Seriously...now I can't even shop your damn store from work because this crap is loaded on the main page? Really? At least consider changing the damn thumbnail, man. Don't get why you'd even carry tacky sh.. like that...
Link is NSFW. You're warned.
Quoted from Brtlkat:Are you gay?
Expect a ban for this one. Intolerance and ignorance isn't tolerated here or anywhere else in the modern world. The 60's called they want their mentality back.
Quoted from Brtlkat:Are you gay?
That was uncalled for. Grow up.
Ok normally I would chew someone a new one on this, but this time its not an insult. he is using it in context.
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:Ok normally I would chew someone a new one on this, but this time its not an insult. he is using it in context.
You and I must differ on the context. He is asking in a derogatory way because OP doesn't want to have to worry about smut whether real or figurines while viewing a site. There is no way in any context above is that gay comment appropriate.
Quoted from Pinchroma:There is no way in any context above is that gay comment appropriate.
Good point. Probably best not to use that the term "Gay" at all. "not that there is anything wrong with that"
He could have just asked if it was a general smut offense or sexual preference issue.
Either way I got to use one of favorite Seinfeld lines....
No making homophobic, insensitive, and down right ignorant comments get you banned. And he's right it is tacky. And that doesn't make him "gay" for not liking it. If you can't see why that comment is a problem then I just have to shake my head.
Quoted from Brtlkat:If your not in the click you get banned?
Pretty sure it's using the term "gay" in an insulting fashion. Different thing altogether.

I agree with him it's tacky 
. I'm not a fan of the anime style of those huge knockered figures and I know if that came up in work and someone saw I would be marched to HR. 
Quoted from Brtlkat:If your not in the click you get banned?
No, you get banned for being ignorant.
*And it's "you're"
As in...you're welcome
I just couldn't leave this alone but all i will say is "wow" and leave it at most of you need to chill.
Must be nice to have a job where you can surf/shop the internet 
. At WP AFB, that is a major no no or very heavily frowned upon.
Quoted from PEN:I'm going to buy them and put them in this pin. Just to confuse everyone.

Titties never confuse me
Quoted from NPO:Must be nice to have a job where you can surf/shop the internet
Yeah but at WP AFB they have aliens and UFO's...
Quoted from Brtlkat:If your not in the click you get banned?
No, if you can't spell clique you are banned.
Honestly, I wouldn't have any issue with Terry carrying them at all.....if it wasn't for the thumbnail pic being on the front page. That's the ONLY issue. Yes, I think they're tacky as hell...they were ridiculous when I saw them on Ebay six months ago searching for AC/DC mods, they're ridiculous now, regardless of what anyone might put them on. Carrying garbage like that makes him no better than PDI IMO... he might as well ask 80$ while he's at it for them, or spraypaint them chrome or something.
I don't mind giving PBL some extra publicity, 99% of my parts come from them, this won't change it, but it does annoy the crap out of me that I can't even price compare in my downtime now because their site might get me fired. Over pinball parts. That's ludicrous. I merely suggest that he either choose a different thumbnail pic for the front page, or remove it altogether. The description of the item is pretty freakin' clear what it is before you click on it.
NewPinOwner: Not only that, but I work on college classes too, and still kill my metrics for my job. I'm a great multitasker, I guess. When I have incoming requests, everything gets closed or otherwise set aside...

To be fair, that great Williams pin represents the Gay 1890's, not the Gay 1990's that we experienced.
Now I'm confused, there's a difference? People are too touchy these days and trying to out do each other to be the most PC, that amazes me more. Back to pinball for me, nothing to see here.

Could not agree more with this statement! Yeesh, guys, get over it! It's <gasp> BOOBIES. You'll live, trust me. If you have repressed feelings on this type of subject matter, this is probably not the place to air them...
Seems like the only time Alex ever speaks up around here is when he thinks someone should be banned.

Yes, I know. All of you are always right. This was an issue when I brought up other NSFW issues that were present here on the board. Thankfully, my opinion was heard in spite of all the people that would rather yap than do anything about it. I'm still gonna email Terry directly, but I know there's at least a few other people on the board that might appreciate a heads up on this...even if they're not posting about it.
I'm about the least PC person known to man, but I value my employment. Nothing wrong with that. I am allowed a lot of leeway in my job, but I respect the rules that ARE there. It has absolutely nothing to do with 'repressed feelings' or some overbearing sense of morality or PC-ness. The fact that you even feel comfortable making an assumption of someone's personality or even that they should self-censor themselves so your one-way-street method of thinking isn't all upset just makes me want to use the ignore feature more. Each to their own, we don't have to agree, but stop making moronic baseless posts like that. I think Steve's post nailed his opinion and point perfectly without the personal attack aspect.
*Edit* I've sent email directly to Terry, so I'm basically done posting on this. It's probably gotten enough attention and will have enough future posts for anyone that might care to see it.
Quoted from RobT:Seems like the only time Alex ever speaks up around here is when he thinks someone should be banned.
LOL if that were true I would be commenting on nearly everything you post You are a cranky individual 
I suppose the figures would make WOZ a little less umm, er, gay...
All tits should be banned, they produce mother's milk the gateway drug to everything.
Do we really want to promote drug use here on Pinside?
I think not.
I usually don't like smut mixed with pinball. I love naked chicks, no issue there, but the alt translites are just out of place, despite that guy making some very good and needed ones.
I have to say though, these are actually a good theme integrated mod for Playboy machines. I'm digging it.
I do agree though, for a pinball site, it would be nice if these were at least a little censored until you click on a link with a warning content note.
Quoted from bangerjay:Maybe you should be working at work
Yeah what kind of place lets you shop for pinball parts, but not shop for plastic toy tits. I can tell you which one would take more 'work' out of my work hour-- the looking at bubs not boobs.
Quoted from MrBally:To be fair, that great Williams pin represents the Gay 1890's, not the Gay 1990's that we experienced.
Thanks for teaching me something about my pin today, the more you know.
Quoted from Frax:Seriously...now I can't even shop your damn store from work because this crap is loaded on the main page? Really?
It amazes me people get upset about images on a private businesses website. Especially when you are trying to do this from work. 
Cmon Frax, I have a high opinion of you, surely this cant really be an issue. Order all your needs over the weekend or at night on your home system.
Those figures wont be going on Sharkeys Shootout, sorry Hilton, well.....OK, if someone bought them for me Id put them in 
and maybe do something fun with the box.
Quoted from Frax:I'm about the least PC person known to man, but I value my employment.
If you value your employment, the solution is simple...focus on your work and leave the pinball browsing/shopping for later. Busting Terry's chops over this publicly is wildly misguided. I'm not a fan of the figurines, but it's Terry's store and he's entitled to sell whatever he wants!
