    The NSFW things are fine, but can you guys not link to fleshbot? Or just add a notice? It's a little alarming when my screen turns pink and there are boobs everywhere. Especially after clicking on an article about iPhone apps.

    Of course you all know that the REAL reason for this little trick is to block all things anime.

    wow. The responce to the complaints in the various masterbatory aids threads actually got to you guys?

    Oh noes! It says NSFW! Maybe I should click on it, here at work, to see if it's okay for me to see...at work...

    @OG_Phenix: It's the photos on the main page. They've been getting a bit more risque, and I think that's causing complaints from some users.

    @Jux: Not to be a complete ass...but maybe do work then? I mean, I love coming to Giz and various other gadget blogs, but I don't do it at work...not that the Marines actually give you much time to be on the computer...but you get the point.

    If it's bothering people, they can just go do the job they get paid for and spend less time complaining about there being images that might offend the sensibilities of their coworkers. Or they can just go to m.gizmodo.com instead to get the mobile version (no pics on the main page).

    Sorry, I have no patience for people who complain about convenience in surfing things like this during working hours, and who don't even bother trying other solutions. It's not Giz's job to make sure you don't get asked what you're looking at when you're surfing their site at work, is it?

    @OG_Phenix: I'm just saying I can see where they come from. I've got downtime at work now and then, so I peruse Giz. Yeah, they do give the average corporate user a heads up with the NSFW tag, and when something is simply tagged, it's easier to avoid than when an unexpected picture pops up.

    I'm not saying they should change it one way or the other, just saying I see that as a potential argument - and, realizing that a lot of the users browse at work, one that Giz is probably happy to help remedy with articles like this.

    @Jux:
    This doesn't really solve that problem though. It'll take care of the NSFW products, but not when a NSFW picture is used on a whim (like the Photoshop Contest).
