Photograph from Sports Illustrated of Jessica Gomes with a dead sailfish
Apparently some folks find it appalling that a hot topless woman would pose with a dead sailfish slung over her shoulders. Sports Illustrated latest Swimsuit edition has a photograph of model Jessica Gomes wearing a dead sailfish. Am I heartless? I’m trying to see why everyone is making a big stink about this…
We see photos every day of fishermen posing with the fish they caught. Is it ok for them to pose with the fish because they caught them? How do we know that Jessica Gomes didn’t go on a fishing charter before the shoot? Madagascar I’m sure has a bountiful fishery.
I’d like to get everyone’s opinions on this. Please let me know what you think in the comments below. Positive or negative I think this is a good discussion to have.
