno...it’s a MALE thing. TESTOSTERONE. Get over it. (I HOPE you’re not male, that’s creepy)
In other words, she can look at any photograph of a black man and say either:
"Too sexual -- you racist!"
or
"How dare you emasculate that man -- you racist!"
Nice gig.
