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

Mercutio · 27th September 2007, 07:52 PM

New World Record!

For...largest bikini photo shoot.

A) I live in the wrong Hemisphere.

B) the guy in picture 4 of the gallery...Oh, my....

Zep · 27th September 2007, 08:48 PM

Just another day in paradise...

Space_Ed · 27th September 2007, 10:43 PM

oooh yeah.... lol

Thats fantastic. You wouldn't see that on Englands sunny shores... well not quite like that!

rjh01 · 28th September 2007, 02:46 AM

Warning. May not be very safe for work. The link goes to a photo of women wearing bikinis.

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.

kerikiwi · 28th September 2007, 02:11 PM

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 · 28th September 2007, 11:49 PM

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

kittykatkarma · 29th September 2007, 01:10 AM

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.

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.

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.
