So, this is Ok for her to do? So it's Ok to allow the Olympics to be used to further ones political and personal values?
You don't think the Chinese government wanted to host the Olympics to further their political values? I certainly do! He's right, the time to 'just compete' has passed.
I will agree with you that I won't care what pet cause Amanda Beard pimps as I watch her and the rest of the American swimmers hopefully decimate the field. I may, however, look at the picture when I get home.
Everytime we turn around these days Beard is dropping trou for cash so the fact that her latest strip is for PETA really doesn't impress me from a cause perspective. I have no issue with her stripping for money. I just don't think it is any sort of big statement or noble cause to think that all you have to offer the world is your nekked body. But, the internet was created for porn by Al Gore, so I'm probably wrong.
The Olympics have always been about 51% sport, 48% politics, 1% unknown (curling and badminton). Anyone who doesn't think the Olympics and politics don't go hand in hand hasn't watched any Olympics since Grecian times or Roman times, whenever it started.
There goes Geek bashing curling again... :)
In all honesty is "don't wear fur" really a major political statement? Boy, it seems awfully tame (no pun intended) to me.
Good for Amanda! I see nothing wrong with using one's assets to make a point. Important women throughout history have done this. Bravo, Amanda for having the guts and courage to take a stand!
I wonder if there's a poster (for Sale or Download) of Lady Godiva........
Well said. Pose nude all you'd like but don't make inane statements about how empowering it is for others. Or about how we wouldn't know that you are sexual without seeing your personal equipment.
At the very least, let's have some equal time (and equal acceptance) for those of us more interested in the seductive nude male than the Playboy playmate!:banana:
Huh? Did I miss something from the last two years? I don't recall Amanda saying that it was empowering for women to pose nude or that women should do it to empower themselves. Did she make the comment that somebody is not sexual unless they show their personal equipment?
