This is a most unlikely turn of events.

Mostly, though not entirely. A guy with a bunch of videos of little kids at the beach stored next to some sexual aids would probably have a hard time saying he didn't use it as porn. Generally, though, I'd say the test for porn is "Is this intended to sexually titillate?"

What he said.

Meh, there shouldn't be anything NSFW about the pic. The kid wasn't exposing himself in any inappropriate way. Quite funny actually, that he went through probably a whole box of his mom's maxi pads.

That can't be quite right. Then Vogue covers and Victoria's Secret catalogs could be considered 'sexually titillating' and therefore, porn (by your def), and I think thats either a stretch or someone being too uptight.

A Victoria's Secret mag is porn when you are 14.

Well, it did say "borderline SFW"... that being said, I wish we would ban the bathing suite butt and boob shots. It's annoying... but I'm not the admin... and I'm sure whoever mentions it is a sig nazi.

demograph68 · Jul 25, 2006, 01:08 PM

The FBI are on their way you asshole!

Nah, it was amusing. I guess you have to be be incredibly paranoid about **** if you don't won't to piss of the NWS crowd.

Landos Mustache · Jul 25, 2006, 01:54 PM

I don't know where you guys work but at none of my jobs or my current one would an image like this even be close to being any sort of issue.

kick52 · Jul 25, 2006, 04:28 PM

meh.

Starman has to sit on his lap when using the internet.

That is what they do at "real" jobs.

qnxde · Jul 26, 2006, 08:21 AM

So can someone PM me the link? I'm anxious to see what all the fuss is about.

CMYKid · Jul 26, 2006, 05:13 PM

you hafta be one of the three people in the country that havent had somebody forward it to you by now. I didnt save it.

but whats funny about the whole thing is that I got no less than four forwards from people that work at f'in LEXIS-NEXIS of all places. They're nazis, if you can't imagine, and screen hundreds of thousands of emails per day for attachments, keywords and contexts. Didnt raise any eyebrows there.

Some lame sysadmin might give you the "Um, can we talk about this" but we all know how overly important they think their jobs are

Cant imagine anybody THEY work for would care.

but seriously, if you work at such a place, whatcha doin clickin ANY link with the words SFW and borderline in it?

turtle777 · Aug 1, 2006, 12:47 AM

Darn. Too late. MacNN Forum should get a Wiki edit history.

SLiMeX · Aug 1, 2006, 12:54 AM

I wish I was here to see the image!

Chuckit · 01:27 AM

WARNING: Don't click if you or your sysadmin think a kid who's covered himself in women's hygiene products is kiddy porn!

Yup.

euchomai · Aug 1, 2006, 03:45 PM

I could see my kid doing that, same age. The kid probably thinks he is the coolest in the world with his gear on. That is funny. You people with perv minds are crazy.

Landos Mustache · Aug 1, 2006, 03:46 PM

Honestly, I did something even funnier as a kid with a tampon. Not that you guys would be interested though

You could not be more wrong. Do tell.

Screw PM, I admit it is funny so if you make fun of it I don't care.

Anywho, when we first moved into our house (when I was 6 or 7) my mom was having a little chat with our new neighbors on the front lawn. I was goofing around and cut my finger slightly. She told me to go and get a Band-Aid from the bathroom.

I disappear for a while and go to the bathroom to find Band-Aids. I find a box of tampons and thought they were strange looking Band-Aids. I tie a tampon to my finger using that string to hold it all together.

The best part was I thought the plastic applicator was some sort of cracker jack prize that came with it so I walk out on the front lawn using the applicator as a flute/horn with a blood stained (my blood) tampon around my finger and recite a horn song for my mom and my neighbor.

I'll never forget the look on everyones face

I was wrong...that's hilariously horrible. I would have hated to be your mom for those few seconds of realization. That's absolutely hilarious.

I think my moms initial reaction might have been because she thought I fished a used one out of the garbage or something. Can you imagine that? Yarg!

Snooperino · Aug 4, 2006, 04:04 AM

hahahahaha. Gross dude.

smacintush · Aug 4, 2006, 04:17 AM

It's amazing what some people get themselves worked up over.

Snooperino · Aug 4, 2006, 04:24 AM

Yeah. I woudln't really give a crap what my sys admin was telling me if he was full of ****. Heck, he might as well block myspace and other websites that have ads with women in bikini tops.... I mean, that's pornography according to Starman's retarded network admin.
