COMTE, why so smug that other people actually have jobs? Are you jealous?

That borders on TSTS - too small to see. (Unless you're Santa.)

@3, there is this thing called "lunch" and "breaks" where people get to do whatever they want.

I liked that you preemptively whined about whining though. That was cute.

There's a big difference between a large picture of a naked person and a small one which can quickly be hidden. It's the difference between your boss seeing boobs from across the room and not seeing anything. This picture is fine on the front, but only barely. I'm just sayin'

It's the tramp stamp I object to.

Wow, I bet you're really glad you passed on that tramp stamp. It looks like an abstract rendering of Admiral Ackbar or something...

@11:
You're an expert at dead horse beating, ain't cha??

Dear Stranger,
More NSFW please!

Thanx!

At least this edition of NSFW is a small graphic that isn't easily visible by the guy behind me.

It's not that hard to be "(NSFW)" in the post title, really.

@5:

Jealous? That other people have to hunch over computer screens in cube-farms in perpetual fear that one of their co-workers will catch them slacking off by looking at naughty bits on SLOG, while I on the other hand, sit in my comfortable office, clearing out my inbox with machine-like efficiency, thus allowing me plenty of time to SLOG without any fear whatsoever?

I think not.

I really don't see why there is any controversy over NSFW tags to begin with- it's not like we're asking you to censor yourself or compromise your journalistic integrity; we're just asking for the choice as to whether or not we see inappropriate material at work. That's it.

If you're lucky enough to work in an environment more lax with internet policy, be thankful for your situation instead of spiteful towards those of us less fortunate.

(And FYI, the boobies didn't worry me because they're small enough not to draw attention to themselves.)

@15 - "If you're lucky enough to work in an environment more lax with internet policy, be thankful for your situation instead of spiteful towards those of us less fortunate."

Sorry, Sparky - Spite Makes Right!

@ 15: The "choice" is ours, not The Stranger's. If people are anal about NSFW material, don't read Slog at work. Period. Labelling items and putting them behind jumps are a courtesy from The Stranger, not a freakin' obligation... and when has anyone ever accused The Stranger of being courteous?

I don't know MW, since you were previously known as Mary Worth, isn't that about when.

It's called not abusing people.

You're absolutely right... the final choice is mine not to come back. I enjoy reading Slog, so I'd rather not make that choice (and I would assume The Stranger enjoys the ad revenue as well) which leads me to exhaust all other options before I go.

And no one is ever obligated to do anything, Matty... it's just a sign of respect to your readers.

But judging from all the passive aggression on display, I'd wager respect is an antiquated notion anyway.

How many times am I going to have to cancel my Seattle Times subscription to get you people to understand my outrage?

If there's people at work and people at home that don't want you to look at naughty bits, then I suggest not using pc's for personal use or at least get an iPhone or some such thing too small for anyone to notice what you're looking at. It's not the Stranger's problem you can't look at their Fun Blog while at work. You'll just have to ween yourself off it. "whaaaaaaaaaaa."

@19:

There is absolutely nothing passive about my aggression.

That's a cute tramp stamp. Probably better for all involved that it's not on your back, though.

Oh my god. Didn't we have 100 comments yesterday about the NSFW thing. Can people (on both sides of the argument) please just stop, already?

Plus, I didn't even notice that there were boobs in that photo.

The NSFW conversation again....

man, you slog commenters really know how to boil a dead dog.

Personally, I prefer my dog spit-roasted over an open flame, with a garlic and rosemary rub.

My favorite part of the "SLOG is NSFW boo-hoo!" tizzy is the people who huff that surely the Slog will miss their eyeballs scanning the ads if they don't clean things up. First, the people who whine about the content here are unlikely to click on the banner ads if they're so scared of incurring the wrath of HR. Second, they act as if no site on the internet has ever been successful by showing naked people on it. My guess is that page views go up with every NSFW image. They won't miss the whiners.

I think all the commenters that are threatening to not surf Slog anymore, are just one person posting under different aliases.

It's what I'm doing...

How about anyone complaining about "NSFW" just not read the slog when at work?

The answer is pretty fucking simple.

Just do your job and shut up.

Ok, I'm at home, so now I can comment properly-

Anyone know where I can find a sand dollar or two? w00t!

According to Jesus, it's official:

Everytime you post something NSFW, Jesus uses a pitbull to kill a foster child!

Good thing you didn't get the tramp stamp - apparently women with lower back tattoos often can't get epidurals and spinal taps are more difficult and/or impossible.
