Wow. A little Much Perhaps.

***WARNING - PICTURE BELOW A BIT DISTURBING***












Given a need to choose I would ask Geoff for more porn.
If this was a choice that had to be made.

I love horror films and the cyberpunk/splatterpunk I have found to read.
But that picture is just awful to find on a respectable website.

as it so happens the ad ends this week. I will give feedback to the advertiser that our readers found it offensive.

Thanks Geoff. And as I said if the choice is more sexual ads versus violent ads than it is an easy choice.

I think that is silly, I did not find that Meatball Machine ad offensive in the least. It is all over the web, its the cover of the disc, etc..

I do agree with Preacher on this one, I thought that pic was edging pretty close to over the line. I appreciate Geoff's response and provided feedback.

Yep, more naked Christina Lindberg sounds good to me.

The other pic doesn't bother me personally, but I can see how some may not like it.

I wouldn't say that either of them "bother" me. But, I suspect it would be a whole lot easier for someone to get in trouble over the first than the second.

How exactly does that pic make this site less "respectable"? That's essentially the equivalent of saying that nude pic of Savannah Sampson in the adult forum isn't "classy" enough. This is a DVD site that reflects all movie genres after all, and that kind of advertising is to be expected.

Geoff, that's one person's opinion and doesn't reflect everyone here! How about sending them a little more feedback saying that some of us do appreciate it and wouldn't mind seeing more of the same?


Honestly, some people will complain about anything.

Keep the pron in the pron part and I got no problem.

But certain images that are scrolled through the day in the other Forums can cause an issue. And it is more necessary to be careful about what they may be.

And of course some whoreslut of a porn star is classy. That's not what we are talking about here.

I didn't like the Meatball ad either. Bit on the revolting side.

Your not kidding,
People these days are so fucking sensitive & find almost everything offensive.

What was disgusting about it? Maybe I'm missing something. I see a face, some blood around the eyes and she's wearing some kind of goggle.

I'm not saying it's a neat image but I don't see what the problem is.

Gouged out eyes are pretty foul no matter what. Its an ad on a website. No need for it. If there was a horror section, fine.

Is that what is implied?

Pic doesn't bother me either. I've seen the ad numerous times and didn't think twice about it until I read this thread. Perhaps it's her expression. She's totally calm. If she were screaming or looked to be in agony I might find the pic disturbing. As it is a little blood doesn't bother me at all.

Also note the pic of "Anita" doesn't bother me either.
