Yeah, it’s the making metblogs NSFW that is a problem, really. Personally, I think that SG is suspect and probably disingenuous about the whole enterprise, but I have no actual objection to porn. My employer does, though. That, and it’s not like SG has any trouble getting adspace, and I see enough naked/seminaked women in most advirtising anyway, which basically means the SG ad just induces eye-rolling on my part.

I always read through a feedreader, so I had no idea.

Personally, I hate the Suicide Girls ad.

My feelings have nothing to do with p0rn or how porn models are treated.

I don’t like the fact that the ad makes atlanta.metblogs.com a site that I would feel uncomforatble to navigate to at work.

My vote is to remove them.

Calling someone you’ve never met “idiotic” demonstrates a lack of insight and intellect as well as a mean streak the universe doesn’t need. Karma.

That said, here’s an excerpt from the email:

~ so maigh, I noticed the suicide girls link on the atmetblog site, and was like “oh, what is this?” not even thinking what it could be. So I clicked on it, and got a nice pay site for meeting women that “dont have big hair or boob jobs”. Now I’m not saying I’m a prude at all. I love looking at good looking women, ie:
my wife. youre picture on your site. but I was kind of caught off guard by this link on the site? They just kind of letting anyone put up advertisement? like I said, doesn’t bother me, just curious, because it seems alot of times with the postings that people are a little more “frigid” on metblogs. ~

My bad, the word was “frigid”. Just reporting a perception, not passing judgement. I’m sure folks have plenty of perceptions about me I’d rather not hear as well. ;)

Kissy boo!

This goes with the Thomas Frank’s commodification of dissent theory. Of course we’re now in a world where there are no longer any kinds of dissent that haven’t been commodified.

the idea that atlanta or metblogs readers are too “prudish” for suicide girls is idiotic

Maigh – someone thought we were too prudish here? Hmmm… I’m not so sure I’d agree. Maybe we need to do some more risque posts – Metblogs does Atlanta or something… Actually, I’m not sure I can think of something that would legitimately make us seen less prudish…
