Swimsuit Issue
I rarely read James Lileks, but his piece on Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue made me laugh:
It is a rather rude folio, if you're easily offended. The swimsuit issue has nothing to do with the stated goal of the magazine, which is to Illustrate Sports. Pouty women clawing through the sand with their fundaments aimed at Old Sol have a tenuous connection to athletic endeavors. It's as if Martha Stewart Living suddenly devoted an issue to Mortal Kombat cheat codes, or DogFancy suddenly spent an entire issue on automatic transmissions. . . .
I'm betting that Martha plays a pretty mean game of Mortal Kombat.
