    Quoted from mystman12:

    I'm just gonna say it, the Great American Pinball banner that shows up above the forums, with the practically naked woman with giant boobs, is obnoxious. That's the sort of thing that would normally get blocked with unsafe tags were it in a thread. All the other ads up there are just company logos and what not, meanwhile it feels like Great American Pinball is just trying to get people to click on their ad with sex appeal.
    With Pinside striving to be somewhat family friendly, I don't see why something like this is allowed on the main page. If Great American Pinball wants to keep this as their main logo artwork, as distasteful as it is, then more power to them, but if they want to advertise on Pinside I don't understand why they are allowed to use the same artwork here. Obviously this is ultimately up to robin and it's not like I'm going to boycott Pinside over it, but it's something that's been bothering me for quite a while.

    Typical snowflake type issue. A normal person would just ignore it if they don't like it. If a snowflake doesn't like it, he is offended and is offended for everyone else. He decides that he doesn't like it, nobody else should like it and it needs to be removed. Guess what pal? You lose! That is GAP's logo and is less offensive than a Bally's Strikes and Spares backglass. Please take you cancel culture and just leave if you do not like it. As a matter of fact, you should never watch tv or connect to the internet again if a logo like GAP's offends you.

    Quoted from mystman12:

    I wholeheartedly agree, the reason I made a forum post was so there could be a discussion about it, and I can clearly see I'm in the minority so that's that. I'm gonna move on and keep enjoying Pinside!

    Discussion? You basically called the guy's logo pornography and offensive to women and children. That caricature of the woman is part of his business logo and is quite tastefully done. There are caricatures on backglasses on the pinballs that we all play that are far more suggestive and revealing.

    You are also sadly mistaken if that logo would get a thread banned or shut down.

    Quoted from mystman12:

    There's a big difference between boobs and a woman who's practically naked with massive bowling ball boobs. Ones realistic, the other is just kind of obnoxious IMHO.
    Also you missed the post where I said I keep the cat on Mousin' Around covered up.

    Dude, just stop. Just tell everyone you have been celebrating New Years too early and was drunk typing. You might save face then.

    Quoted from mystman12:

    Honestly I hope they do get a boost in customers today. I may have beef with their logo but hey, the better pinball business do the better off pinball will be as a whole.
    (Y'know if I claim my plan this whole time was just to bring them some extra business would you all believe me? )

    No, but you can bet your ass Mike from GAP is grinning ear to ear right now.

    It's not even a real picture of tits, it's a goddam caricature. Quite frankly it's PG at best. I sure hope the OP NEVER visits a beach.

    I wonder if he would prefer this?
