Did your teacher explain how they cheated? Is having more/better guns and more soldiers “cheating”? I am fascinated/confused by this.

How the hell does one cheat at war?

My 10th grade history teacher in Georgia told us that slavery was wrong, but that had nothing to do with the civil war so why were we even bringing it up?

I hear ya, but I can’t say that I feel too sorry for them. Certainly not sorry enough for it to be worth the degradation of having to stand next to pictures of, essentially, naked women when I am buying groceries or a candy bar. It’s 2016 — Sports Illustrated should stop it with the demeaning “swimsuit” issue (two of…

If you are being sarcastic about said attitude, then:

Well, I think it’s one thing that pro sports cheerleaders should be paid a fair wage for the work that they do and another to have a sports magazine turn into soft core porn once a year because objectification of women’s bodies is a default activity.

I’m not even gonna bother with a comment related to this. What are your favorite work snacks?

If they wanted me to buy this issue they should have put a box of Thin Mints on the cover nOM NOM NOM.

And that why, even though I’m an absolutely rabid sports fan, I canceled my subscription years ago. If you can only be bothered to recognize half of the population during one issue, the whole point of which is to objectify them, I’m out.

Yay! Now every body type gets to be objectified by the male gaze!

As someone said upthread, the goal is always to make women as naked as possible

“SI has always been and will always be about the models”

Weirdly I thought that Sports Illustrated was a magazine about athletes and sports? Apparently this is incorrect?

Obviously the point is to get them as close to naked as possible. It’s not like this has to do with swimming.

I wonder if someone can explain to me why, in the name of all that’s holy, this stupid thing becomes a lead item around the world every goddam year? It’s one issue of one magazine, and it’s about as archaic and retrograde as it gets. Even Jezebel is covering it. Why? Why do people even care anymore? Explain!

Get that woman a bikini top that shit looks annoying.

And yet SI still manages to be so fucking boring I can't stand it. This shit is just so passé.
