04/02 Morning Minute: Is The AFC North Looking Weak?
April 2, 2008Nope, No “Glue Guys” Here!
April 2, 2008Found this through The Big Lead’s Roundup. You probably have seen the Vogue cover with LeBron and Gisele on the front. You probably read Jemele Hill’s or Jason Whitlock’s commentary about whether or not this was a travesty or triumph for African-Americans. For full disclosure, I saw the cover in the store before I read or saw anything about the ‘controversy’, and the first thing I thought was that it had some resemblance to the King Kong poster and someone was going to have a fit over it.
Well, Vince at C-Notes has unearthed some other LeBron cover controversies that somehow got swept under the rug. This is a must read. Well played Vince, well played.

I’m actually kind of pissed that I didn’t think of this first… That’s great.
Yes, because this is exactly what SI was going for in that picture. Where do these people come up with these ideas? Lebron James in Vogue looks like King Kong… please knock it off.
Apparently Jason Whitlock needed something to get back on the soapbox. If you dig deep enough, you can find anything I guess.
Tom you need to check out the link for ‘other LeBron controversies’. C-Notes is poking fun at there being any controversy at all (hence the joke SI cover).
