ARod in a Speedo? It’s not for me

We have women getting killed and captured in front-line combat. Sadly, I have learned to live with that. I am commonly forced to frequent unisex bathrooms. I can handle that. I might accidentally stumble across two men marrying each other in Massachusetts next time I visit. I’ll deal with it.

But now I read that this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition features Alex Rodriguez, Petr Nedved and Eddie George, amongst others. This I cannot stomach.

The last bastion of conservative and gender appreciative society will be forever dead when I take my car into Big Tony’s Brake &Muffler and have to schedule my next visit by perusing a calendar featuring A-Rod smiling back at me in his skin-tight, skimpy Speedos.
