News / Chicagoland No one at the Sun-Times gets to complain about pandering ever, ever again
Posted by Whet Moser on 06.06.08 at 01:09 PM
The Sun-Times is like this-close to just taping dollar bills to the front page.
The online feature about hot fans (sorry, no link) is actually kind of creepy--nameless young women photographed by nameless photographers, and I doubt all the latter know all of the former. I would be lying if I said I was immune to photographs of pretty girls, but the whole thing feels kind of sketchy and stalkerish.* Didn't get far enough into the pics to see if any of the submissions of handsome young men, which is allegedly an option, actually made the cut. I'll be surprised.
*I have mixed feelings about street photography w/r/t invasion of privacy (I have a phobia about having my picture taken), but generally speaking I'll allow well-intentioned hobbies and arts some leeway. The above just seems loutish.

Well, so far on their website they only have photos of Cubs fans (mostly female with a couple of guys thrown in), so it's kind of a lopsided contest. Which means either Sox fans couldn't be bothers or other than the woman on the front page, there are no other "hot" Sox fans. But I beg to differ...
