Nipples.

Sorry Hobie. Sucks to be a mod at times like this, but I'm willing to say that in this instance the problem is on the people who get offended, not the image. That picture is artwork, not pornography. And anyone who "whips it out" for the three-eyed lady in the photo is probably getting turned on by stranger things than nipples.

Sure, and Landscape XX is just a bunch of round bumps and shafts too. Look, I'm far from a prude and I shake my head at things that people are offended by but let the person choose. Remember someone might be looking at Racket on their lunch break too. I doubt many bosses would take the argument "It's just an artistic 3 eyed, 3 armed naked lady with a couple of reefers", even if the other pictures on the page are a kitten in a pocket, Darth Cassette, a baby seal, disco seals, and weekday lolcats.

Hobie makes a good point.

90% of my Racketboy viewings/postings are @ work. The only internet connections available for my residence (rural Maine farm) are frightening slow. Keep it clean playas.

sorry for upsetting the hornets nest

Or am I?

There's something that has always bugged me about the whole "NSFW" work thing, though I often play along and tag my "questionable" material.

But now that we are talking about it, why should the rest of the internet have to make it OK for people to goof around on the internet while they are at work. It seems to me that if you are goofing around online while at work, there is a certain amount of personal responsibility you have to take for that. I browse at work too, but we all know our bosses don't want us to do that on the clock. We take the risk anyway, but should we also expect the rest of the net to play along as an accomplice and make everything "safe for work" so we can more easily do what we know we're not supposed to be doing anyway?

^Because you are simply showing common courtesy. Same thing with spoiling movie endings, just let a brother know first.

As I carefully noted, someone could be browsing while at lunch. Not on the clock, but still in the lunch room or at their desk where a boss or someone else could be bothered. Also NSFW also implies that it might not be for someone's children (per that parent's sensibility), not compatible with someone's religious views, not a good idea to view with someone's significant other or relative looking over their shoulder, or any number of potentially sensitive situations.
