I want to know which genius thought
that this picture was a good idea:

(image from Sports Illustrated)

He looks like he's wearing a glittery, gold-banded halter top.
And no pants.

(Thanks to KRISTEN for alerting me to this travesty.)

(There. HAPPY NOW? Heh.)

k-10 - Buck up, I've cited you.

I will not be accused of plagiarism!

Wow, that is totally what I thought he was wearing. Poor planning, SI photographer, poor planning.

Nice idea. Bad result.

While I think showing some pants would have been nice, he is imitating Spitz's SI cover when he won 7 gold medals.

anony - Ohhhhhh. Well, that makes sense. I still think that it looks strange, but I like that they're honoring Spitz in a way, too. SI didn't mention that (as far as I found), and I wish that they had.

(I was years from even being born when Spitz won his seven. So that's my excuse there.)
