    What swimsuit? Again... do they model the swimsuit or their fine-toned bodies.

    What swimsuit? Really!? Does this belong at the checkout stand of grocery stores? This looks very inappropriate for children.

    SI Swimsuit Covers show women with barely any clothes and the models want to take off their clothes... Has SI sold out to porn?

    Tyra Banks modeled for SI cover in 1997. She has more clothes than 2012 model, but she looks like she wants to take off her bikini bottom

    Kathy Ireland quickly moved SI from clothed elegance to near-naked skintilizing flesh porn.

    Sports Illustrated had some standards back in 1991... the models had swimsuits and kept the clothes on.

Sports Illustrated has launched its 2012 Swimsuit model edition. SI continues to push the limits of decency and taste. Si had taste in 1991 with Ashley Montana on the cover with a one-piece swimsuit. Si must have listened to the raunchy critics who encouraged them to take it all off in 1992 with Kathy Ireland's two-piece bikini cover. Si accelerated its near-porn fetish leading up to this year's Swimsuit Model cover Kate Upton. Her dad must feel very proud of seeing his daughter reach the pinnacle of modeling -- a postage stamp covering her shaved private region for men (and young boys) to drool over.

Let's see if public opinion considers the 2012 Sports Illustrated cover appropriate or has Si gone too far with selling sex?

    Looks great to me. Anyone that goes to the beach or a public pool sees suits like that regularly. Pushing the limits of decency and taste? C,mon, man. Get real.

    I dont see talking about this when it seems that everybody goes to beach wearing les then what would cover his/her special parts. We seem outdated. Nudity is a fashion arround here

    Same thing you see on Dancing W/the Stars, except they are giving several interesting poses as they whirl and twirl.

    Seems like an everyday swimsuit that people wear at the beach or a pool. It would be sexier if it didn't reveal as much skin. Too indecent? I've seen much worse at Wal-Mart.

    I don't like the cover as much and it does show off more bare chest than I'd like. Because I think it would more sexy if she didn't show so much. But overall I don't think it's that bad.

    An overreaction to it because you're a dad of girls. There's just somethings people have no control over and the only thing we can do is adjust.

    I think the cover is ok but maybe a little too sexy for the checkout at the grocery store. Sex sells, my children get a magazine called Gameinformre, it's a videogame magazine but I have to be honest I threw a few of them in the garbage because I thought they were a little racey for boys.

    It's no worse then seeing a bunch of gays wearing leather and feathers walking thru down town in a parade... Or some nasty crap like that...

    I don't see how...or are you saying because a gay person would see that cover and be disgusted, just like you are for something as silly as....someone wearing leather and feathers? If you really are a marine, I'm disappointed in the armed forces as a whole.

    Like the rest of such mags (GQ, Maxim, etc), they'll put a "cover" over most of the mag, but leave about 2" from the top so folk can see the title. Porn is a HUGE Spiritual problem in this country, and needs to be destroyed.

    "Porn is a HUGE Spiritual problem in this country, and needs to be destroyed."

    GQ & Maxim considered porn? Yea, "destroy"/burn it, put women in burkas! )))

    The 'softer' side. Burqas? Maybe you'd prefer the harder mags to be sold at the check-out counter of your local Safeway?

    So, GQ & Maxim are "soft porn"? And have to be "destroyed"?
    I see. Do you have a problem with freedom & women in bikinis?
    Maxim, etc. - placed in magazine section & women in bikinis, etc. are covered, if they are in check-out section. Actually It's surprised me in US.
    I used to see topless magazines in Europe, but it's not only that, political correctness, TSA, gov. healthcare, gov. school system with propaganda, etc.
    How free is your country if you have almost the same amount of freedom as people had in the USSR? And here we go... let's destroy more freedoms, to be more "spiritual" & secure?


    “Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”
    - Thomas Jefferson

    "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
    - Abraham Lincoln

    While think it's way too revealing, I think the average copy of National Enquirer, People or Self are by their cover stories worse.

    I don't worry about children seeing nudity, and once they're old enough to feel sexual urges, they'll see it one way or another. I do object to provocative poses though. Nudity is natural, whereas seduction in general public is not...typically.

    It looks fine to me and if you think it's too sexy for the grocery store you'd better never think about going to the beach.

    Not much different then if you were at the beach. But then again skin has never bothered me... I guess if it bothers you, don't buy it, don't look at it and don't go to the beach or other public swimming areas :-)

    Not saying the naked Pregnant is ugly. My point is they are wearing less than the SI Swinsuit Covers.

    What inappropriate or offensive can be about woman in a swimsuit? ))) In Europe you can see even topless. )))

    I prefer covering this BS:

    inapropriate offensive woman swimsuit covering bs

    inappropriate offensive woman swimsuit covering bs
