I would be interested in seeing some steamy pictures of men. Is sports illustrated a women's magazine or a men's magazine?

What's important to me is her stance on the Palestinian question. Oh, wait, no it isn't. I don't care about that at all.

A mother catches her 14 year old son reading Playboy in his bedroom. She is stocked!
She takes her son to the family doctor. He says, "Don't worry, it's just a phase he's going through."
Thanks doctor, the woman says; How long does it last? well it starts around twelve , says the DR, and lasts until the day he dies!

*Sigh* Show me the goods or go home. This "barely" stuff is ridiculous...."she's topless, except for her arms covering her chest..."

Are models becoming more cartoonish? I don't get the attraction.

Given that practically no one actually sees women who look like this, I don't either.

And I say this as a fit mom of two lovely, slim, bikini ready daughters. But they don't look *anything* like this.

Really? I see women like this all the time when I go to the beach.

It's sad. Her greatest asset is made out of plastic.

Mine are real D cups. I caused an accident once when a trucker was cranking his neck around to get a better look.

"HEY, would you look at tha..........screeeeeeeeeeeeeech...........CRASH! *tinkle*

It wasn't funny at the time, but now that I'm older, I look back and smile. I should have enjoyed myself and my body more, you know?

i too am israeli, but it boggles my mind to think that this woman is news. she hasn't been ldc's ex for years. as a model she's 3rd rate. as an intellectual, she's not.
i can understand her being news at ynet, the childrens channel in israel, even some crazed out islamic site showing how ungodly israel is.
BUT wot!!! for crying out loud, wot makes her news?

Uh...there was news associated with this?

Ofer, any article that reminds those who need reminding that Israeli's aren't all running around shooting "innocent" Palestinians with M16's is good with me.

And that's wot makes it ok.
