Body Issue Issues...





Obviously Serena looks hot, but the most intriguing photos to me are the ones with the dudes and the one with Gina Carano. Questions... did they just get two of the most swoll-patrol dudes in ball to pose so that they didn't seem sexist or ripping off the SI swimsuit issue? The Gina Carano pic in my opinion is one of the most awesome displays of awesomeness I've seen in awhile, but it seems awkward, right?
First, The dudes...
1) aren't nude like Serena, which could of easily been done by having the boys block their go-nads with their other body parts (which looks brilliant in the Serena pose).
2) totally don't look into it. Probably because they were told to cross their arms across their chest's for no reason. Men with their arms crossed do not look alluring or sexy, they just look like your boss. If this is supposed to be for the ladies, sex it up ESPN!!!
3) Lastly, Dwight's pic is an awkward looking shot with only half his body in it and his face looks like he is on Jeopardy. Stupid dudes.
Gina is...
1) one of the sexist women in the world, that no one has ever heard of. She fights in the UFC, which to most is viewed as either the new boxing or douche-bag Ed Hardy lovin' frat boy fallback when football is gone. She is one of the toughest female fighters pound for pound and isn't the stereotypical dykie white trash ex-trucker with terrible tattoos of skulls and blue fire! She is an amazing human specimen no matter what gender. On one hand this photo shows a considerable amount of her strength, but it's a drab action shot with a dead face and eyes. Why not go more layered and show her subtle strength or quiet rage without her just kicking a fucking bag... Yeah I've been watching too much America's Next Top Model.
All in all, the photos seem to be half-assly done and based on the sensationalist fact that nudity (or just the implication of it) is all you need to sell a mag... or at least waste my time looking for pics on the internet.
Hey is Kathy Ireland dead yet?
