Gisele is Harper Bazaar’s cover story for April and she had some interesting things to say about her new hubby, Tom Brady. 

In the cover story of Harper Bazaar’s April issue, Bundchen says Tom Brady, her new husband, is “very naive, almost like a child.”

“One thing that I thought was so amazing when I first met him is that he is innocent,” she adds. “He sees the world with colored glasses. He’s very strong and focused in his job, but he’s so sensitive.”

Awww. That is so cute. Tom Brady basically just got labeled “pretty, but dumb” by a supermodel who gets paid to just stand still and look nice. Brady always struck me as a bit of dumb jock, and this confirms my suspicions. He’s like a real-life Mike Kelso. Between those huge hazel eyes there’s nothin’ but space….and maybe a few throwing routes.

So Vogue magazine has, for the first time in its history, featured a black man on its cover (in fact, they’ve only had three men total on their cover ever). That man is basketball superstar LeBron James, pictured with supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

The photo has writers and bloggers up in arms.

Say the girls at Jezebel: LeBron “seems to be embodying ugly stereotypes about black men: The wild, savage, white-woman-obsessed beast.”

And over at Feministe, they’re saying that “I see a scary animalistic black man, a primal scream, and a beautiful white woman. Google image King Kong for a comparison.”

I dunno. Personally, I don’t see a problem with this image, but, personally, I’m not black. Gisele doesn’t look particularly concerned to be there (as the girl does in the King Kong image), and LeBron looks like an athlete about to kick some ass. Why do we see a world-class black athlete looking like he’s ready to throw down and think to ourselves “That’s an animalistic black man” rather than “That’s a fierce athlete”? Why is he a black man first and an athlete second? For chrissake, the guy has a basketball, not a switchblade. If that were Jason Kidd, no one would be all like “Oh look at the brutality of the white man,” they’d be like, “Oh, yeah, that basketball dude’s on the cover of Vogue. Gisele’s face looks fat. Wanna go to the mall?”

All the fuss surrounding this photo, to me, is just further evidence of racism.

I thought it was way more offensive when they used that horrendous photo of Jennifer Hudson. I think the big fuss is just because it’s the cover of Vogue, and Vogue has not exactly been known historically for embracing, ya know, other races.

What do you guys think?

Offensive? Yes or no?
