Edgy snowboard graphics test liberal Vermont
By Aimee Picchi Globe Correspondent / January 5, 2009
BURLINGTON, Vt. - For Nicole Zarrillo, seeing a snowboarder with one of Burton Snowboards' new Playboy designs at a Vermont ski slope underscored the reasons why many Vermonters - including her boss - are protesting the new men's snowboards.
"When you really think about it, it's a young man standing on top of a naked woman's body," said Zarrillo, 38, an office manager for a nonprofit based in Burlington, also home to Burton's headquarters.

Pretty, but frigid.
No, when you really think about it, it’s a drawing.
Do the Girl Scouts really want to get involved in this?
It’s a private business that’s operating legally.
They should stick to their own business.
Isn’t Vermont where that small town is where the local kids run around naked?
And if so, they have a problem with this because.....
why?
Wait until the homosexuals begin to sue and force “alternative lifestyle” boards.
Again, TTIUWOP.
They're welcome to start their own company. Free enterprise rocks!
Are the women on the snowboards naked, or are the “good bits” covered. If the former, then showing them in public isn’t acceptable (and may be illegal). If the latter, then it’s purely an issue of personal taste (and any rules the ski resorts might have against such things).
Liberalism doesn’t mean freedom, liberalism means nannystatism.
The photos were taken from 1970s era Playboys. My guess is that they’re pretty tame.
On Monty Python, they called them the "naughty bits." LOL!

Because the kids are hairy and ugly and the Playboy models are not.
vulgar leftists.
I ran a quick Google search, for research purposes only, of course. You’re right- the boards show the models’ butts, but that’s about it- no frontal naked bits.
brattleboro
Because they were really ugly people
