    Looks like they stopped letting you post on their FB page so people are responding to their posts about it over and over.  LOL.

      And making themselves look like idiots in the process.  Yes, they'll really take you seriously if you keep doing that.

        Lol, I noticed that when I went on their page out of curiosity. All their posts as far as I can see beginning this morning are being attacked.

         

         

        Exactly what I meant about faux moral outrage.  Self will still continue to sell magazines, no matter how much people complain, and everyone will move on and forget about what happened.

         

        Plus, spamming/trolling every post they put up isn't going to help your cause; if anything, it just makes you look like an idiot.

            Ironically, she bears a striking resemblance to Linda Carter in this shot.

                These two women actually look awesome and fit and happy and I bet they and their tutus can kick a lot of guys' butts on this forum.

                  I'm not sure who exactly is the cancer survivor, but they both look great.

                     That there is a magazine putting its foot in its mouth.

                     

                    Also ironic since it seems like the type of person that would race in a tutu is also part of the magazine's target readership.

                    It would be like if ESPN Magazine ridiculed guys who feel the need to watch the same highlights over & over again on every edition of SportsCenter. NTIWKAAT.

                      That is probably part of why I'm not such a big fan, I see the back view of too many of the tutus.

                          Self would have had a field day this past Friday. I wa passed by someone dressed as Wonder Woman and someone else dressed as Moses.

                            You might think Jesus would have a hard time running with that cross, but I bet he nailed it

                              Hell, I'll volunteer to let them do that.     Of course, if there was any time I inadvertently ended doing the same race with them I'd probably never see them on the course anyway at my slow pace, I'm sure they would be way ahead of me.  Good for them!

                               

                              The heck with the magazine.  A battle against cancer is not only physical, it's mental too; and so you do things that help you boost your morale, your attitude and your perseverance in not giving up.  If wearing a tutu is one of the things that helps her mentally get through the battle then more power to her and her tutu.  I agree with what someone here said, the article was probably supposed to be 'tongue-in-cheek' but the idiot writers sure picked a really bad target for it...the magazine definitely did not do their research.
