If they attempt to wage war against Pork, I'm going postal. Super-Villain Postal.

Jeff Pearlman is like an adult version of those smug SB Nation kids who get super red-ass on Twitter

 

Most of them aren't kids.

I'll be glad when we're all "over" Twitter.

 

He posted a blog today railing against the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, how he always hated it, even when younger.

The SI Swimsuit Issue | Jeff Pearlman

As a kid, I hated the Swimsuit Issue because it wasn’t sports—and I wanted to read about athletes.

As an SI employee, I hated the Swimsuit Issue because it was a mortifying piece of trash, and we had all these old editors who would hang swimsuit calendars above their desks. From the day I arrived at the magazine in 1996, this horrified me—the idea of female employees fighting for stories while having to speak with a boss whose chair was positioned beneath a 75-percent nude Heidi Klum.
​

Hated it as a kid? I don't believe you. Unless you're asexual, which doesn't seem likely bc he has a 13-year-old daughter.

Were the female employees complaining about the calendars at the desks of editors? Or is he just presuming that it made them uncomfortable?I bet if he were single, he'd write on his dating profile that he's a feminist -- and hence, never get laid. This kind of pious, PC shit is fucking lame in every particular.

 

Yeah, if there's one thing a female employee would be comfortable around, it's a calendar of mostly naked women in the boss' office. Anyone who didn't complain about harassment or objectification between the years 1950 and 2000 can be presumed to be OK with it. Especially them ho secretaries on Mad Men.

 

At one of my stops a guy had his cubicle plastered with glossy beefcake shots of mostly naked, oiled-up men.

I was told to take down a wire photo printout of a woman in a bikini. I did LOL then.

 

nailed it, thanks. Knew you'd be along with your social warrior standard flying high. Old guys who worked at SI liked the Swimsuit Issue? What a shock. A young kid saying he didn't like the Swimsuit Issue? You lying, son. Pearlman is probably one of those guys who'd never cop to looking at porn or jerking off. Sorry, but getting offended decades later by your boss's behavior is convenient bullshit. Was he bitching about the Swimsuit Issue while he worked there? If so, please link.

 

Thank you. It was about time someone put LTL in his place. I was getting really sick and tired of him always trying to take into consideration other points of view and life experiences instead of focusing on the only one that matters: men who like to jerk it to women in magazines.

 

And just as predictable, the other PC nonce chimes in. I suppose you two were disgusted by the swimsuit issue, too. What convenient, reprised bullshit. I don't believe Pearlman for a second, that's the point. He's trying to make himself look good in these oversensitive times by saying, "See, women, I was always on your side." Who's to say he's lying? How convenient.

 

Well, Jeff did write about it 8 years ago this week so it's not like he just made this pronouncement about the swimsuit edition.
