7. I think that might be the problem

for some.

8. Prior to a short time ago, I had never seen a Charlie Hebdo cover

I see exactly ONE Sports Illustrated cover every year.

You know why?

Because it gets linked or posted to DU.

Yes, if I wanted to go to the newsstand, I guess I could go have a look. But that same newsstand has any number of pornographic magazines which, if I were interested in buying a pornographic magazine, I could look at too.

Now, I found something out in the field when I was walking my dog earlier tonight. It is brown, warm, and smells really bad. It is too bad the internet doesn't allow me to post smells, because it smells so bad that I would like to share it with everyone.

18. I agree - I don't care about the SI cover either

It's been about a dozen years since I've seen an actual SISI issue. It makes for some amusing threads, though. I was suggesting that a more literal meaning of your words might apply to some who get so uptight over its posting on DU.

19. Well, she was a nun at the time the picture was taken

So, there's that.

[dissentient]

2. To me, it is an appealing photograph.

of a very beautiful woman. I enjoy looking at beauty.
Like most cultural things that people can object to, if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it, or even look at it for that matter.

I can't stand the pop music of today, so what do I do > I don't listen.

[NaturalHigh]

4. I'm with you on the music.

Give me Kurt Cobain, Chris Cornell, and Billy Corgan any day.

[dissentient]

6. Agreed.

[Archae]

10. I like the cover too.

What is the big deal about it?

[NaturalHigh]

3. I did not wish to select any of the options provided.

I'm going with woo-hoo!

[onehandle]

5. Hubba hubba is what I learned from the talkies. nt

[Art_from_Ark]

9. "Va-va-va-voom!" is what I learned from cartoons

[Archae]

11. I remember from "Little Annie Fanny" in Playboy...

"Oh...YASSS!!!"

[Major Hogwash]

14. "Hummina, hummina, hummina" is what I learned from Jackie Gleason.

Another one was "ooh-la-la".

One of my first bosses liked to say that about girls he thought was sexy that came in the restaurant.

[Baclava]

12. Swimsuits make me dizzy

[Warren DeMontague]

13. I voted "meh" because there's no option for "I never paid attention but after the shitstorm about it

on DU, I intend to buy it like clockwork for the rest of my life, even though 11 months out of the year I could give a shit about Sports Illustrated"

[NaturalHigh]

15. I get all my sports from the Internet.

Sports Illustrated is way too interested in promoting the SEC and writing fluff feel-good pieces instead of actual sports. I will, however, buy the Swimsuit Issue just to reward SI for all of the fascinating exchanges here.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. That's kind of where I'm at.

It's almost like the marketing people at Sports Illustrated understand the psychology of people like me; i.e. the best way to get me to do so something is to tell me not to.

[HappyMe]

17. Meh.

Not that long ago people were Je suis Charlie-ing all over the place. I guess that's over.

[Iggo]

20. What's the point? Better porn elsewhere.

[ChosenUnWisely]

21. If the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is porn so is the Sears Catalog Bra and Panty Section
