Any chance we can get a NSFW notice added to the latest WE? Some of us access the boards from libraries on occasion (I happen to be using a military library computer at the moment) and there are some strict polices out there. ---

Yep, apologies all 'round, it should have been marked… and **TubaDiva** will correct pronto. ---

I fixed it. For the record, I am really aggravated at the world most of you live in. There’s been this outcry over a site that shows a bit of skin (with all the naughty bits covered, even), but I could show you pictures like this [http://www.digitaljournalist.org/issue0410/adams20.html](http://www.digitaljournalist.org/issue0410/adams20.html) all damn day long and nobody would blink an eye. Just saying. Have a nice NSFW day. ---

I’m surprised that a picture such as this is even considered Not Safe For Work. No sexual parts are shown. When I go to my Yahoo! home page, which has the Yahoo! most e-mailed photos of the day, I sometimes see models in small bikinis that cover about as much as this photo does. ---

All in all, perhaps not a wise choice on my part. Though you have to admit, it’s pretty damn weird. I’ll be much more selective in future. As for the rest of the content on the site which could potentially make your supervisor’s eyebrows shoot off the top of their pointy head – written by Cecil, drawn by Slug, written by you – all I gots to say is good luck. I do note that we’re banned on many military bases, including, I have been told, in the Asian theater of operations. You can take a bullet for your country but you can’t read about poop. The government has its priorities straight and I will sleep better tonight just knowing this, won’t you? ---

Regarding the link itself… it’s a joke right? I mean, maybe I’m being naive here… but if I have an actual chance of getting a blowjob… But realistically, it’s probably just a way to gather up e-mail addresses. Right? ---

[QUOTE=TubaDiva] Do you believe any political promises? I tend to think of them as so much “hot air,” but YMMV. [/QUOTE] Generally, no. But this is a _blowjob_ we’re talking about. If there is even a glimmer of hope, I think we need to support this cause. ---
