Cosign. Since it is a sports magazine, would they have felt better if D-Wade's hands was on the model's butt instead of Ye? They still would have complained. They just want to see the models. And they are mad because SI decided to do something different than the normal.

The only complaint that I have of the pic is that it is not my butt that Ye is grabbing.

A whole lot of ado about nothing. SI will get more subscriptions because of this--folx will want to see what the next controversy will be. I say ignore it and let it die. And boo to Kanye and Beyonce for posing, especially Kanye. Don't you know that "SI doesn't care about Black folx," except as a marketing tool?

I've looked around and can't find this type of story anywhere else. However, sometimes it does take this kind of stuff a couple days for Drudge to break it. Or it could be false.

I think Jon and shinerbock are right . . I couldn't really find anything on this either.

I did locate the original blog and from the way it is written, this is all a UL in the making. IMHO of course.
