Y’know, I’ve seen **ladyfoxfyre** ’s photo and either she’s a woman or an incredibly accurate simulation of one. Yet, she’s not offended by it. But, don’t take my word for it, let’s hear her speak for herself: > [@ladyfoxfyre](#): > > I also don’t see anything offensive about it. Well, there you go. ---

It’s almost as if some women think things that other women don’t think. But this is crazy talk. Someone has to be lying. ---

You must’ve forgotten to correct the OP on his much earlier blanket statement, then. Don’t worry, it happens to us all. ---

Okay, I just looked a the Love line on the Burton sight and I’m even more convinced this is much-ado about nothing. The topsheet of the board is a reproduction of the original centerfold. They are ALL positioned so that at the most you are seeing the outer curve of an ass cheek. The lone exception is the 162 where you can see all of the ass. The base is clearly an artist rendering of the ass, not a reproduction of the photo. To me, this falls into cartoon category and hardly “naked women”. IMHO of course… MeanJoe ---

As I woman, I don’t find them offensive. HOWEVER, as a potential customer at said ski-resort, I would find them inappropriate for the staff. If another customer used one, I’d probably think it, as I said, tacky, but I wouldn’t care less. An employee? **Completely unprofessional.** ---

That’s pretty tacky art though. Reminds me of the “naked lady” playing cards that used to be around, or those stupid pens. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/theyre-just-snowboards-chill-the-fuck-out-already/469968.md?page=3)
