Sports Illustrated SI 10 times as many copies

We live in a time when beach bodies are plastered on the covers of magazines throughout the year (see here and here from this month alone) and anyone with Internet access can find far more tantalizing photos (and videos) of women and men in various states of undress—which makes it all the more surprising that this issue gets so much attention. And while the fact that it’s used as a selling point to attract new subscribers is expected, it’s also a bit creepy (not to mention totally out of line with #feminism) for a sports magazine marketed almost exclusively at middle-aged men. We’re just happy Jon Oliver and his team at “Last Week Tonight” have started the conversation.
