(Newser) – Serena Williams’ naked cover shot for ESPN The Magazine hits stands today, and Williams says she loves the picture, AFP reports. “They told me I had a great body and they wanted me to be on the cover so I was super flattered,” she says. “But I wanted to do it really classy and not trampy. I thought it was a really tasteful picture.”

This girl is marginally attractive at best. There are a couple of tennis Eurobabes who are far more fetching than ol' bignose. Reply

How come noone is allowed to say that her body is too dame big?! Well to me it is and I wish that when she played she wouldn't show so much T&A in her tennis outfits she wears and are 3 sizes too small for her and begin to cover up her huge ass that I know my black friends love but I don't! Let the thumbs down begin! Reply

Not from me, a big thumbs up for you. Why cant people see and tell the truth as it is - she is quite elephantine, with an ass the size of Saskatchewan, thunder thighs and a none too pretty face. What I am in awe of is the ability of Photoshop operators to make a babe out of someone as plug ugly as this creature. I saw her live at Wimbledon - quite frightening!

Are you serious? I mean, that's the Italian ethno-centric slur translation of the 'N' word...and I don't think you even spelled it correctly! A shocker considering your obvious powers of articulation and towering intellect...and are you even Italian-American? Or just an asshole?

LSA - if the word you're looking for is "moolinyans", then you're a bottom-feeding slime-sucking racist son-of-a-bitch. Is this what you're hearing at the dinner table from your bigot parents? What are you, 15? Get out of these comments and never come back, you pig bigot.

i'm getting sick of this constant parade of "regular people going edgy" with tease-y nude photos- it's like the new cute fad- i'm annoyed because women who make their living off their bodies FOR REAL get absolutely no respect at all, a fraction of the money they should be earning, and are treated as fairly as factory workers in 1910. seriously. great, she can hit a ball over a net so it's cute and quaint, what about the women who are fighting to support their child or go to school? the attitude amongst most americans is oh "those people" are just to be scoffed at as dimwitted whores, not deserving of workplace rights or proper pay. i know this viewpoint is unique and i will be not surprised in the least when the idiots start to dog my comments here- enjoy.

sorry- one more thought- this is really about the idea of the female form and in what ways it's "ok", "disgusting" or "tasteful"- these are all commodities. the real root issue is that the female form is powerful and for societal reasons people stupidly feel the need to quarantine the feminine aspect of "whore" from the feminine aspect of "mother". this latest craze of celebrities "getting edgy" basically says, 'hey look, i'm not a whore but i can creep close to that edge without going over and still remain tasteful, wink wink. (oh and marketable by the way)"- it may seem ok but in my opinion it's just a cop out- the road of "the whore" is about power- flirting with that power in this way is just a slap in the face to all women who have walked that road for real and most importantly: *giving credence to the unrealistic, patriarchal separation of the two faces of the feminine.

I think she is naturally attractive. However, just like the girls in Playboy, she has no doubt been photo shopped. Reply
