Swiminfo.com has released a post saying that Amanda Beard will be on the cover of the July issue for Playboy.
How do you think this will effect her image among the swimming communties? Will any of us purchase this issue because of her?

Are you kidding me SS? What other purpose is there for posing in a nudey magazine? And don't call it modeling.
Karen, I'm not saying I don't admire the female form, I do absolutely--I'm surprisingly normal. Do I only value women on their looks? Absolutely not. I find intelligent women very interesting--whether they're naked or not.
A picture of a naked woman is not objectification on it's own--is a naked mother and child shot lewd if I see nipple? It's like the people that berate mothers for beastfeeding in public--no matter how discreet they try to be--how is breastfeeding disgusting? I don't think the restroom is an appropriate venue for anyone to eat lunch in.
Anyhow I can't make you accept my morality or you make me accept yours. I can however say that I believe using negative euphemisms on a woman demeans all women (a la the Imus situation) and plays into the hands of those that truly repress women and wish to control them.
