After that statement, nothing in this thread matters anymore.

Yes, I realize I can turn it off. That’s not the point. This is a bidybuilding/strength/fitness website. Why not use pictures that exemplify this? Using soft-porn is gratuitous and cheapens the intent of the site.
I guess the guys who come here and never visit the lifting forums like the pics. It’s not a big deal, just an idea.
If I tell a friend about T-Nation and they visit, they might get the wrong impression (especially with the girl in the blue plastic outfit bending over). [/quote]
Did you contribute a writing for the writing contest? Did you read the whole article from last week? I think that whole article will explain to you what T-Nation is. If one is just looking for a Bodybuilding, Strength, Fitness website…there’s other sites that do the same in a Politically Correct fashion.
However, I never recommend this website to anyone without explaining what it contains, the images that are present, the big advertisements that make this site seem that supplements is all this site is about, and the content discussed here. If the person I am giving the referral-talk to is not interested or intimidated by me explaining it to them- then they are not ready for even the image-controlled setting of T-Nation.
But your concerns are valid.

ok, so he was not aware of the rotation, I forgive your silly idea then. Please enjoy the muscle chick posted on whatever day she is posted.
p.s. Does Jamie Eason fulfill every desire as far as muscular and hot goes? Cos TC could put a new pic of her every Friday and have no complaints from me.[/quote]
Post her every day! They don’t get hotter than that.
Wow…if I hadn’t scrolled all the way to the end I wouldn’t have been able to look forward to the Jamie Easton article…until then I was trying to figure out why the TSB has gone out of vogue…
TS freakin’ B

The over-reaction was starting this thread.
The Atomic Dog and Powerful Image go together like lamb and tuna fish.
Name the movie.
Don’t you have to actually turn the PI on for it to show up? When I first came here, it wasn’t there on the left side.
Anyone who complains about the gratuitous pictures within the articles is a gratuitous asshole.

Big Daddy, baby! Classic.
Maybe you prefer spaghetti and meatball?

No shit. I think there should be a new rule to the T-Nation forums: The complaint department is closed. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

by the way boys, now that all your testosterone is tied up in a big knot, i thought i might point out that i never suggested they change anything about the site and I turned the Powerful Images off a long time ago.
I meerly stated an opinion…try to get over it and contain yourselves.

Stop acting like a douschebag. Don’t take the “i’m so holier than thou” stance. We disagree with you, now shut the hell up.
Maybe she-hulk will cheer pjg up 
She works out!
and yes, that picture does look exactly like southerngirl.

I’ll help you out.
So, in all this nonsense, did anyone realize the PI looks a little like southerngirl?
Actually, I’d like more porn, less muscular women. There have been very few PI women who struck that fine balance between “looks like she works out to tone her body into a goddess” and “looks like she works out to tone her body into a shemale.”

I hear you guy, but the name of the site is Testosterone.
Pictures of those girls give me an electric charge. They make me want to work out.
However, I’m an innocent babe in the woods.
If enough of you want me to stop posting pictures of sexy girls on Friday, I will.
Nothing wrong with sexy girls, but there are plenty of sexy girls with muscle. I’m not trying to be a prude, but some of the pics just make me go WTF? Some skinny girl with big boobs doesn’t make me want to go to the gym. A girl with some obvious muscle squatting 300lbs or a Monica Brant, that’s something different.
Thats the third time you have said the same thing…we get it…you don’t like chics…but everyone else here does
Ok, Mr. New guy. Got it. I appreciate you and your 13-post input. Way to jump right in and speak for the whole group right off the bat.

See, the funny part about this is that if you had been reading this site for as long as you would like to make it appear by making that statement, you would know that this topic specificaly has been debated a gazillion times.
You would also know that it imediately flags you as an estrogen filled nancy boy.

Great googly moogly.
Thank you Rockscar. I know you posted it before and everything…and…well, just thanks. gulp
I want an option to set that as my powerful image. Permanently.

Personally, I couldnt agree with PGJ more. I’m fairly new here, and am a woman. I already turned off the Powerful Images feature both at work and at home because:
- i’d be embarassed if anyone saw some of those images on my screen
- i REALLY do not find them motivating orinspiring.
- many of them are anything but powerful.
Honestly, the same could be said for many of the pictures that appear with the articles. They are often just gratitutious boob or ass shots, and cheapen the message of the article and the look of the whole site.
On good days i just ignore it, on bad days i really feel that the site appears a lot less credible than it could be. Today is a bad day.
Hmmm, and what’s your view on women only fitness clubs? This site hasn’t been promoted as men only and while women are welcomed here, don’t expect to get too warm a reception if you try and change it to your perception of what men should like. Like other’s have said just change or personal options or leave. I get sick of the bullshit that a few people seem to think everyone else should cater to their insecurities, as your willingnes to say shit like this depends on wether you’re having a “bad day” or not. Lame.
I bet if you looked anything like the women in these pics you wouldn’t be complaining.
Lighten up, Uncle Pervie. Nobody is making any demands or expecting to be catered to. It was just an observation I had and I made a recomendation. I was over-ruled. Relax.
Excuse me, Uncle pervy? Who needs to lighten up? You are the guy that suggested things be changed to suit your viewpoint. All it would take is for you to change your options, but no, we should all have to change for you, nice. [/quote]
I apologize for the name calling. That was not necessary.
PGJ, since you won’t check your PM’s… Check out “Women with Muscle” in the Vixen Sorority. You won’t be sorry.
