Sports Illustrated Set to Release First Ever Veil Models Issue AOL/Time Warner-owned Sports Illustrated has announced plans to release a version of its Swimsuit Issue aimed at the Afghani market. Featuring women donning veils and completely covered in black, the issue will cost the cash equivalent of 2 goats. Each veiled model, will be photographed in a locale exotic to Afghanis. Spreads include "inside an American kitchen," which features a veiled woman sitting on a counter top, in front of an open refrigerator, and next to a microwave. The issue has already been criticized by one member of an Afghani test group. "It has too many ads, and the models don't dress like real Afghani native girls .. you can see their ankles!"
