Has anyone seen the Radio Times cover 21-27 July???

[all4u]

My RT arrived in the post this morning and my DS 16 opened it with enthusiasm as it's the first of four Olympic editions. The look on his face got my attention then I saw the cover and my jaw dropped! Now I am not a woman of colour or religious but OMG it must have been a man who signed off on this... I shudder to think of this on London newstands when all our foreign Olympic athletes and visitors hit town. What do others think? Am I being prudish or unreasonable? (It is going in a cover btw)

no but very curious what it is now. Trying to google, but not having much luck

haven't seen it - what's on the cover?

Very curious - also tried google but nothing to be found

Ours is someone on a BMX bike

Nothing controversial to see here!

Picture of a male diver on ours. What's on yours?!

There's a male diver, a female hurdler, a male gymnast and a BMX biker . I assume the OP doesn't like the hurdler, but from the tiny picture I've got I can't see the problem.

so it's a 'lunchbox in lycra' thing that you're objecting to OP?

It might help if you say what the problem is...

Here are some RT covers it looks like they are using 4 different pictures of athletes in 4 versions of the cover - so maybe different people are getting different covers?

Which one did you get all4u? It's hard to see if there is anything to get excited about in any of the photos.

I've got the cover with the female hurdler. My first (and only, actually) thought on seeing it was 'hurray, a female athlete!' (after having been watching the 'Faster, Higher, Stroger' series on the BBC which seems to have mysteriously omitted women from the entire history of the Olympics, with the exceptionof gymnastics).

I fail to see what being religious or a woman of colour has to do with anything?

Can you link to a picture?

Fanjo - I've just posted a link above.

Eh? What's to see?

I don't get it.

so must be something to do with female athlete- but not sure what???

I don't get it either. What's the 'woman of colour' thing about? I can't make out on my screen what race/colour most of the people on those covers are, but don't see anything obviously objectionable about them. Or anything anti-religion.

It's a bunch of athletes doing athletic stuff . That's what the Olympics is about, right?

Where's the OP gone?

Really can't see anything to object to?

just seen pics, just what I thought someone being over sensitive to .... well ...... nothing actually.

It must be a different picture to any of the ones above, if it's "going in a cover". The ones above are just of athletes.

(sorry, maybe the OP just meant that was going in a cover in their house?)

I'm intrigued.

I've got the hurdler cover, what's wrong with it? And what's the colour of my skin got to do with it? Please come back and explain!

I've got the hurdler cover. The breasts on the athlete are a bit Lara Croft on close inspection. Is that the concern?

is there a camel toe situation?
