I hate to be a curmudgeon, but I am.

Sorry folks, but I have to speak up.

The Org fancies itself a family friendly site, and doesn't cotton to cursing or threads of a sexual nature.

That being said, there are an awfully lot of breasts and other crack in avatars. Now, I'm not opposed to looking at such things, but it seems to me that it doesn't jibe with the policy of the org.

If the powers to be pooh pooh my concerns, I will gladly shut up on the subject.

I suggest everybody rate this thread one star.

[from Margaritaville...]

My avatar isn't wearing any pants...

[callisto9]

in an odd way, i have to agree with this. as much as i have no problem with that stuff, i've seen people penalized for far less on here. i've got huge knockers myself, but there's a time and a place (myspace, for instance).

i'm with ya: enough with the boobs already.

/me waits to get flamed.

[digitalputty]

You can see worse on the TV. And, who here has never seen cahoonahs, ah-tas, etc. before?

[from Margaritaville...]

me bans me-self...

[digitalputty]

and what about Colbert hot sexah stuff? HRMMMMMM!?

[neko]

Mhhhh ... I wonder if this is about that mooned *****cat avatar that I see every now and then....

Wait a sec.. that's me !!! Bad Neko , Bad Bad Neko

[from Margaritaville...]

I don't see Neko wearing any pants either...band...I mean banned

[gilligan]

my avatar is a Democrat I suppose you want to ban them also?

[from Margaritaville...]

DONE!

[Beetlemania]

As far as the family-friendly comment, I suppose I do understand what you're saying. In fact, sometimes I get a bit self-concious about the comments I make. I guess it doesn't bother me so much personally, being that I don't have kids, so they can't see the site. I guess I'll say your post is well-stated.

Along those lines, can we get a non-family-friendly section?

Now, to contradict myself, I've read by rather "important people" around here that if it's okay for TV it's okay for the site, and I haven't seen or read anything that goes beyond that. In fact, it seems we can't even refer to oceanic liquids as sal****er. And someone heard "boobies" on Nickelodeon. So there.

Boobies.



I'm done now.

Well, as this site is supposed to be "family friendly" I guess I'd have to say "my ten year old son"

Just making argument for the sake of it.

Like I said...I don't mind personally...it simply feels like a bit of a double standard.

Well, there's some stuff on TV that would NEVER be tolerated here.....for SURE.

I'd understand if there was naked breastseses(nipples showing) I'd I agree with you, but cleavage is seen everywhere even in G-Rated movies, programming etc...



Buttcrack, now that's a whole different thing that's not seen everywhere.

If it is agreed by staff that my avatar has to go, then I will change it

Stephen Colbert has nipples.

So does the other guy in the shower with him!

[scarabY2k]

Sorry to say, that I agree. As Erin stated and I agree, some have been repramanded for things far less, keeping in mind that the wrist-slap was in accordance to the org rules.

And yes you see things far worse on TV. But even the FCC has boundries-Allegedly.

Hey i'm a red-blooded male...I'll leave it at that. But even so, There are rules to adhere by and we should govern ourselves accordingly.

Woah, we're modding the mods again

Yes cleavage is everywhere. It's life. But how far does the envelope get pushed. Are we to have women wearing next to nothing ala 'Lil Kim and call it cleavage and say it's okay for the org. Although cleavage and all that goes with it is a beautiful thing, we really need to adhere to the rules of the org. If not the mods would be showing favoritism for some and shun/ban others which isn't fair.

[wawalker]

Personally, I don't mind looking at 'em at all.

But, I know for a fact some people here do and any reasonable person would have to admit that the org has been "tata overload central" of late--I'm actually in danger of becoming momentarily bored with tatas!

So, anyway, I move that the org get a "tata reduction", just in the interest of being neighborly and family friendly.

[digitalputty]

... I have no comment. *SURPRISE* haha...

[callisto9]

there are plenty of places to see boobs. boobs are freakin' everywhere. do we really need them plastered all over here, too? there is no shortage of boobs on the net (or on my chest), i just think lately, it's been a bit much.

if you must have your daily (or hourly) dosage of boobs, shoot, just google it. or go to myspace. or the 'tex. or look in the mirror. or check out your wife.
