I hate that so many simply default to celebrities. Don't you ever get tired of people recycling the same predictable faces over and over again? Plus, the argument I already made, that swimsuit models otherwise having an undue advantage, as evidenced by the two prior winners (Rafaeli and Maran.) How many supermodels do you think will be left at #64?

I vote we try something new this year and see how it goes. But again, if you guys feel otherwise, put it to a vote.

It is. I may have to rethink my next selection and pick someone who looks even better naked.

hmmm, let's cap it at topless. Thanks

I think the tournament was better without nudity personally.

I kind of agree. Aren't we voting for the most beautiful woman, not the sluttiest?

I definitely agree

If you guys feel strongly enough about it, perhaps setup a poll and put it to a vote? At least now we know we can do this. Whether we want to or not is the next question.

My feeling is that if the majority share you're sentiments (and I suspect they do) it will be reflected in the drafts and the outcome of the competition, with or without censorship.

It's like in basketball. Perhaps you want your team to draft the most skillful players, not just the most athletic, but is that to say you want athletic guys banned from the draft?

In sum, allow me to pose a simple philosophical question. If you think a SI model is the most beautiful woman in the world and I think a Playboy Bunny (or other) is, should we not be able to pitch them against one another in competition for the majority to determine?

here's a good example... my work browser reset the "images: turn off" function to "turn on" and I clicked on this to turn in my picks. It's one thing of some bikini picks slip through accidently, it's another when jugs slip through, and it is yet another when somone really tries to push the envelop. I have to make some of these choices while I'm on the clock do to the time difference, not that I would enter the Alba thread on the clock either

Also, while I understand we only *know* of a couple female posters, I do think that implimenting the NSFW aspects alters the thread from "boys being boys" to borderline misogyny.

dude, last year's winner, Josie Maran, had the trashiest photo of the whole contest. the one where she's sucking milk out of a cow's teet and looks like she has ejaculate dripping down her chin:

no titties (except cow titties) necessary and this pic, to me, is more misogynistic than any of the topless pics posted so far.

This proves what? I don't think this pic was posted last year; at least I never saw it. That pic is just kinda tasteless and probably would've been removed with or without the topless restriction. Strawman argument for sure. eViL, you can do better.

If you argument is that not all offensive pics involve nudity, well I would've thought that was obvious.

i saw the pic at some point in the competition. i don't recall when.

i don't know man. i just think a tasteful shot of a naked woman is no worse than bikini or lingerie shot. i just don't get the line that's being drawn. a pic of a woman with a see-through shirt, where you can see some nipple, or, a bikini pic, where the nipple is clearly present through the top, and it's ok. but a bare breast is not.

honestly though, i'm more concerned now with the fact that i've been arguing in the chick pics thread. that makes no sense. back to fun times.

Just a difference of opinion. It's fair to say that maybe it shouldn't be the line, but it's one we're used to. I agree with SC's concern that it might chase off the few females that do occasionally post here.

Anyway, I agree, let's get back to fun times. Keep the draft going. I still have one more pick.

you're right... because while I "get it" it went right over my head because I just think it's gross
