By now, we've all seen the 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which features model Hannah Davis on the cover. The cover depicts her in a pose that suggests that she is pulling her bikini bottom down; it comes within an inch of exposing her genitals. Some critics think that the cover is too racy, and I personally agree; it's too low, and it comes dangerously close to exposing her bare pelvis. I don't want to see that. What do you think about this?

Don't like, don't look! I'm not gonna complain about the falling down of society.

It's the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Like, what are people expecting? The whole thing is softcore porn and a cheap thrill. It's not like the journalistic integrity of a genuine publication has somehow been compromised. It sends a horrible message to young girls? Yes, it does, but bloody hell the entire existence of and every single photo in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition sends a horrible smurfing message to young girls. And you know what else sends a horrible message to young girls? That a couple of inches below their waste are shameful and depraved.

I guess my view on this entire thing is that I don't really have time for either side.

Oh heavens me. You mean a magazine devoted to showing women in bikini's for the kids that don't want to be caught with porn by their parents is showing a woman in a bikini who's almost out of the bikini?

Firstly, if she isn't naked, there's really no controversy here as far as how much is she showing, in no small part because I think societies obsession with never acknowledging that naked people exist is pretty silly. Second, if the controversy is that a woman isn't quite covered enough and not that there's still a swimsuit issue in 2015 to begin with, I have to wonder what decade we're living in here. Because I'd imagine that society paying so much attention and hyping the simple existence of a magazine issue devoted to women in skimpy bikini's sends a worse message than the coverage said bikini is providing.

I mean hell, I like looking at an attractive woman as much as the next heterosexual male, but why is this so important?

Sometimes I just think you are the cutest thing.

1) I am pro-nudity.
2) I am anti-over-sexualization.

I say it's a wash.

Couldn't care less. If Sports Illustrated stopped doing it, another magazine/company would just rise up with the same thing so long as the demand was there.

People worry about girls posing in bikinis when there is so much worse online and it's far more easily accessible than Sports Illustrated is.

Why don't you want to see that, Supermillionaire?

Because it comes dangerously close to exposing her bare pelvis!

[Slothy]

Mmmmm... bear pelvis...

Is that the pelvis bone of a bear?

Anyway, it comes dangerously close to exposing her genitals, and that should not be shown in public.

[Shauna]

But it didn't show any genitals, so I'm not really seeing the issue here.

[Mirage]

I wouldn't mind if she did show her genitals anyway. She's pretty hot.

Where was he to bitch and whine when Kim Kardashian was fully nood in Paper Magazine!?

[Aerith's Knight]

Huh, I think these people need a reality check to what exactly most kids these days are exposed to over the intertubes. There's porn out there that makes you (at least me) figuratively and literally vomit.

Questioning a suggestive bikini model is like questioning the paper cut on your finger after a gunshot to the heart.

Anyway, it comes dangerously close to exposing her genitals, and that should not be shown in public.

I agree. We need to stop coming dangerously close to exposing genitals in public. That stuff just needs to be completely uncovered. My boys need to breath after all.
