I like it... Swimming is a great sport and why not show swimwear.

I kind of like it. Maybe one day I can be a model. At 40 it's not likely

Angry Dragon
(36,693 posts)All I know is that none of women are shown swimming in them
because these suits would not stay on while swimming

(64,869 posts)One of his holiday gifts to me was to resubscribe to SI. I can honestly say that i used to throw away the swimsuit issue. My wife would get the mail, set the issue on the kitchen counter and i would toss it out.
I've never had any particular desire to look at it. Well, maybe when i was 18.

(68,918 posts)...and yet I have a subscription this year. But only because of the Packers Super Bowl Champs Tshirt and video.
Nice try trumad. Someday you\'ll get what I\'m talking about.

My only complaint is that they don't have any guys in the issue.

(6,299 posts)It's not like SI is selling swimsuits.

(6,278 posts)They're selling magazines. Oh, and readers' eyeballs to advertisers. As long as they've printed it, it's been the annual "please cancel my subscription" issue, but presumably the SI bean counters figure they more than make up for the business it loses with the business it would not otherwise receive.
At best it's an anachronism. And it's a fine example of why not everything that has "Sports" in the title is really about sports.

Again I have no problem with this thread or the Cheerleader thread
