it's a young man standing on top of a naked woman's body . . .

No doofus. It's a young man standing on a snowboard which is painted with the image of a naked woman's body. Lieberals are always pushing the envelope and then complaining when it comes back to bite them. I don't see the lower part of the snowboard, but by the way the girls are standing, I'm guessing that they are showing nothing more than a little flesh on their backsides.

Snowboarding is a sport dominated by young men. Young men love images of beautiful young women showing skin. They get to shock the phony feminazis as a twofer. Who would've thunk it? < / sarcasm >

You nearly made me choke on my lunch with that one...

...and natural...no hedge trimming or artificial aftermarket accessories. Nice!

. . . all the good parts wood be covered in so much hair . . .

If they were real and not just images, you bet my wood would be covered in so much hair.

The photos were taken from 1970s era Playboys

So these kids are using snowboards with images of women who are now about as old as their mothers or even grandmothers.

When you really think about it, it's a young man standing on top of a naked woman's body...

Well, no. It's a young man standing on top of a snowboard with a pretty picture on it. The only real conflict here is between toleration and political correctness. Liberals seem to feel that they have a monopoly on both. The twinge some of them are feeling on the issue is cognitive dissonance.

What a bunch of bluenosed wowsers

Someone needs to show some pics showing the gals Spring skiing and boarding in sunny California. That’s why I still ski at my age (old).

Maybe it's generational, but yuck.....

i have only ever had burton snowboards and will continue to buy them. they are the best. jake burton invented snowboarding. well, burton and sims. but burton is the best.

Wait until the homosexuals begin to sue and force “alternative lifestyle” boards.Vermont brought it on itself, that’s all I can say.

[AU72]

They wouldn’t have had a problem with beefcake boards.

[Holicheese]

What a horrible picture that is!!

[thefactor]

i just called the NYC store. they have a bunch. i might go buy one. if they are outlawed they will be worth a ton later on. the biggest one is only 162cm, though. kinda small.

[Atlas Sneezed]

The photos were taken from 1970s era Playboys. My guess is that they’re pretty tame.

They do have that look.

And You can bet that within hours of this going public, the Playboy legal team is all over these guys, who are about to be shut down, justifiably.

You’d think these morons would at least create their own images, or pay for the right to use someone else’s.

Just be glad I didn't have time to photoshop a Helen Thomas picture...

"When you really think about it, it's a young man standing on top of a naked woman's body,"

No...that's the conclusion you come to when you do NOT think about it.

When you actually, really think about it, it's a young man standing on top of a photograph of a naked woman's body. Big difference.

It’s true. ;-) If you ever have occasion to visit Burlington, VT it’s a truly Bizarro World kind of place, like Amsterdam with all of the dope and dirt, but sadly, none of the pretty girls.
