these comments are really dark. they're a cool band and it's a cool cover that doesn't submit to the horrible prerequisite that mag covers have to have models on them. doesn't make her a role model. or perfect. it just makes it novel.

surely the point is that this is a cover based on talent - not looks - for once. surely that premise is good? also, the fact she is naked is a punk 'two-fingers' at any who thinks you have to be a model to be acceptable to be on a mag cover. wrong - anyone should be - regardless of body type. the early loaded mags had jack nicholson and steve mcqueen on the cover - but none sold as many as page 3 girls. and the rest is history.
