Nudity in DVD reviews now?

joeblow69 · 03-15-12, 07:44 PM

Just read this review of Virgin Witch:
http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/54365/virgin-witch/
and was kind of shocked at all the nudity in the review. Is this normal now? I thought this sort of thing has been shunned for a while ? I guess I'm just not sure what screenshots of boobs adds to the reviews, beyond "titilation"...

That's acceptable, but gifs of completely clothed women jogging are not allowed.

If I were a cynical man, I'd say that gifs of completely clothed women jogging don't bring in cash via affiliate links...

And you can't post a link to nudity, so you must delete this thread!

Please contact IB directly as it really isn't something that we, as mods, are in a position to address.

"And I, for one, welcome our new titillating reviews."

I was surprised to see that myself but I didn't make a federal case of it.

The reviews section of the site is separate from the forums where we post. I'll discuss it with IB since people are evidently having issues with it.
