They are making some assumptions here that no better body will come about in 2008...but I guess the 'best of' lists just keep coming out sooner.
Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli, who grabbed international attention last year for her relationship with Hollywood A-lister Lenoardo DiCaprio, has been named "Body of 2008" by British men's magazine Arena.Refaeli, 22, caused controversy last year for telling Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, "Why is it good to die for our country? Isn't it better to live in New York?"
The model decided to sue the newspaper for libel, after it published the interview in which she made the remarks under the headline "Bar Refaeli versus the State of Israel."

It's funny how they make no qualms about the objectification of such a list by calling it best body of 2008. At least they're honest?

the funniest part of the whole thing is that they are so sure that a better body wont come along some time during 2008. Or perhaps they are following the car industry and releasing the 2008 model in 2007. That would be the ultimate objectification.

Agreed.
