Sherack Nhar Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 I've been telling you forever! Why won't people listen to me?
Tie Guy Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Hmm...thats sad. A pretty clean cut indication of what American culture is today though, eh?
darthfergie Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 No...for a clean cut indication of what American culture is today just take a look into your inbox:evanpiel: Too weird...National Geographic... *walks off shaking head and gets back inside nuclear bomb shelter*
Luke Skywalker Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 That's just... disturbing... I feel sick... *barfs* But seriously.... WHY would they do such a thing? They should leave it up to Sport's Illustrated and Maxim...

Eets Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Oh my god! That's.. that's.. UGH! I only have one thing to say to that!! WOOHOO!
Silenthunter Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Ahh! Don't let Eets near it! There's no telling what he'll do if he gets his hands on such a dangerous weapon! BTW, welcome back Luke!
Darth Groovy Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Forget that, what about the Anna Nicole Smith Show? If it really is the end of the world, I say we build a fire, sing songs and make s'mores. I'll provide the beer. They must have ran out of hidden tribes in Africa and South America, so now they just have to pay for the T&A shots like everyone else. I think those tribes were paid too, but that's just my theory.
Surfnshannon Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Ten Million Dollar question.... Its supposed to be about Swimsuits....American culture Where are my naked shots of buff men??? Let me guess...they only shot women.... uh huh...i c how it is.
Darth Groovy Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Boy I could really use ten million dollars! I'm gonna take a stab at this. I would say that if this is an art issue. In art the female body is consdidered to be the most beautiful human form due to the ammount of curves and various complimenting shapes on a female as opposed to that of the male. However... If this is a marketing issue, a preliminary poll would have been made, or some sort of test run. Odds are that in San Francisco, CA and Key West FL, the male edition sold well, while female edditions would sell better world wide. Then it would be a situation of "winner takes all" . That's only my hypothesis mind you.
Surfnshannon Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 it is supposed to be about history...not babes. If they want to show our culture than they need to show both sexes. Showing just the girls pisses me off because that only shows how sexist these Geographic people are.
Rogue Nine Posted January 30, 2003 Author Posted January 30, 2003 Well, we shouldn't be too quick to judge them off as sexist, Shan. After all, they did say they intended it to be a bit of lighthearted fun. And they never said only women. They said they were going to trace the history of bathing suits that people have worn throughout the years. Then again, I could be wrong. But I don't like to judge things until I see them.
Surfnshannon Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 i know...i want to see it too..did it say when it was coming out??? edited to add.... I just went to the website...looks like all women to me!! National Geographic
Darth Groovy Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 I do sympathize with your plite STTCT, however if this is indeed the history of swimsuits, the most dramatical changes would have been with the women. Over the years guys have had two choices to nudity. Boxors, or breifs. I choose boxors, but many ladies may like more flesh. All BS aside, you dont have too many choices do ya? Warning! This post does not support the new National Geographic Swimsuit Issue!
Darth Groovy Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Do I get the ten Million though? Or can I at least get $100,000 for my good efforts?
edlib Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Heh heh... I'm already a subscriber. Stay tuned: My review forthcoming...
Luke Skywalker Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 I think this should be banned from all shelves EVERYWHERE so some joe doesn't confuse his Maxim with National Geographic... *sigh*...
