Is the new Vogue cover racist?

People can make a big deal about anything these days!

This Vogue cover with Gisele Bundchen and LeBron James is facing criticism that it may perpetuate racial stereotypes. Are you kidding me?

Some bored bloggers and over analytical conservatives say that James' bared teeth and hulking pose with one arm slung around Bundchen's waist, reinforces the stereotypes of black athletes as savage animals.

Rather than relishing the moment of being the first black man on the cover of Vogue, LeBron finds himself defending the Annie Leibovitz photo.

"It wasn't a situation we're being rough or looking mean," James said. "Just showing a little emotion. We had a few looks, and that was the best one we had ... Everything my name is on is going to be criticized in a good way or bad way. Who cares what anyone says?"

Vogue magazine's people seem to agree.

"We think LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen look beautiful together, and we are honored to have them on the cover," Vogue spokesman Patrick O'Connell said.

It looks like it is going to be a slow news day!!
