Because it' not her?

it's NOT rigged. if it were, the percentages would be much more equitable. you wouldn't have some girls with over 30% and some never breaking 1%. try to think about it. saying it's rigged is like saying, "i don't understand it, therefore i refuse to understand it" Even running on the assumption that it isn't rigged, it's already pretty much been proven that it's hacked. So whatever you want to say, with whatever mathematical equations you've come up with it's inaccurate.

He's multi-platinum, so I guess he can't be wrong. Obviously I'm "the monster I'm fighting" because I'm stereotyping a genre of music and the culture that surrounds it when you have music like the above that makes up a large portion of what it is. Most people don't see it as anything because most women, hell most people don't listen to the lyrics nor do they care. It's music, and music wont change the world, or sway anyone's opinion. Look you are entitled to your opinion, it's your prerogative but just because you ignore an underlying issue doesn't make it go away. Condoning it and trying to justify it because everyone else accepts it doesn't make it right it just makes most of us lazy and apathetic. Sex sells, Robin Thicke got his views/notoriety because he had girls parading around in next to nothing and he had a catchy beat.

Thank you donbot, the additions in here are always appreciated

Sex sells, there's no denying that, but that doesn't mean the song was a work of literary genius. The song never received universal praise, it was controversial and so people took notice. Because people took notice he was booked for shows and was talked about, which can to some be construed as popular, it's not. Bad press is bad press, but it sells records. I truly am sorry that you can't see that, but if you feel that the song was a step forward, or even positive then I really don't know what to say to you.

Yes, I want to punish her for doing what she did. That's a rather silly statement as all I said was that she was made famous for parading around naked, which isn't exactly the most classy endeavor. Not to mention it wasn't even done in an "artistic" fashion. The video was touted as being incrediby derogatory towards woman, and sexist on top of it. To make her look classy would have taken away the integral points of what made her "famous". Just because you're given the "honor" of being in the SI swimsuit issue doesn't mean a damn thing. There were 12 rookies, obvious point there was some filler models being thrown in because of their 15 minutes. Nothing wrong with that, and I hope it does something for their career, but the point remains they aren't going to change the shoot to something that doesn't cater to their target audiences. Point in case Bregje, she is incredibly high fashion and was marketed as such. It was a bit of a miss, why would they change it up for Emily and make her something she's not? They look pretty obviously fake to me. They are completely uneven and misshapen. The rest of her proportions are really unattractive to me too. The fact that she's been mentioned in the same sentence as Marisa Miller - even if preceded by "a poor man's" - makes me throw up in my mouth a little Nudity <-

So... this is why Kate got the back cover, because as much as MJ loves Chrissy, and as much as this forum thinks Nina is perfect, and as much as people want the VS angels to be relevant.... this is what the rest of the world thinks of all of the above in terms of search popularity. And please keep in mind Google is currently the most used search provider in the world, so... again.

Admittedly I'm not an expert on boobs, fake or real but I didn't think her's looked off. Nor did I think she had the worst body of the issue. o.0

IMO, its less about Emily’s face, which I like as well, and more about how SI shot her. No effort was made to make her look classy/sexy at all. Picking right up from blurred lines, SI put her in the body paint and some skimpy swim wear, giving her an appearance of being cheap. Big mistake and a waste of her considerable assets.

If Bregje can do SI, I think Magda can too. With the right styling she could definitely pull it off!

you guys are hilarious

no

... yes sorry, missed a bit of punctuation. Adriana has the same attitude that she had when she was in her early 20's. The same attitude that Chanel is literally filleted over... and yet it's acceptable. Chanel being younger at least as the excuse of immaturity due to her age.. Whereas Adriana acts the same way, or similar and is in her thirties so there's no excuse anymore.

I truly don't know why everyone dislikes Chanel so much. I've heard numerous people state it's due to her attitude, but I don't find her a whole lot different then let's say Adriana. And at least Chanel has her age to cut her a bit of slack, Adriana still acts the same way as someone in their thirties.

I'll stand by they could have done without half the rookies, but I guess when you're looking for new blood.. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the "older" models we've had for a few years phased out.

Don't even count on it. "Rookie" is too much of a nice term for this girl with her fake-ass enhancements. Wish all you want, but the hype is only going to kill your boners like it did mine. I'm not sure what "fake-ass enhancements" you're talking about.

I don't necessarily see them having fully dropped the "Carl becomes a full-blow psychopath" storyline at all. It's not like someone just flips a switch and he goes crazy, it's a slow gradual progression and you can already see bits and pieces of it coming together. He's becoming a very troubled youth and as he grows more into himself and becomes more self-reliant I can see that progressing further. Even psychopaths have ties and emotions towards people around them.

Slowen... can you please clarify what denipplefication means, or even what language it is?

This cover is a bit of a joke, and I wouldn't be surprised if sales tanked. Chances are VS pushed/paid for Lily to be on the cover and MJ saw her chance to put Chrissy on the cover which she never would have gotten otherwise, and Nina just happened to be at the right place with the right people. Let's be realistic here, last year they went where no fashion shoot, let alone swimsuit shoot has ever gone. Antarctica. This year, instead of finding some way to top it as it is their 50th year anniversary, they take a step back and give us a cover that could literally grace the cover of a springbreakers girls gone wild sans the sex appeal. I'm not saying Kate should have gotten the cover, but this literally looks like a last minute decision. A little known photographer, three girls who don't have the marketablility as some of the other veterans do, or hell even some of the other rookies Emily R anyone?. And as happy as you guys seem to be that Chrissy looks bad, (Ie not looking at the camera) it show just how much of a last minute decision this was, or just how bad of an editing team the magazine has now. I don't really care one way or the other, but it'll be interesting to see who comes back next year and who doesn't.

... yes to the mascot for the Miami Heat, but she never actually said yes or no. http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/verlander-can-t-even-trust-mascots-around-kate-upton-020814

Marloes is about as shapely as Nina is....

And we all say this without seeing a single picture of her in the magazine... Definitely deserving
