Default Shock! Horror! How could Pirelli do this?

Sit down before reading this, lads.

But the models in the 2013 Pirelli calendar are all - wait for it - clothed!

What has the world come to? How has political correctness stormed this last citadel of taste, discernment and, ah, performance?

No comment yet from Silvio Berlusconi, but I've logged a Google alert.

A sign of the times. i've never been on the list to get one so no great loss for me.

If you want to look at girls without their clothes on there is this thing called the internet.

Twenty thousand copies of the calendar will be printed – and less than 200 come to Australia – but none are for sale. They are all given to a secret list of VIPs as gifts. But of course one calendar is already listed on eBay for about $1000.
Go to your local bar, find a decent girl, for $1000 im sure you could buy enough drinks to win her over. Then you can really undress her.

If your married/gf, hell a $1000 shopping spree.. nuff saud

Except after $1000 of drinks you'll probably be doing it in a hospital bed.

Probably more complaints from women. Maybe its time for next year's firefighters calender to show the fellas also with full clothing on instead of the partially clothed versions we have had over the years. That will also upset the women too.....

When I was supporting the fire fighters up here in QLD we had a scantily clad women calendar to raise funds for them.

Put it up at work and the manager took exception to it... asked us to take it down...our response was "But madam, it was endorsed by the Department, it would be a shame to take it down and thus not show our support, no?"

Many women probably would have complained. I know many people who dislike the idea of men staring at women's bodies in such a way.

I find these half-dressed women get in the way of what I'm interested in...

$10 buys you a copy of 50 shades of grey from Big W. Great book, not that I will ever read it.

Just dont tell her I spent around $600 adding to the tool collection over the past two months!

I just put up my post as a weak joke.

I'm a bit surprised at some of the heavy replies. But it's a free country.

Probably best if I keep my responses to myself.
