Is a Guinness world record a "current event"? (I love Australia)

[Mercutio]

The thoughts going through my head when I looked at those pictures:

"Wow.. That is reinforcing a high and unrealistic standard that most women couldn't meet. It is also kinda objectifying. I mean, most women wouldn't be caught dead in those outfits. They must have hired a lot of models. And look at how thin they are. And notice that this is for women, society doesn't place the same burden on men to be sexually gratifying objects of culturally constructed beauty..."

...

Jesus ****, I'm so gay.

The link directs us to the 'largest bikini photo shoot', but there is not a large bikini to be seen.

No. In Australia that is how many women in their 20s look. I doubt that they would have had to hire any models. Just advertise for women who are willing to be shot wearing a bikini.

Australia is a country in which to live. This is proof.

No. Those are sheep, not women.

Our sheep are better looking then those NZ sheep. They produce the best wool.

[Zep]

I'd just like to point out that on some public beaches here, these women would be considered "over-dressed"...

[kittykatkarma]

Such an astute observation.

What I'd like to know...

As you flip through the slideshow, what's up with the Leisure Suit Larry looking, speedo sporting, pot-bellied prize in the background of image #4?

Please, tell me that's not what all Aussie men grow up to look like when they're in their late 40's to early 50's. :eek:

Not that I would have room to talk... but then again, I woudn't be caught dead in a bikini of that style... urm... cut.
(Am well over 20.)

I'm at work and not going to Google for it, but wasn't there recently a world record nude photo attempt in Mexico City?

No, I don't know any of 'em that well.

I did find your one down the back passage, though:

Warning!I opened up that web page and immediately got a malaware popup. I'm now going to scan my computer.

I got a Windows error (didn't crash and no McAffee warning) when I clicked on the first link. I'd still like to click on the second link. Any warnings on that one?

[Hamradioguy]

Y'know, this sort of Guinness record sure makes a LOT more sense than than those "largest pizza" or "most number of golf balls held in one hand" thing.

Way to go Aussies!

[Zep]

Maslin's...Byron...

[Damien Evans]

Torquay...

Yeah, but are they the same as Maslin's?
