notemily: katharinec: Sacha Baron Cohen’s GQ Cover is “Pornography” in NYC | Carnal Nation In NYC, the newsstand chain Hudson News recently declared that the issue would be treated as pornography, and would be sold with the lower half concealed. But, as both Gawker and Shakesville point out, this month’s issue of Esquire with Israeli model Bar Refaeli, above right, is not being sold “as pornography” by Hudson News, and you can easily find the two resting next to one another on Hudson’s shelves, Refaeli proudly flaunting it all to the passerby in Grand Central Station while Sacha is discreetly covered up. This makes me want to do an experiment where we put naked people of various sizes, shapes, ethnicities, genders, ages, etc. on magazine covers and see which of them get labeled “pornographic.”
