The article walks through SI's digital workflow of Super Bowl XXXVIII as it sorts through the 16,183 digital pictures shot by eleven of the magazine's staff photographers and the process all the way to the cover of the magazine. Sorry, no Janet Jackson or swimsuit pics in this article."

/. geeks are confused

[grub]

All around the world /.'ers are looking at sports pictures and saying:

So that's are what other people look like...

What's that bright round thing in the sky in some of the pictures? It doesn't look like any fluorescent light I've ever seen!

How can I IM those cheerleaders "A/S/L?"

Is there a torrent for those million-plus pictures?

www.john316.com isnt a geek site! Who is that guy?

It was a *big* film - we took the getting paid option, so you'll have to guess which :-)

Well, it's pretty obvious:

a) You aren't too keen on telling anyone what movie you were associated with.

b) After paying you, they had no money left over in the budget for decent actors.

Gigli , right?

I assume that you are a more conservative person than I. While I respect your right to feel whatever you like:

1) Kids see nudity. Whether it's walking in on mommy and daddy in bed, a parent changing, whatever.... unless an adult freaks out about it, it's generally not a big deal. Worst case, they might ask some questions about anatomy that they'll need to know the answers to anyway.

2) "being offended" is really your decision. Another person can't offend you. (for example, A friend might jokingly say "Hey, asshole" and I'd laugh. A stranger does it and I might get mad. The reaction is MINE, not the speakers.

3) Honestly, it's a complicated and rough world. Perhaps if kids weren't shielded from it as much they would be more well adjusted. As it is, people lose their minds over a breast. God forbid we have 6 billion of them on the planet...
