What do you think about the US Vogue cover with Lebron James and Gisele?

Many are saying that it perpetuates sterotypes about the wild, savage manbeast with his damsel in distress. (I'll post the King Kong pic later)

And they also could have had this other photo to choose from.

Well look at what it says, "World's Best Bodies"

I see it as telling men, you need to be big and strong, and girls need to look toned, now I act on this stereotype a lot so I can't really say much about it, nor talk down to it.

I appreciate they picked a very healthy looking model, and not a stick.
