Sexy calendars and pictures of topless models in tabloid newspapers really do lead men to think of women as objects, research shows.

At the same time, the region they use to try to tune into another person’s thoughts and feelings tunes down, brain scans showed.

Bar Refaeli Makes Cover for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition

Quite frankly the only time Sports Illustrated gets my attention is when the Swimsuit Edition comes out. And the prestigious 2009 cover went to 23-year old Israeli model Bar Refaeli. This time I might actually buy the magazine instead of sneaking off to the cleaning aisle at the Supermarket to sweatily paw through it. The missus gets terribly embarrassed and tells passers-by that I’m special.

For those remotely interested in fashion, Refaeli’ wears a string bikini by Missoni, the photo is modern, her hair and swimsuit look natural. You see her freckles. And so does Leonardo DiCaprio who happens to be her boyfriend. She’s been in the S.I.’s swimsuit edition three times already, but this is her first time on the cover. Blah blah blah. I know what you want, hit the jump already!
