    I was going to bring up: http://www.maxitmag.co.uk/

    They have asked me to be on their magazine, but I think
    I will turn them down. Would you?
    (Turn down having your PC on their cover?)

    Why? Because they have a girl posing on a computer case? Come on, look at the cover of mags like pc format etc, they have pics of women on their covers every month. There's no need to be quite so 'mature'.

    Well, for me, it was the feel of the image they are presenting. I wouldn't want that "style" or "atmosphere", if you will, being connected to my work. Especially if said work was of the quality of what Zap has created. Thats my opinion, he asked for it, he got it. If you don't agree... well thats why it is YOUR opinion.

    heh i dont see what the fuss is about
    she's a lovely looking lass :thumb: and its not like its shot in a distasteful way,

    U see more the same amount of nudity on the tv and in magazines/newspapers all day so whats the problem? @ the end of the day sex sells and always will and it does add the occasional interesting bit of eye candy and a good thread into the bargain

    may not be distasteful in any way, but it is about as unprofessional as you could get. Unless i missed something you don't see people with high paying jobs walking around dressed like that. Hey, no matter how much i try to impose my values onto you though, you already have your own. So ill just drop it

    I think the main problem was only the lack of appropriate placement of the pictures, e.g. if you have the site as a homepage on a computer in a sensitive place (e.g. showing your kiddies or something). That's not unreasonable considering the very tight moderating of swearing etc on this site.

    I'm fine with anything like that; i watch pr0n with the gf; it's just there's a time and a place for everything/

    she is hot tho :)

    might i suggest adding a NSFW heading to the title of this thread? i check the forums from work and i made sure i had alt and f4 underneath my fingers when i clicked the link. at most jobs you could go "oops, won't happen again" and be ok, but i work at a school, and they frown on that sort of thing.

    quality girl there, i appreciated the pics (once viewed at home). i don't see anything wrong with having them in the articles. not pornographic, hardly suggestive at all, and they weren't on every page of the articles. you can go ahead and complain about there being pictures in three articles, but it was really only one article and two spec sheets giving more information about those articles. kinda like a bibliography.

    At one point she was on the front page in all her glory. and not everyone in control has a sense of humour. that was all.

    Fair enuf I can see the reasoning behind that, If its inappropiate cuz of kids etc; then thats good enuf for me . Not having any myself my stds of decency are definitly lower than some of the parents out there
    However what i meant to actually say is that basically everyday u are bombarded with similer tho maybe not quite so revealing images in the press , on the TV ,on billboards etc; (I hadn't read the article when i posted i wasn't looking on the main site) so I was going by what I'd read in the thread .

    BTW that maxitup mag looks just plain tacky ; Fastcar for computers
