Pretty judgemental attitudes from people who're regularly as naked as she is in this PETA picture.
Amanda has two jobs:
1. Professional swimmer
2. Model
The incremental difference between what Amanda wears at one job, professional swimmer, and what she shows in this ad related to her other job, model, is minimal.
She's barely showing more than if she wore a two-piece workout suit to training camp in this photo. Help me understand where the line exists between acceptable training gear and moral outrage.
She's entitled to feel strongly about whatever causes strike her as important, regardless of how the rest of us feel about them. She's also entitled to continue making a living as a model. This pic seems to raise awareness about a cause she cares about and probably advances her modeling career. There's nothing wrong with either/both.
I'm not a fan of PETA, but even as AB does benefit professionally from the spread, there's also something very cool about such an overt - and dare I say overtly American - display of free speech in Beijing, China.
As for taking her seriously, I'll bet there are some women in that 200 BR final in Omaha who wish they'd taken her a bit more seriously.
