Tiffany Fallon: Wonder Woman Vs Feminist?

This is the dumbest story on line. A hottie covered in body paint makes the cover of Playboy. Problem? Yes. The body paint is a Wonder Woman Costume. A fantasy for men, but what does this mean for women? Is this a silent blow that's detrimental to women? Of course not. This should not be a controversy. So why all the hoopla?

Tiffany Fallon is the classic American hottie. She was a former cheerleader for the Atlanta Falcons. She won the Miss Georgia USA 2001 title, and later represented the state in Miss USA 2001. In 2005, Fallon posed for Playboy magazine, and became Playmate of the year. Her most current job, is co host on IFL Battleground.

The fuss: Tiffany Fallon made the cover of Playboy magazine body painted as Wonder Woman. Being the most revered super heroine of comic books, and adopted as a feminist icon, women (or at least the press) are crying foul at the sensualization of the comic icon.

Why Care: Every time some holier than thou soccer mom in Corntown, Middle America gets offended by something on a TV show, they traditionally start some silly campaign to rid the airwaves of "said" bad programming. And the eventual retaliation response from both true fans, actors, etc is = turn off your TV. If people don't watch a show, why the hell are they so up an arms?

I went through that long analogy to ask a pertinent question. "Who reads comic books?" Let's be serious, and realistic. Very few women, and very few children read comic books. I guess it's unfortunate that some women will have to develop thick skin when they hear men in the comic book store drooling over Tiffany Fallon as Wonder Woman. But, I suspect these comic book reading women, already have the tolerance to deal with their male counterparts after years of Psylocke, Red Monika, Batgirl, Lucy Lui, Britney Spears, Pussycat Dolls, etc.

To be brutal and surpass even the sexy Playboy cover, DC Comics could portray Wonder Woman monthly as a purveyor of casual sex if they wanted. And what impact would all these critics, feminist, and journalist have? None, because they don't buy Wonder Woman, much less comic books. So they can shut up.
