LeBron and Vogue Respond to the Controversy

After the King Kong inspired cover on the April Vogue issue starring LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen, controversy has sparked a wind-fire among black blog sites and message boards. Now, Vogue and James is speaking out on what some are saying is a racist rendition of the over sexed white girl loving black man.

Here's an excerpt from the article:

Vogue spokesman Patrick O’Connell said the magazine “sought to celebrate two superstars at the top of their game” for the magazine’s annual issue devoted to size and shape.

“We think Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen look beautiful together and we are honored to have them on the cover,” he said.

James told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer he was pleased with the cover, saying he was “just showing a little emotion.”

“Everything my name is on is going to be criticized in a good way or bad way,” James told the paper. “Who cares what anyone says?”
