I don't think getting a life is the point.

I am not personally offended by any of the avatars I have seen on this site, But others around me may be. As I said I work in a busy office with male and female staff. The last thing I want is for this site to be blocked by the IT department due to a few peoples choice of avatars. I certainly wouldn't start looking for Porn sites at work or in front of the family so why should we have it here? OK it's not that bad here yet but maybe in the future....

Correct!

And as this site is about AC Cobras/fast cars then it's hardly out of place is it??
What have fast cars got to do with naked women, except in marketing men's fantasies?
I have driven fast cars for many years now and the only place I have come across any link between naked/scantily clad women and cars is backstreet garages where some grease monkey has a callendar hanging on the wall.

Calm down ladies, it's just a commercial.

For those of you worried about getting clobbered by your IT department fascisties, I wouldn't worry. I would worry far more about breaching the fair use policy by pratting around on forums when you should be working. MikeT's bare arse avatar isn't porn for crying out load, it's just an arse. Now if it was a front bottom that would be over the top for a forum such as this in my opinion. Still wouldn't offend me however.

Can't believe this has been brought up as a topic on here, no room for the PC brigade in my world.

If you're not careful, Mike will change his avatar to a picture of himself.
Now that would really scare the children!

I think maybe Mike's avatar is a bit near the knuckle, but it doesn't bother me. I don't have to worry about some spotty dickhead in the IT department blocking the site though.
I consider this an adult site really, but can see Dave's point if his kids are looking over his shoulder.

Fence? what fence?

I say it's Rob's decision......................buck passed.

Hi Kayjay.
Would you like to explain "It's just an arse" to my 8 year old daughter?
If you do not have a child in their "Tweenage" years then you would not understand.
Mike's image alone would previously have been relegated to the NWS section before we came to ninebean.

The vote is going in my favour, but I will change it, don't think for one moment that it's because of pressure from the whingeing PC brigade

I will do it for the sake of folk's who have kid's watching over there shoulder.
