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?

    And LBJ: What math nerds are you talking about? You mean girls don't throw themselves at math nerds? No they throw THINGS at math nerds. I mean, how many times did you help some sweet young thing with her math homework only to have her tell you she thought of you like a brother? -LBJ

    Put him in time out Matt. Very smooth smokescreen tactic there BritBoy....Considering I was responding to a post you made that was completely about futbol and had nothing to do with the thread topic......Like Robert Dinero told Ben Stiller in Meet The Parents....I'll be watching you!! :thhbbb: Top be on topic now (and NOT in violation of hijacking protocol): Yaeh that Amanda Beard chick is a hottie!! I will be "reading" all about her in that playboy issue for sure of course LOL! :rofl: :rofl: So Matt ....Do I get my 2 demerits back now?? Bork
  • As I alluded to earlier....even Disney gets in on the act...what used to be a haven of innocence now has stuff that gets me confused by it's message. Don't even get me started on Disney! They are not the clean, family oriented, morally guided company they used to be. Money talks....
  • Of course it's her choice. And it's a lot of money to walk away from. Unfortunately, it does nothing to alter the message our society, through the media, is sending to our daughters. Not that she needs to be concerned about that. No...she's not concerned. She is obviously cashing in on her celebrity status while she can. But, as the mother of 2 girls...I am very concerned. The funny thing is that both my daughters...without me saying anything... don't think real highly of Amanda. They have both called her a "skank" because of some of the choices she has made in the past. Maybe I'm old fashioned...but I think our Olympic athletes should be held to a higher standard.

    Hi (meekly said), Just a comment from a chick. This Playboy thing is getting you all riled up in a way Hef did NOT intend :p I know this sounds really corny, but I'd buy it just to read what they say about her! And I agree that swimsuits are really a joke, they leave nothing to the imagination- really the only questions left unanswered are: how does one shave their naughty bits, and what color's the nip?!? :agree: :p And if that's what floats your boat (or anything else), whatever, to each their own. Your right Karen....Women's swim suits rock these days! (Not that I ever really noticed or anything...I mean I aint no DOM like Rich and Poolraat now!)

    OK, question, as I got to thinking (for a change): Why is the Playboy symbol a rabbit (bunny)? Why not some other cute animal, like, say, a beaver? Inquiring minds want to know. Seriously, is there a history? Beaver LMAO I have a 2nd cousin who was a Bunnygirl
