Author Topic: Why this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is below par. (Read 235 times)

Last year it was 3-D photos. Year before that it was body paint. This year, its just more of the usual "foreign chick on a foreign beach". The piece that's supposed to be "The Keys" could've been shot anywhere for as little discernable local landmarks they show: a pool, a palm, a lounge chair. You can get those at the Holiday Inn Titusville. The only redeeming value of the issue is the Carl Hiassen piece. He's got Florida/Caribbean down pat!

No offense, but if you are going to let the background of a swimsuit issue turn you off, then you are officially gay.

You are, however, partially redeemed by liking Hiassen. The one good thing I can say about Fatty is he turned me on to his books a few years back.

Nah, its just that SI had started a trend of bigger and better and newer and fresher and this year they might as well have re-run SI: 1993 Swimsuit Edition. I would've thought by now they'd have a new schtick to go along with it. They only had 1 body paint photo and it was interesting, but not nearly as tantalizing as the pics from a couple years ago. And no 3D either. I don't have the mag in front of me right now, but I don't recall a "wet garment see-thru nipple shot" or anything like that. The black chick in Kenya got close, but no cigar. Its as if SI has become PC.

I think Martha Burke has something to do with it all.
