A postage stamp would give Kate Upton more privacy than this bikini.

    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

  6. 1992 SI Swimsuit Cover Kathy Ireland

    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 think they could have toned it down, rather than take that waste line down, but I really don't see anything wrong with it.

    After all these years, I still don't see what people get so freaked out about skin for. It's beautiful. So? It may put sex in the mind of most men and some women for an additional moment added to the tens of thousands of moments every day. So?

    I don't get the outrage and disgust. Are those your comments on the post, Fef?
    Do you have some sort of sexual disorder? In my opinion, it takes a really sick mind to look at a pretty girl and find something bad about it. "Near-porn fetish"? What's wrong with you?

    As a father of daughters... yeah, I guess so. I don't want any man to have sex with any daughter ;)

    I raised three duaghters, and I have three grandaughters . . . I want them to enjoy life as natural women. I want them to know that their skin is beautiful, and not shameful or wrong. Men "drool" - that's the men, that's who they are.

    In Islamic countries (further back in time in the religious craziness about sex), men say that sexy women are to blame if the men are driven to rape or other violence.
    I think Christian offense at sexy images in western media are part of the exact same thing - men's failings, that need to be addressed, not inherent "dirty-ness" in lovely female skin.

    I blame this on the fair sex who let themselves be exploited. They show we as men look.

    It's about time that women stopped allowing themselves to be exploited to sell magazines and other products. Women who have self-respect don't fell a need to flaunt themselves in front of everyone who happens to pass by. And what are we teaching children who see these images everywhere? They learn at an early age that women are nothing but sexual objects and not to be respected.

    Fine by me. I just figure she must be about nine feet tall - I mean, to have that sort of distance between the belly button and the pant line.

    I should have said, "her missing woooohooo." --It doesn't look like she has one. They airbrushed her to the point of her looking like a paper doll down there.

    You don't see any nipples or pubic area. So yes, they are covered, by arms and water.

    yeah... I know... but as a father of daughters, I feel that the plan makes it very difficult for me -- both to respect the girls and to raise mine.

    But, I don't want to outlaw it or anything.
