Should Nazi Flag Belong In Same Picture With Objectified Hot Chick?
UH OH! "2010's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which includes such beauties as Israeli supermodels Bar Refaeli and Esti Ginzburg, includes a photo of a model posing near a World War II-era fighter plane, complete with Nazi swastikas." Before you get too outraged, do note that it's an American plane, the Nazi swastikas symbolize dead Nazis, the shot is online only, and people don't even jerk off to the Swimsuit Issue anymore, but, you know, it's coming from Haaretz. I guess we can give them credit for trying.

Speak for yourself.
It must be complicated when you go to the beach.

Why bother, when there's Guns & Ammo?
What's more difficult to jerk-off to: the SI swimsuit issue or the Victoria's Secret catalog? The Sears catalog never fails to come through.
What, they couldn't find some dead Hamas guys to photograph her next to?
Ya know, there's something so weird and fucked up and poignant and sad and metacritical of hetero masculinity about this shot. Here's Blondie McPantsless, wearing a typical disinterested model-face, posing in front of a vintage fighter that is itself emblazoned with a swimsuit girl mascot-only said mascot is collapsed in misery, clutching a letter presumably informing her of her fiancee's death over Germany.
Quick amateur parse: this speaks to some new hetero male self-loathing that seeks to obliterate guys from the equation of their own sex fantasies.
What's also funny is the photo is basically a confession of the SI beauty standard hidden in plain sight.
That bathing suit is historically inaccurate.
And architecturally flawed to boot.
