Default CNN.com links gone wild

I realize this is a link to a SI page. I realize some people consider this a 'sport' unto itself. But honestly, it's the LAST thing I expected to see on the CNN front page. The 'article' itself doesn't even have text associated with it!

that IS big sports news, considering we are in the part of the year where there's not much interesting sports events going on. not too many people care about baseball playoffs, and it's too early in the football season to be too excited about it.

Somewhere, some low man on the SI totem poll pitched this idea to his superiors:

"I got this great idea for an article."

"What's it about?"

"About? There's no story, no plot, no characters, no real 'news' for say. I'm just gonna post my SFW cheerleading pics from my spank bank."

"That's the best idea ever, get CNN on the phone!"

That's what I'm thinking. There's enough makup there to repaint the sistine chapel twice over. Cheerleaders were a lot better looking in highschool.
