are you kidding me?

So we are officially in Olympic mode, as the games start next week. Of course the Olympic advertising is starting, including mag covers, etc. And already we are getting some controversy from the new SI cover and the most popular new USA team member.

Apparently, some feel that this cover is too sexually explicit and it objectives her. I never realized that skiing was alot like having sex (insert sass). You know, when you are hurling down an icey slope to your death, the "tuck" position is sort of like other extracurricular activity positions. But if we are using this defense, so is like every move in Yoga, and everytime a football player crouches on the line.

I hate to point out the obvious, but she is a skier, in the ski position, on a snowy mountain, wearing ski clothing!!! And this coming from someone with a dirty mind!!!! Are you kidding me? It could be that she is actually pretty and has a personality (unlike, as the article points out, Michael Phelps). I'm all about female empowerment, BUT it mayyyy be taking it too far. Let's just be excited that a female is on the cover of SI (which has only happened on about 5% of the covers ever), and that she is going to be leading Team USA.

Aren't figure skaters dirty too??? Sparky costumes, inappropriate team touching....I'm just saying.
