OK All...

I see a lot of responses here based on the fact that I somehow *tongue in cheek* believe I am being scarred for life by seeing the photo of Elena on Fisher Labs page. That's not what this is about. It's about receiving Wall updates of photos that are questionable in their purpose, and modesty.

Simply put... my standards of what is "appropriate" are different from many of yours. I get that. What I choose to allow into my digital life is different than yours, too. I get that.

I felt it was NOT appropriate to have involuntarily received pictures of what I personally consider immodesty on MY Facebook wall. There was no purpose to it, and if you look at the comments section of the pictures, I'm clearly not alone in that opinion. I had thoroughly enjoyed the pictures of the "finds," before that. But when "Fisher Labs" name is slathered all over the photo, and it was showing up on my wall in a way that I was uncomfortable with... I expressed myself to the company. I also expressed myself here. When they failed to take action to keep immodest photos off my FB wall, I dropped them, blocked them, and am choosing to not buy their products. The same way I've never eaten at Carl's Jr. since the commercial with Paris Hilton. Or the resturaunts where I got bad service... or Target when they failed to protect my credit card #'s... I vote with my billfold, and am ok sharing that with folks.

There is NO ulterior motive to this thread. I'm not trying to get you to stop buying Fisher Labs. I simply had a rant... I posted it... and now I'm getting all kinds of fun replies. Some of them CLEARLY have motives of their own.

This'll probably be the last serious post I make here. I need to get back to looking at Today's finds... which is what I wanted to do all along!

:)


You may not want to be looking at Facebook at work... just saying..

Skippy... we all have a right to our opinions.
You do not like pretty girls that show any skin?? Crazy

Fisher... really... you went to the 1/2 of 1 % of the population that does not like pretty women, and deleted the thread? Bad move.
Most of the population did not have their head in the gutter and truly appreciate beautiful metal detectorists.
Its a truly lucky person that gets to dig with her.
Fisher... lets see if your smart enough to put the pictures back up? You will sell so many more detectors than worrying about the 1/2 of 1% of the people that have their heads in the gutters.

I can think of a couple reasons it was removed.
Perhaps the lady in the Picture was getting attacks & More.

Or perhaps everyone was trying to Out Do her with their own pics
making the thread a joke.

I don't know how Facebook works, But those would be 2 reasons I'd remove the thread.

the pic isn't pornographic by any sense of the word.
but I imagine there are some real hounds in the workplace
walking around sneaking peaks at computer screens just to
have an excuse to jump all over things.

So if any of you are curious... :P

But seriously, pretty women MDing looks better than men MDing. I mean I am 6'6" at 300 pounds, I have not shaved in years, I work out 4 hours a day and have scares all over from 31 years of combined service with the Army & Interpol of 64 countries with tons of fun and many bad days. Plus I carry my issued sidearm always.

I do not even want to see me. A picture of me next to a picture of any women MDing on the beach and we all know who is going to win that vote.

I find it hard to Believe she wears a White T like that to detect.
I know if I wore something that clean & White, it would be trash after the first hour.

unless she's got clean dirt there, Or detects but Doesn't personally retrieve.
My guess She prettied herself up for the Photo shoot.

Nothing wrong with that.

Reminds me of some of the Old Whites adds on the Covers of Mags

Where is her Digger & Where does she stick her Finds ?

Dang Skippy, I've seen school teachers with more exposed cleavage.
That's not a "down blouse", it's just a picture of a woman, let's move on.

Tell it like it is, especially used by people using at work wasting the Company's profits. If I were not retired and found one of my employees doing this not work related, they would get one and only one warning, then it's bye,bye company and hello soup line.

Hi; There is no way they were even allowed to be as naked as they are today. That picture of the woman washing the car shows her wearing a bikini and her hair is covering her breasts. That was done "intentionally" to shield the Public from unwanted views. Heck, Elvis was censored on the Ed Sullivan show for his "gyrations". He was forced to go back on the show to perform "Hound Dog" and not allowed to dance at all.
The camera's showed only his head. Then it was considered a DIRECT provocation when he ran his fingers through his hair during the performance. He never appeared on the Ed Sullivan show again. Think about it. About WoodStock. What do you expect from a bunch of stoned hippies. LSD would do that to you. No wonder they went nude. PEACE:RONB

:laughing7: Ok I see your point about woodstock! :laughing7:

The picture on the facebook page is no worse than ads from the 60's and 70's. That what I was getting at. Hey, I agree with you guys on the idea that sex sells. But, I don't believe in the scheme of things it's much different today? Whatever provoked the thought in the 20's, is different, but it might take more today to provoke that same thought? If I would have went through that page I would not have even looked twice, I would have not even thought anything of it. Where the older generations see it differently. :dontknow:
