Sports Illustrated 2006 Swimsuit issue is out today



Sharapova in a bikini? Sold!

Finally some good news in sports. The most widely read single issue of a magazine is hitting the newstands today. Did you know that 60 Million people read the swimsuit issue every year? And about 5 Million actually pay for it. At 6 bucks a pop, that’s almost enough to cover the paychecks some NBA players are stealing! And I tell you, it is worth every penny.

This year, in addition to the glossy, you can get content from the swimsuit issue on your cell phone. Or even better, you can download one of eight videos via iTunes to your ipod. Hot supermodels in bikinis beats hockey highlights any day. If you buy the magazine, you’ll even get a code to download one video for free. I knew the internet was making our lives better.
