Dear Admin...

[Speed Devil]

I am quite offended that the picture is sooooooooo small.

I second that. Very badly designed. The banner that is' date=' not the girl.

I agree. They got to think of the older generation with ailing eyesight.

Purplefox' date=' you a roadie ?  [/quote'] \

 

Must be a bunny/tree hugger so therefore a muddy person.

Hey listen here, if this muddy person (me) saw a half naked gal riding through a forest my training routine would double

Come now guys.... she posted a valid issue! What if we started posting pics of nude guys? You would complain. But, sadly you guys are so attracted by our upper bodies that you use cheap tactics to sell products. I mean, what does a woman's body have to do with these products???

Please dont change this into another one of your porn threads.

You gals should actually be taken all this as a compliment

Why? So porn is a compliment? Hmm.... so rape is also one?? Love your thinking!

[Gasping]

I think we need a definition of pornography.

 

I agree that there is no logical link between the fine upstanding young lass and the products being offered.

 

To call it pornographic is a little extreme. Stupid and irrelevant, yes! Porno? Uh-uh.

 

But you are right, one man's bikini clad lady is another man's hardcore.

 

I was just voicing an opinion not having a go at Purple Fox. He/She posted his/hers and I/me posted mine.

point taken - but - that being said, i have to put up with my wife crooning about "mcdreamy" and the rest of them!

[TiBones]

Hey Moab, It's not "sadly". Yes we ARE attracted and yes, based on that attraction clever, scheming ad execs will exploit it for what it's worth. What attracts you to a specific product? How many women out there buy wonder bra or the latest from La Senza to look good. To perk up the assets. Now ask those girls why. So that they look attractive? To who? Their men? Any man? C'mon - we like things. You  like things.Lets not make this about exploitation

[Stretch]

clearly i dont buy lingerie for my wife as I had to google la senza!

Rape and Porn are two different things all together, but having bikini clad gals in an advert is ok

What about our beaches, how many of them have gals in thongs, and how many of them have topless bathers?, and then we get the nude beaches around the world, that's porn in the flesh right in front of you

[Gasping]

I think TiBones had the best comment on this.

 

Unless you are wearing polo necks (baggy ones) or button shirts done all the way to the top, you must be exceptionally naive to think I won't find you attractive/interesting. it is the way we were designed - men like women (generally).

 

As far as getting the R word in here, well that kills the discussion. I read my wife's Cosmo form time to time - that makes me a cow in the same way that reading/looking a porn makes me a rapist.

 

Moo!

 

No offence intended to either of the three genders or any posters to this thread.

Sorry... I was using extreme logic. Got a reaction though  Simple thing is that some of us gals doing like to see half nude women whist on a cycling forum .

 

Give us bike porn any day!

[GTfan]

I know of quite a few couples who watch porn together to spice up their sex life, so does that make them rapists??

[SwissVan]

 

I tend to agree with PurpleFox, not so much on moral grounds tho?<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The advertising with ?suggestive none related to the topic pictures? debate can be argued for days....fact it is an effective advertising tool.

 

I'm no prude but TBH I just don't like don?t like the idea of suggestive pictures or any advertising for that fact that has nothing to do with the actual topic (cycling for example) popping up.

 

Another issue, imagine the impression this gives to others in the office, at home ect?who see these adverts on your screen, meanwhile all you?re your doing is following a cycling thread?
