NONE at all.
As the other poster pointed out:
SI is home based in NYC.
Also in NYC: CBS ( local and National), NBC ( local and National), ABC (local and National), CNN, Fox News, CNBC, NY Times, NY Post, NY Daily News, News Day, Time, Newsweek, Bloomberg Business News, AP, Reuters, et al.

By now, someone would have picked it up and ran with it.

And if you have any thing else to show, please do.

There are two things that we might be missing family. The grand issue is that throughout the course of history, nothing sells like both, (1.)controversy and (2.) sex. The fact that SI was smart enough to market this issue correctly by placing both into one magazine, is a modicum of intelligence. They placed "B" on the cover because everybody loves her, and she's hot to def. They placed the new Dick Gregory on the inside because they knew that folks would wake up and pay attention, which I bet they thought, could have positively affected magazine sells. Those folks who are cancelling their subscriptions will be replaced by new readers. Me personally, I wouldn't have gone out like a clown and did it like he did it. Kanye needs to learn how to act as a man of distinction, versus wanting to be the walking billboard of all things controversial. I dig his talent, but not his actions in this case.

Your statement is very sound. But:
What controversy? I have seen it only here and the "blog".

What's up Jon?

It's been a while buddy boy. What made me say controversy was the fact that people are talking about it. Nothing more - nothing less. We'll see futuristically if any real controversy happens as a result of that picture. I truly think that if people are reacting to that picture, they should examine the true reasons why they may object to that picture. They should ask themselves what is it about the picture that's causing them to have issues with it.

Hummmm-Interesting and kind of true.
