Swimsuit issue
Over the last ten days I celebrated a birthday – well, okay, I didn’t “celebrate” it so much as piss and moan about it, like I always do – and watched the Super Bowl and watched the NBA All Star Game and got a day off work for Presidents Day.
And right in the middle of all that good stuff, the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue arrived in my mailbox. Icing on the cake, right?
Not really. Fact is, I find the swimsuit issue more disappointing every year.
There was a time when I eagerly anticipated it. There was a time when it was a cultural event. It’s such a good idea: in the middle of the winter, when people are weary of the cold, in a magazine where you don’t normally expect it, show people a bunch of beautiful women wearing bikinis in warm climates. C’mon, what could be better than that? Men get to ogle and women get to complain about the men ogling, so everybody is happy.
