Yeah - you are right this must stop.
Back to the Chet’s pitbull stories, the crap about the NFL (which loves Obama and hates Rush), meaningless college ball games, Rick Warren and Osteen huckster devotionals, grannies pie cobbler, the guy with the Russian jet stories, the stupid satires that waste many people’s time, the gun threads (I do like those), crap about stupid Avatar, can’t find any ammo threads, the woman defending pitbulls, etc etc.
Call me a “lad” or even lager lout. Bring more of this Baltic region cheer. These gals are trying to spread capitalism by selling their calendar while Obama is jamming communism down our throat.
Your reply has merit to it with regard to all of the other threads that you mentioned, however, I just think that some common courtesy should be extended to the other half (women) who frequent this online forum. That’s all. ;-)
I think you set up a false dichotomy- you seem to suggest the choices are between salacious photos of women or pitbulls, NFL drivel etc. I routinely read material here that fall into neither category.
For me, a women, the title ‘sexy calendar’ text implies a level of explicitness common to TV guide or Sports Illustrated. But then I check the thread and it really is more appropriate for mens magazines - not something you’d leave on the coffee table for the family to see, not something I want to see. I don’t think it reflects well on FR.
Perhaps, as a courtesy to the mixed company environment we have here on FR, this kind of stuff could be put in a locker room type thread specifically for ‘adults’ or something more descriptive to indicate what the viewer will find?

WINNER!!
