OT: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
Since I found myself posting about it in the "Ginger" thread of all places, I thought it deserved it's own spot. For your favorites, comments, links...

I guess I'm not for the generic blondes SI has gone back to. But I'm sure there's some out there who appreciate their selection. ;-)

LOL one of the greatest family guy clips ever!
February 11th, 2010 at 9:49 AM ^
is quagmire left handed? or does he just prefer 'the stranger'?
February 10th, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
Triple post fail. Sorry guys
February 11th, 2010 at 12:26 AM ^
The way the Blog was responding when you were posting this, it had equal chance of posting 3 times or not going up at all.
February 10th, 2010 at 9:37 PM ^
Apologies
February 10th, 2010 at 9:36 PM ^
Brooklyn Decker is off the charts in this issue. Absolute smokeshow. Andy Roddick did well for himself.

+1 for the link. I wish I could give you another for "smokeshow." I've never heard that before, but I really like it. I'm gonna try to start using it.
I agree that Brooklyn's hot (and has an awesome name), but it seems like she's more up and down than other models. Some of her pictures--WOW. Some, just wow.
Are Marisa Miller and Bar Rafaeli in this one again?
February 10th, 2010 at 10:47 PM ^
I believe Bar Rafaeli is in this issue, but for whatever reason, I think Marisa Miller was left out.
Yeah, I used to think Brooklyn was pretty hot, but never drop dead gorgeous, but this issue, some of her shots are just ungodly. Smokeshow.
February 10th, 2010 at 11:43 PM ^
Marissa not being in this year's magazine is unfortunate.
February 10th, 2010 at 11:42 PM ^
Dear Austin. You love that word. Lastly, it is very true.
February 11th, 2010 at 6:30 AM ^
You got that right...

Holy smokes!
February 10th, 2010 at 9:49 PM ^
BTW, the celeb at the link ISN'T Maurice Green I'm talking about...

Elsa's more a Hall of Famer than a current vet, no?
But for those that want to thumbnail the current crop (hmmm, that sounds dirty...):

And if we're including last year's, how did they not bring HER back?-

Once you have watched enough porn, the swimsuit issue really doesn't do it anymore.
February 11th, 2010 at 12:24 AM ^
As tongue in cheek as it may be. :-)
I mean, do you not turn and look at a beautiful woman on the street because she has clothes on? Do we not like hot women on tv and in movies, even the non-naked ones?
If you're over 14 and whacking off to the swimsuit issue, yeah, that's sad. But it doesn't mean it's not nice to look at them. (Or you've made yourself numb by watching WAY too much porn).
February 11th, 2010 at 5:32 AM ^
Here's a test. Next time you go camping, far away from civilization, take a SI swimsuit issue with you. By the forth day of not seeing a woman, bust out the SI. Try to contain yourself. The baby batter will Soon over-ride all thoughts and you will be jerkin' the gherkin just like back in the day to that wonderful, but sometimes forgotten about soft porn. Let's never become too good for half naked women. Just remember, our fourfathers would of totally lost it just by the sight of a woman's thigh.
February 11th, 2010 at 6:29 AM ^
until you said "fourfathers"...
February 11th, 2010 at 8:50 AM ^
Remind me never to go camping with you...
February 11th, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
While our forefathers had Puritans holding their wee-wees shut, the Euro trash were desensitizing themselves with voluptuousness:
My, how times have changed
April 11th, 2010 at 10:15 AM ^
the worst day ever...when I came to that realization. Said goodbye to an old friend that day.
February 10th, 2010 at 10:36 PM ^
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010_swimsuit/bracket/
Bracket of the greatest swimsuit pictures ever. You can fill out the whole bracket, all the way to the final. Brooklyn's '07 picture in the cowboy hat won. I'm sure it will change next time I do the bracket. Highly recommended.
February 11th, 2010 at 12:06 AM ^
Not even close.
February 11th, 2010 at 9:25 AM ^
But it doesn't look like Namoi is even getting out of the first round.
The bracketing is kinda, well, whack, and it's obvious that there some internet get offa my lawn young guy over old guy slant, because the classics aren't doing so well. (I mean really, THAT Tiegs shot losing to Varekova? Really?)
I'm not sure if I put together my own bracket that these would even rate (Plus, they had Klum vs. Klum in one bracket), but my Final Four:
Diaz-Rahi, Klum 99 (in a hard fought battle over Klum 98), Banks, Porizkova 85 in a really weak bracket (That was the Duke bracket...I would have taken any of the other 6 in the round of 8 in the other 3 brackets over this one...why isn't MacPherson a #1 seed??). Then had Diaz-Rahi over Banks in the Final.
The results are kinda goofy too. It says I prefer two piece bikinis (is it possible to vote mostly one piece with all the two pieces? Seriously, I probably voted for more 0 piece); New School...not sure what that qualifies as, since my Final Four was 2 90's, an 80's, and an 02; Nite Owl...like I was paying attention to the time of day in the pics; and prefer blondes over brunettes. Now, while it's almost impossible not to with the candidates they picked, I had NO blondes in the Final Four...because in that pic, even Heidi isn't really blonde. Not sure what they're calculating...
We'll see how the weeks play out...most seem done already...vote! :-P
February 11th, 2010 at 8:58 PM ^
that I would like to see expanded to a field of 96.
February 10th, 2010 at 10:52 PM ^
I remember guys bringing issues in to school in middle school, and having all the guys crowd around it. Those were the days...
February 11th, 2010 at 12:06 AM ^
The Swimsuit Issue may not compare to porn, but every year I inevitably scan the body painting section for nipple sightings.
February 11th, 2010 at 3:51 AM ^
I still remember the Heidi Klum sunburst:

Damn, has it really been 11 years?!
February 11th, 2010 at 1:42 AM ^
My best friend, Miranda Kerr, thinks all these girls are ugly compared to her.
February 11th, 2010 at 6:42 AM ^

Click on any one of the four, I dare you...
Probably better than the SI layouts of the "woMEN of Yugoslavia 84, East German style"...
February 11th, 2010 at 7:00 AM ^
Totally, dude. I can't believe these world-class athletes can't also look like Heidi Klum. What's their deal? They should probably all wear ski masks to church and go to the beach wearing North Face jackets.
February 11th, 2010 at 10:31 AM ^
They shouldn't wear ski masks but I'm not sure why they would have pictures of them in bikinis. Not the best thing to look at.
February 11th, 2010 at 8:56 AM ^
Yet, when they're competing in athletic events, rather than appearing next to Swimsuit Models, there are going to be threads on "who's the hottest athlete". Athletes are always overrated because they're doing something we usually expect an Ogress to do.
Besides, if they're going to have female Winter Olympic Athletes, and they're not going to be from U-M ;-), they should have picked-

February 11th, 2010 at 11:56 AM ^
all those chicks are smokin' hot you fool. Best part about the athletic types is that they give a little back, know what I mean? FIERCE!!!
Though there are limits to what even I can handle:
I think she would crush my pelvis. No more snoo snoo!
February 11th, 2010 at 3:15 PM ^
Who is that guy? Was he at the NFL combines?
February 11th, 2010 at 7:17 AM ^
Miranda Kerr agrees...
February 11th, 2010 at 7:46 AM ^
Hot enough to make you want to chop your weiner. She's Jewish, you know.
February 11th, 2010 at 8:15 AM ^
No one is that hot.
February 11th, 2010 at 10:09 AM ^
but she is rockin that blue dress today.
February 11th, 2010 at 11:36 AM ^
The funniest thing about the SI swimsuit issue is that the topless women always have their arms covering their breasts and as anyone who has ever been to (for example) a French beach knows that in reality these women are usually showing off, not hiding. Considering that it's now a stand alone issue...I don't know why SI is still playing so coy with the nudity.
February 11th, 2010 at 11:49 AM ^
Probably because their primary market is the USA which, despite being among the most lascivious nations on earth, still pretends to have a shred of dignity. It's an identity crisis. Blame the Puritans.
February 11th, 2010 at 2:57 PM ^
What's funny is that Amish and Mennonites, probably the closest modern day American thing to the Puritans (yes, I know it's totally different, but go with me), all have a good laugh about racy things. You don't think it's unintentional that central Pennsylvanian towns are named Intercourse, Bird-in-hand and the like, do you?
February 11th, 2010 at 11:45 AM ^
One from the vault. This was always my favorite when I was a kid
(Yeah, I'm a sucker for puppies and babes living in harmony)
February 11th, 2010 at 3:20 PM ^
Great time for my computer to freeze up and my boss do the POP-IN....perfect. Of course I was in no position to get up from my desk either...great.
April 11th, 2010 at 10:18 AM ^
is even hotter because her first name is Bar.
