Main reviews page not safe for work

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/index.php

Do we need pics of the Porn dvds on the front of the reviews page?

There are many links on the site, front page and forum which will lead you to a Safe For Work Review Page:

We treat adult DVDs the same as mainstream. Do not descriminate against them for content.

I understand, I just didn't expect the nudity when clicking on the reviews link at the top of the forum. Anyway just thought I'd mention it in case it was some kind of mistake.

I just noticed this for the first time today, too. While I appreciate that there are work-safe links, perhaps the main one should be, too? This is especially pertinent as the Adult DVDs have their own review link just a few lines below the main DVD review link, which would seem to imply that they've been segrgated to their own area and the main section won't list them. The exception that proves the rule and all that. Or maybe, you know, that work-safe link you were happy to post in here could have as prominent a place in the review list as the Adult link.

It's not the content of the DVDs that's a problem, it's the explicit imagery that comes with it. It's totally unexpected on that page and, frankly, completely unwarranted.

Adult DVD's bring way to much money to the site to take their reviews and "The Blue Room" section off the main page. Unfortunately. Don't view DVDTALK when your kids are in the room.

I'm sure it's a great moneymaker for them, but the thing is, I don't even think the reviews and the Blue Room section need to be removed from the main page at all. It just seems rational, however, that clicking on an innocuous "DVD" link under the "Reviews" heading shouldn't open up a page featuring fully explicit cover art.
