I suppose if somebody found that barely visible blob of a nipple offensive they'd probably find cursing the same. My parents still enjoy poking around on my domains, <i>especially</i> while they're at work. I know that mine were both blacklisted as non-worksafe by their proxy but the IT guy flipped some switch. They like to keep tabs on their baby :) I didn't think foul language alone was grounds for an NWS branding, I always figured sexually explicit or extremely offensive material was the stuff that crossed the line.

People shouldn't be cruising around blogs from work too much, anyway. :-) I swear occasionally, so I'm not worried about the "NWS" bit.

For whatever reason, the contrast/gamma on my powerbook is funky and I noticed that while the intended effect of playboy's graphic was to emulate apple's iPod ads, they missed the mark, and you can indeed see nipple. This doesn't bother me in the least, and is obviously understandable in an article about porn, but super-anal webmasters may see this as an NWS image. I'm sure not many people regard your site as NWS, so perhaps you should consider changing/removing this image. I just cut out some of the black levels in photoshop and posted it as a png to my article: http://www.sourlime.net/post/274 Take care.

I should proofread more often. ;) Sorry, I meant that I don't have porn in my iPhoto Library...

It does not do much for me. However, I do have a small collection of erotica (the kind that actually sparks some interest from my lower regions--not the soft-core crap found at Wal-Mart). Words excite me more than pictures or videos, unless I am viewing a picture or video of myself (distributed solely to my boyfriend). To answer your question then:

This guy leans over and asks me - "Do you use your machine to look at porn?" I told him that I was getting my Masters on line and I did not have the time. He just looked at me. He later commented that his theory was that most people used their machines to look at porn. Personally I was insulted. I believe that like the right to swing one's fists (Oliver Wendall Holmes) - keep it and them to yourself. This story reminds me of the time I was working on a plane.

Wouldn't iBods be marketed similarly, then? If so, I seriously do not want to have some random guy (or girl) sit down next to me on the campus bus, and break out that little device just to look at porn. The last things I want to notice are a bulge in his pants or watch him caress the photo screen, wishing he were actually playing with some chick's breasts.
