remember this?
But the image is stirring up controversy, with some commentators decrying the photo as perpetuating racial stereotypes. James strikes what some see as a gorilla-like pose, baring his teeth, with one hand dribbling a ball and the other around Bundchen’s tiny waist.
It’s an image some have likened to “King Kong” and Fay Wray.

I didn't see or read anything racial in the picture. But after I read the comments..well they have a point. I think people stereotype without being aware of it; a black athlete fits a certain image and a certain pose and they put him exactly where he fits. Is the photographer jewish??
im like you btw .. when i first saw the cover i didnt make anything of it or see anything wrong with it .. but after reading the article i can see their point ..
i guess only americans see it that way since their "programming" is different ..
