| | OK.... I'm really upset about thisPage 1 of 2 (1, 2) | For Christmas my son got me a subscription to Sports Illustrated, which I've really enjoyed so far.... Since I started getting them I'm always looking forward to checking the mailbox to see if the new issue is there, so I can read about Peyton Manning and the Colts, Carlos Delgado, and they even had a story about the Raptors a week or 2 ago...
Today I checked my mail and there's the thickest issue yet... I'm thinking cool... lots of sports to read on a boring Friday nite....
But I just opened it up and guess what... its the Swimsuit Issue... no sports in there at all... just women in skimpy bikinis from cover to cover...
I feel ripped off... what do women in bikinis have to do with sports?....
Any other subscribers out there feel ripped off? | |

It's utterly outrageous! I swear I'm making my bikini out of band aids this summer and saving myself a bundle! (And probably covering more skin too!)
...er... this was the point right? | |

Posted: 2/16/2007 5:28:23 PM | U will get your regular issue too and if u know anything they always have a swimsuit issue its kinda famous and a bit of trivia this is the first time a supermodel has not been on the cover and the best pics are the athletic couples so think positive!!!!! | |

You just gotta find a cute guy to go halfies with you like I did! Only fair, he got to look and I get to wear it,teehee.
@ Malcolm, the hand lotion won't stop the pages from sticking together though, me thinks. | |

Posted: 2/16/2007 10:48:35 PM | I was totally pissed as well. In protest, I cut each and every photo out of the magazine and pasted them on the wall in the locker room!!!
I hope everyone in the locker room gets the message.... we're not going to take this!!!!!!

Posted: 2/17/2007 10:21:11 AM | If you are serious about not getting the annual Swimsuit issue that has been a staple of Sports Illustrated for over 25 years, you can call subscriber services and ask not to receive that issue.
I get very offended by it of course, but can never find that toll free number to call. LOL
Seriously, you can request not to get it when it comes out every February. | |
