I was wondering what people thought about the pictures that Amanda Beard posed for in FHM. I was talking to a friend a couple of years ago and she was telling me that she thought that Amanda had "sold out". At that time I was only aware that she was modeling for speedo and other sports related products.
I went into 7-11 this week and there she was on the cover of FHM and in my mind that definatly crossed the "sold out" line. It doesn't change the fact that she's a great athlete but I don't think I take her seriously anymore. What would you think if Gary Hall Jr. posed in a magazine like that in those poses? Would you be able to take him seriously or look at him the same way?
"She has signed a $1 million contract to advertise Speedo’s Axcelerate line. Throw in endorsement deals with Oroweat Bread, Red Bull and Penta water, and a signature line of fragrance products, and Amanda can earn up to $100 million by 2010." - FHM
I just don't understand with all the money that she's raking in already, why there was a need to pose..... How about Vogue Amanda? That's sexy!
Whatever......

Right, but as my dad once told me, as a parent you worry about everything.
my mom says, "educating teenagers is like nailing jello to a tree."
kind of lets you off the hook from all the worrying. the best way to educate your children is through good example, and this includes drinking patterns... etc.
just my 2 euros! :cool:

Did you ask your mom why she would know so much about nailing jello to a tree? :confused:

January is not that far off. I think your time would be better spent in the pool training for the 500. It will be very embarassing when you lose to a middle aged man.
Does racing this weekend in the putrid brown 90 degree waters of Lake Norman for 1.2 miles count as training?
Is Francesca Piccinini, an Italian volleyball player, dubbed the "world's Sexiest Athlete" a sellout?
Not to take anything away from another scintillating Geek/Gull smackdown cage match, but a quick Google search of the aforementioned volleyballer will find you some calendar photos from Men's Health Italia, one of which features her in a pair of swim goggles. And not much else. Makes Amanda's shots look like high school yearbook stuff.
The europeans have such a nice, healthy attitude toward sex and the human form. Viva Italia.
(Of course, the european birth rate is declining. Maybe we should send them Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, and Paris Hilton. Just a thought.)

Hey, what happened to the picture of Francesca?
Possibly banished in the same manner as big boy Speedo man that shows up from time to time on this forum.
Pigeon80 is correct, those were rented props for the weekend. As I type I'm burning gull a CD of favorite pop hits of the Civil War to add to his geezer Stones collection.
Cruise - you're back on the list. I'll have to beat you down like I did poor pitiful gull.

That sounds like something out of Fear Factor or Survivor to me. Good luck with that though.

...and I was surprised to find a few cuts from the Stones (Start Me Up, Shattered, Brown Sugar, She's So Cold) included in the mix.
I thought you were a cardiologist but apparently you are a geriatrician.
However, it does beat the endless supply of country music my wife and kids subject me to.
