Dude, don’t be putting nsfw stuff on the front page. Your article’s title has a warning, but the image shows up as soon as the front-page renders, so the warning comes too late.
a nipple? A partially blocked nipple?!?!?! Anything but that! I say we have no right to have ever, or ever, call our nation, “The Greatest,” we most people react so childishly to a breast.
The translation is hilarious… something like “Explore your curves to detect breast cancer in time.” And the tag line explorate I believe means “explore yourself”. Hello!
I’m slow today… 10 minutes later doing work on another computer, realized that’s an Explorer on her ribs. I hope I’m not the only one who missed that initially.
Somebody tell me what happens if a cubicle dilbert opens a not-safe-for-work at work? Do the nipple police from IT immediately come to your office? We freelancers who work at home, usually naked, have inquiring minds that want to know.
toxicroach- actually our HR are very decent people, but I would not expect them to put up with this being flashed from a cubicle.
Todays work environment is like this, putting the sites members in this kind of spot (potentially) just to show more “swagger” than another site is just weak and, frankly, shows insecurity.
I thought this tone of pictures thing had been cleared up. If someone “needs” this there are plenty of sites that will cater.
A bit of tasteful cheesecake, sure! Don’t get us in trouble.
Robert: I you wish, I can send you some simple Javascript code that will hide the image under a “Image NSFW… click to reveal” cover. It will prevent the NSFW from showing up in News Readers, or web pages, unless explicitly clicked.
Something has gone horribly wrong for a country to censor any trace of sexuality, but where violence can be shown to 8-years old without a problem.
Yes, it’s sad, isn’t it? I think it comes from a) a disproportionately Puritan heritage and b) that those in power realize, if subconsciously, that sexual repression and the resulting tension make for a wonderfully reactionary populace.
It’s “fat, happy, oft-laid people don’t go to war” syndrome.
Somebody tell me what happens if a cubicle dilbert opens a not-safe-for-work at work? Do the nipple police from IT immediately come to your office? We freelancers who work at home, usually naked, have inquiring minds that want to know.
Having worked in the back-office, I can tell you that what we did is this: we took note of the most popular sites people were going to and went there ourselves.
We also read your MSN/AIM logs. It’s more fun than just blocking them.
I’m sure they are very nice in your HR department.
Still glad I don’t have a startle reflex when I see a wee bit of nip in a European public service ad, or co-workers that would report me for viewing it.
I don’t know which is worse the people getting excited over a nipple or the people bitching about it. With all the possibilities on the internet that photo is almost lame compared to what else is available.
Boy do I increasingly love being a freelancer. There isn’t a person in the country who I can’t tell to go penetrate themselves, and the worst it’ll cost me is an assignment. And it has.
If your at work why aren’t you working???
I`m sure your company is just floating in $$$ with more than enough to support your surfing habit…
And people wonder WHY we are in trouble???
And..Why in H_ _l would your kids be reading this site…I’m all for education but, shouldn’t they be studying for a exam or something???
And as for you puritans,If the sight of a women s breast makes you queasy?????
Are your wives that bad that you don’t look..didn’t think so!
Lets all just enjoy the variety of images and information that we as adults only can.
Adults!
“Somebody tell me what happens if a cubicle dilbert opens a not-safe-for-work at work? Do the nipple police from IT immediately come to your office? We freelancers who work at home, usually naked, have inquiring minds that want to know.”
My pointy haired boss showed up, all eight of them, and each repeatedly repeated the company policy against surfing for porn on the internets. One of them gave me a good slap on the back, making me spill coffee, and another asked me to work this weekend, but as far as real punishment goes, they aren’t doing a thing about it.
Sir! This is an outrage! I demand a picture that shows what the guy in the Explorer saw.
Bunter1: “I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO HR WHEN I PULL YOUR SITE UP ON BREAK.”
On break. Sure. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
Seriously, IT or HR will only get interested if the URL is considered to be porn. I’ve seen logs on Internet usage during work hours. It’s amazing how much time is spent surfing. But most folks know to stay away from the really toxic stuff. Or to wait until their coworker is at break, then go over and use his computer.
Good sugestive picture to bring attention to a really bad disease. I find it sugestive but not of bad taste or pornographic.
Also the correct translation of the text would be, “Explore your breasts to detect breast cancer on time. We bring along everything you need to know to prevent it. Explore yourself”. The word ‘senos’ means breasts in spanish. It also means sine as in the trigonometric function. Also explore yourself is being use in a “check yourself” kind of context.
Also regarding having problems opening that kind of picture at your job. Lets say that being part of the IT department have its benefits. ;o)
And now, Im going back to my hiding place. See you at lurkers world.
Bunter,
Firefox plugins are a wonderful thing, learn to USE the net before complaining about it.
As others have said , isn’t complaining about seeing naughty bits at work, on a site completely unrelated to work odd? If you are THAT worried about HR firing you for surfing where you shouldn’t be, why are you surfing at work where you shouldn’t be? Do you not own a computer at home?
psharjinian: Yes, it’s sad, isn’t it? I think it comes from a) a disproportionately Puritan heritage and b) that those in power realize, if subconsciously, that sexual repression and the resulting tension make for a wonderfully reactionary populace.
Google “Anita Hill” and “feminist reaction” and start reading.
Sorry, but the idea that the current censorship of such things at workplaces is because of wannabe Jerry Falwells running amok is WAY off the mark…
Left-wing prudery is alive and well in America…anyone who thinks that only the right wants to censor sex, or is uptight about these things needs to learn LOTS more about recent history.
Alot of companies DO allow personal websurfing within reason. Showing (most) of a breast in an office with female employees is not within reason. Even if the company didn’t care personally (the guys here don’t), they MUST take action or risk getting sued by a female employee for a hostile workplace. Welcome to the US and I hope you enjoy your stay.
I am not sure about most of you but the economy IS in a downturn. It is _hard_ to find a new job if you lose one, hence why I block images here from TTAC.
As much as I am an anti-religion, anti-government, anti-conservative free and intelligent human being, I do work for “conservative capitalists”. I love nipples as much as anyone, but I could’ve gotten fired for having that on my screen at just the wrong time. Please don’t do that again.
For those of you reading from a workplace, you can do the following in firefox to block story images without any fancy plugins:
Directions for FireFox (Linux) x86_64:
Click Edit
Click Preferences
Click Content
Next to “Load Images Automatically”, click “Exceptions”
In the “Address of web site:” box, put
“images.thetruthaboutcars.com”
“www.thetruthaboutcars.com”

Thinx :
Sorry. I recognize your concerns; we understand the constraints placed upon many of our Best and Brightest.
But this one couldn’t be helped. Somebody stop me! No, don’t. Just kidding.
I see two of them.
Thank you.

The Matchbox car parked on her ribs ruins the mood for me, but if that’s your thing…
Alexander the Great wasn’t great because he was a cool dude.
Strangely enough, I’m reading this at work, and I see the picture and everything.
Funny, the internet filter here usually doesn’t even let me click on LOLcats, you’d think the “NSFW” would be enough to scare it.
Oh, and I can’t look at the picture without making “Brum-Brum! Brrrrrrr…..” noises.
That’s why I love Europe. Over there, that ad is just a tad bit provocative. Barely.
In the U.S., we’re airbrushing away WWE wrestlers’ nipples from ads.
Something has gone horribly wrong for a country to censor any trace of sexuality, but where violence can be shown to 8-years old without a problem.
I’m reading this at work. Could you make that picture a little bit bigger please? My monitor here is smaller than the one at home…
:-)

Heh…motorboat.
I love the UK.
And here’s yet another damned Autoblog post…
Somebody tell me what happens if a cubicle dilbert opens a not-safe-for-work at work? Do the nipple police from IT immediately come to your office? We freelancers who work at home, usually naked, have inquiring minds that want to know.
mmmmmm……boobies.
Wait, I can’t look at this at work why?……oh I see. it’s a ford.
okay gents., pack it up. Point Given just one this round with a brilliant post. HAHAHAHAHA!!
Err, I mean “won”
Hey RF!
I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO HR WHEN I PULL YOUR SITE UP ON BREAK.
If you get some of us in trouble you will have fewer site hits.
Duh.
I can deal with the pic. This is dumb and un-professional.
Bunter
Thank god I don’t work at a place where I have to be worried about HR.

This is the reason that Ford, alone among the (recently) Big 2.8, deserves to survive.
Because of the occasional cheesecake, I blocked images on ttac via Firefox. Problem solved. I can still see them at home, however.
I think most people here don’t MIND seeing nips or nudes, or whatever.
HOWEVER, those of us who work on site & work in cubes, need just 1 employee (male or female) to complain to HR, and you are out of a job.
wow someones got his panties in a bunch
Boy, Howdy… Maybe Bunter just doesn’t like breasts?, is female?, hates females?, works in a Church?, works for the Guv’ment?, ummm…
Seriously, if your workplace bitches at you for that photo, seek new employment. You can barely see the nipple.
What is wrong with this country?
Boy do I increasingly love being a freelancer. There isn’t a person in the country who I can’t tell to go penetrate themselves, and the worst it’ll cost me is an assignment. And it has.
They’re real, and they’re spectacular.
If your at work why aren’t you working???

More disturbing than the nipple is the references I see to “UK” and Europe. Last time I checked, Venezuela was on a different continent…

Yeah, but… they’re all socialists aren’t they? :)
Socialists nipples? Are they the same as community chests?

Wolven-
See Robstar right above your comment.

It is not about personal prudery. I have a wife and two children who are dependant on my income.
I like this site. But if it becomes a risk I’m outta’ here.
Bunter
RF-Simply putting this after the jump with a warning would be fine.
Not sure how to block the images myself as per his advise.
