Please excerpt short NYP articles to 50% of content, and do not post images from their website, instead of guessing.

OH okay, thank you for the explanation of why my previous post was pulled....the reason cited for it being pulled was a link to the list of “link only” sites at Free Republic, not your more precise explanation.

That poor girl is an advertisement for what a bad lifestyle can do to you.
I can remember when she was a really beautiful young girl.

So, should I understand that the reason why my comment was also pulled was because it contained an image, even though the image was not from the NYPost site?

Images from sites that have issued a copyright complaint to FR are prohibited. Also, uploading the image to a site such as imgur.com does not avoid the restriction.
To: Admin Moderator
Oh, okay. Thank you for your explanation. It can be difficult to keep on top of all the rules and I appreciate your taking the time to explain. :-)
I’ll re-post my comment without the image then :-)

I felt that there is no better group on the planet than FReepers to decide what does or does not constitute "sexism" or "offensiveness", so I'm submitting this for your astute inspection. The actual ad is available at the NYPost link above, and here again for your convenience although this YouTube link requires a login and age-approval.

A few random stoat-thoughts:
- The commercial is remarkable to me for how very tame it is. It seems to be about on the level of Benny Hill humor, but with more up-to-date production values.
- I had thought that this sort of activity by women had been judged as being "empowering" to them, as it "allows women to assert themselves" blah blah blah
- I've noticed that British TV is deluged with homosexual themes and related revolting activities. I guess it's okay for pretty much anything to be broadcast as long as it's homosexual.....extremely tame themes of heterosexual normalcy, however, are apparently becoming verboten.

Is it possible that link could be posted someplace prominent? I can never find it when I’m posting but perhaps I’m just blind.

I see. But the likes of lady ga ga and madonna; most rap music is a-ok. Nope, no hypocracy here.

It appears along the top keyword bar as “CopyrightList.” No need to save it to your hard drive.

It looked like an updated Benny Hill skit.

So....since none of us (seem) to care about the actual 'ad' or if it's true, I thought it would be a good time to demonstrate how non-sexist, and anti-homophobic, and fair we are.
So... Here are the other two leading stars of BayWatch.
