My buddy tells me Sports Illustrated 2010 has swimsuit model Genevieve Morton straddling warbirds in the Mojave? Who's holding out on us?

Why I like my job???? C'mon. Come clean out there. :Hangman:

The Huffington Post tried to make a big deal about the swastika kill marking on the P-47 she was standing on.
Here's their nonstory http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/12/sports-illustrated-swimsu_n_459958.html

What idiots, the photographer came back to them and explained what they meant, they did add the info to their piece.

Sometimes I think that the Huffington Post and Rush Limbaugh were separated at birth-both of them say what they say to sell advertising. Period. I see them both as low rent entertainment at best.

I checked out the link, and they had a "Quick Poll" under the short article. Three out of four who responded to it said they were not bothered at all by the photo.

Is this photograph acceptable?

No. Not only is it in poor taste and unnecessary, it's offensive. 26.36%

It doesn't bother me. 73.64%

I posted a link to a video of the photo shoot on Warbirds-Online a few days. Beware though, it might be NSFW

Scott: Something was wrong with your link. I didn't see any airplanes in the images.

Except that Rush supports our military, whilst most HuffPost people loath it. Just a SLIGHT difference.

The German swastikas painted below the fuselage on the plane represent the confirmed kills by American pilot Lt. R. H. Parker during World War II.


So the kill flags were painted on the ground?
