Seriously. Your site has cool stuff but do you have to degrade yourselves by using pictures of semi-naked women for no specific reason? You don’t need skin to sell your site. It sells itself. Lose the soft porn, please. Because you’re losing me.

@Belinda, how is that half naked woman pointless? They posted a link for the sexiest woman alive, and that’s a picture of the woman in the first link.

And if this site is ran by a man, THEN OF COURSE HE’S GOING TO POST THAT PICTURE. Just saying.

@Tony – Ok I admit, it was relevant. But there are 14 other articles that could have been featured and they weren’t. And this is the case in every ‘Friday Link Roundup’ post – they all feature semi-clad women (when they could feature many other images instead) and it is a huge put off for me as a female reader, because I can see what it going on – it’s just naked women for the sake of it.

If they want to appeal to intelligent, thinking men and most women, they should cut the soft porn. Intelligent men go to porn sites to get porn. And as I said, the stuff sells itself. Just saying.
