I didn't mean to stir shit.  The point is you are reading a thread and someone walks by and the flashing draws their attention, then they see that it is flashing dildoes and.....

In an office environment, it doesn't go over well.  It has nothing to do with children, it's my job, the protection of the children comes when I can't feed them because I don't have a job.

If it's really such a big deal damn, I can just stop posting, especially since when I make a fucking comment, more shit is posted.

Oh wow, I didn't realize this was about you, again!

My bad.

I am not the only one here who works in an office.  Considering that mine is fairly laidback, I get away with a lot.  However, the flashing pics push it.

You made a point of posting more crap about dildoes and penises after my comment.  Don't know what your problem with me is, I have not tried to piss you off, but I would appreciate it if you stopped with me.

Hey Khara.  Sorry about the big black flashing cock pic.  I was so absorbed in the parody of the barstool it didn't occur to me that a giant flying flashing pleather space dildo would offend.

S'ok Burns.  The whole fucking thing got blown OOP!  It's a funny pic and if I hadn't been in the office, nor gotten caught......

How are DILDOES NSFW???

A drawing of a dildo would be as nsfw as a drawing of a dick, right? Am I missing something?

Are drawings of dicks NSFW these days?

unless its on an urn or a medical text yes. most workplaces would raise an eyebrow.

[Triple Zero]

Bet you I can find NSFW medical penis drawings.

I wasn't even thinking about you, at all, just surprised by how your comment seemed to imply that you thought that this discussion was about you.

And, yes, I posted "more crap about dildoes and penises", as in, the words "dildo" and "penis", and a LINK to Michaelangelo's David. Again, nothing to do with you (at that point I hadn't even noticed that you'd posted - I'm sure I read your post, just didn't register that it was you) but because I was legitimately curious about what is off-limits these days. Either things have changed since I worked in a corporate environment, or the places I worked were really liberal; quite possibly the latter, because anything that could reasonably fall into the category of "art", such as drawings, paintings and sculpture, were fine to the extent that no one would have ever wondered whether they were OK or not. You wouldn't want a client to find drawings of dildoes on your screen, but no one at work would mistake it for you looking at porn on the job.

And me and TGRR riffed a little on protecting children from filth, ie. art.

Nothing to do with you, whatsoever. If it could be said that I have a problem with you, it's only to the extent that you tend to think things are about you when they're not.

[LMNO]

The basic rule I go with is, if you were a tight-assed, career-minded manager with a flourescent tan and stress levels that would choke an elephant, and were obsessed with Politically Correct attitues and constantly worried about sexual harassment suits, what kind of visual content wouldn't give you a stroke?



True, a lot of PD.com content doesn't adhere to this, but I've learned how to be sneaky, and how to anticipate what a thread may contain.

Well, as I had stated that the flashing dildoes really weren't safe for work, your posting of such further I took a bit personally.  I do not work in an "arts" atmosphere, so that type of thing is not acceptable in the office where I work.  

As for thinking things are about me, I have no clue where that is coming from.  With only a couple of exceptions, no one here knows anything about me, so trying to judge my responses in posts to me turning it into being about me isn't really fair if you know nothing about me nor what I may or may not be thinking.  Considering I rarely post, that whole "all about me" comment is BS and I think you know it.

Be that as it may, it's done and has been addressed.  We can just drop it now.

good reverend, don't forget the 'forgotten' teenage girls who are so far into their self-loathing that they feel the only way to change their life into the fantasy world they read about and see on the screen (see: twilight, the story about a jailbait emo girl who is stuck on her decision between bestiality and necrophilia) is to believe in magick

''i can totally blow out candles with my mind, wanna see?"
"i discovered that i can see ghosts, but only when others are around and ignoring me"
"hey, wanna see my wounds from the vampire that bit me last night while i was sleeping?"


oh, and back to PD etc etc, ignore if this example was already posted and such


also, on a semi-related note; those damned ghost-hunter shows make me want to spend all the money i have to fly to each one of the producer's front porch and massacre their family slowly with a dull butter knife... anyone else feeling this rage when having their brain cells massacred by their commercials, let alone their shows?

This is why I don't watch TV.  I need that money for pills.

i tend to not watch tv much unless i am irritatingly bored, and of course, all it does is make me more irritated... its a hate/hate relationship, and apparently i am masochistic in this sense... wonderful, ne?

i make it a habit of only watching discovery, history, and the like (food channel is crack when i am hungry... another form of torture. sad trend here)

and when i saw that the discovery channel had those deplorable shows on there, i had a fucking conniption.


didn't those stations used to pride themselves on being educational? so, what... now people will watch the discovery channel, see these 'oooh ghosts!' shows, and take them as fact?

like the Smithsonian holding seminars on the 'known characteristics of local extra-terrestrials'


grraaaAAAAAAaaagh! frustrating as all bloody fucking hell...

There is no "History Channel".  It's now the "Pseudoscience Channel".  Everything is about bigfoot and Nostradumbass.
