Porn in the Real World
 

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

So I saw this on CNN and it got me thinking. I don't think I would feel right snowboarding with a naked girl on my board. Although I wouldn't have a problem with someone else using this board, I would worry too much about what other people would think.

In the future, do you think there will be greater acceptance of nudity in public and on TV? I know I've seen plenty of naked people on-line, and as this generation and the younger one get older. We have grown up with basically unlimited porn access, is it not a big deal anymore to see it on billboards or TV? Or is there something about the being anonymous and not having other people know that makes it ok? I guess another excuse is that we are trying to hide it from kids.

I don't know, if you told me that there was only guys on the slopes and they were over 18 and everyone of them watched porn or had seen plenty of naked girls in the past month, I would still be hesitant of using this board. And I probably shouldn't be in that situation. I think the only situation I would be ok in is if there were girls and guys over 16 on the slope and everyone was using boards with naked people on them.

Edit:

After doing some more research, the CNN censoring lead me to believe that more was being exposed then there actually is. Here is a link to the uncensored image (but it's not that graphic, I've seen real girls at the beach with those parts exposed)

Those boards do have some pretty porno-ish pictures, but when those boards are being ridden, the bindings and snow will cover a lot of the top area of the board. But also, I see more and more little children when I hit the slopes and could definitely understand parents getting upset over this. Ski slopes are usually very family friendly.

I'd rather see nudity than guns or violence any day of the week. I take care of an eight year old (he's essentially by brother in law, it's weird) and have a nine month old daughter. Guns, NO! Butts, sure, why not?

i think ill go with violence over nudity on a snowboard.

even though the girls are pretty, i think the over-all design is horrible. not my taste at all.

All of this in the face of Indonesia's current debate over their controversial Anti-porn Law.

Nudity violence and porn I think have some sort of domino effect that tie them together. You are all upright people that arent inspired to do harm by trying to be more manly but I have been places and I have seen things......

I think thats why they are all cencored in movies, not one only but all thre together at a time, majority of the time.

If you think movies have violence censored in them then you haven't been living in America lately.

Or you watch nothing above PG.

I would only use that board if it had the right amount of flex and if the edges had good contact and stay sharp.

= performance > graphics and I don't care what others think of my board. Much like Soma said, snow and bindings would cover up the graphics, no one will see them anyway, and yeah I'm jaded but those graphics look pretty damn PG to me. Of course someone will get offended by them, some people walk around looking to be offended.

I know places where I could be beated to death if I use such boards :)

From CNN's coverage, I thought the girls had their legs spread open on the underside. And where I go skiing, the chair lift is only 30 feet or so in the air, and it stops quite a bit. That would be awkward having people staring at it, let alone getting upset.

Yeah, CNN is pretty lame on this one.

Well, more lame than they are normally.

Which is pretty lame.

So I gues now that they're super, ultra, megalame?

I would be more concerned about the performance of the board than what picture is on it. But I don't see what all the hubbub is about.

Also, I like boobies.
