How many male brothels are there? Male porn mags? Men running around naked in movies? Proportionate? Not trying to be argumentative, but reality is reality.

Hmm, didn't know we were talking about Brothels and porn mags, but I think you're just not looking hard enough if you can't find them ;) I will agree that most "Porn" is tailored to the straight adolecent male, as that is by far the largest audience.

With regard to media in General, I've seen a huge increase in the past few years of full-fronal nudity of men and women. However, North America is near prudish when it comes to sex "in the open" if you compare to western and central europe.

I completely agree with that. America is very prudish, but unfortunately instead of making nudity, etc, a natural thing, we made it a dirty behind closed doors issue. Bringing it out 'of the closet' as our society is is simply making it worse.

Everyone has a view shaded by various experiences and I respect yours Danes. It may be more of an afront for women as well. The world is moving on though and when I try to curtail all coarse language around my older teen daughter she just says it's Ok and that swearing is used everywhere at school and it's no big deal, then it sinks in that attitudes are changing.
It really is a public insult against women. Attitudes change on a personal level, not as a whole in society, just to clarify that. I don't believe in this thread, after seeing what I saw, that 100 years down the road, this will be appropriate. It isn't now, it wasn't 100 years ago and it certainly won't be approrpriate next year. It just isn't, period. Nothing anyone says in this thread will make this alright, about what Del did. I as a Canadian have the right to pick and choose who I give my money to and where I get my supplies. Because of Del's distasteful site, and down right disrespect towards me as a woman, I have the luxury to say I won't buy from her. I also have the luxury to report my opinion on flavors and vendors and hardware etc publically..this one I will be flagging where ever I go. How dare you Del, throw women's character's into wife beater shirt, display them on your webpage as dirty sex symbols, calling them juicewhores and then think it's ok to sell to women your juice and ecig garb! How dare you portray us women ecig users as "juicywhores". I am more angry now than I was this morning when I first saw this disgusting display. Probably because I had a nap and had a nasty, and ugly dream about this. God. Sick and tired of having to defend my gender and how important appropriateness is in the buisness world. This isn't a dang tattoo parlor, it's an online buisness where they sell smoking cessation products, where people depend on vendors like this to get off analogs, thus saving their lives. Not a soft ........., get your jollies off while you click the button and order through credit card!

Danes, as unfortunate as you see it being, sadly there are others who will purchase from them BECAUSE of the graphics you find so offensive.

Ultimately it's your choice to purchase from them or not. But there's no point in going out of your way to bash a company because you may not agree with their point of view or business practices.

If you find it offensive, simply don't give them your business. "spreading the word" that it offends you just increases traffic to their site ;-)

We purchase from them because they make quality ejuice flavoring.

Its just a name and a logo, no reason to get all bent out of shape over it. how some of you assert that you wouldnt be willing to purchase from a business due to what simply is a mildly humorous and clever name and logo is your own loss, really, harden up, its not like the logo is a person killing baby turtles jesus christ.

LMAO!!!!! Now that was funny! Good way to justify it all! ROFLMAO!!! Oh and for you to tell women to sit idley by and say nothing about how somthing of this sort makes a person feel is just so very wrong as well on so many levels. Women are to be seen and not heard. RIGHT! I FORGOT!! Let's just let everyone do anything they want, and who cares if it is offensive..Keep your mouth shut about it! NOT!

PS - I don't find this offensive, IT IS OFFENSIVE

Whoops!! My apologies, I know how much that can offend lol (much more than the name anyway) ...Edited :)

I've yet to meet a fellow Canadian that would get offended by that. Then again, I've yet to meet a fellow Canadian that wouldn't say "Sorry" after someone bumped into them.

Well certainly a big topic change!

In response to "what is offensive doesn't change" I give you three examples:
1. During the Victorian Era they used to place material on table legs as it was considered offensive to have a "naked" leg. Hands up if you find table legs offensive now, over 100 years later?
2. In a Muslim country a bikini would be considered offensive. In the USA (and many other liberal countries) what passes as a bikini is barely a piece of string.
3. Some countries consider it acceptable to stone a women to death for "adultery" as a result of rape. Anybody here agree with that?

There are no moral absolutes. It all depends on where and how you were raised. Personally I find certain outward displays of religion "offensive" but I also stand behind an individuals right to wear or do such things as long as it isn't harming another or causing a security risk.

Wow, now that was just ridiculous. And, I, personally, never stated the owner didn't have the right to have the pic on there. I agreed with a previous poster that it was offensive. Bringing up EXTREME examples of what other cultures or time periods saw/see as offensive doesn't really help your position. Just seems like a desperate attempt at proving your point. You obviously think overt sexual images should be perfectly acceptable mainstreamed, some do not. You have a right to your opinion as does everyone else. I'm sure there is something that you find offensive that someone else would find silly. That is exactly why I don't understand why some people try so hard for the shock value, why not show a bit of consideration for those that may not share your views. I'm an atheist but I do not go around bashing anyone's faith. Many will find that pic offensive, why have it there? But...in the end, it is her business and has a right to have it. Knowing that many will find it offensive, I would think a good solution would be to have the website link open initially to a disclosure page stating that this site shows adult content. That way someone knows ahead of time what will be viewed. There are ways of compromising that makes everyone happy.

I'm sure there are things on the internet you would not want children viewing (I'd hope) and if they categorize it as an adult site people can lock it from their kids. I have an autistic 9yr old and if he searches for ecigs knowing mom uses one (which he would) I certainly would not want him seeing that.

I'm not going to defend the picture lol...

Personally I do find it hilarious (esp. on the business cards - novelty value through the roof!) but I can understand where people are coming from...

There are much worse out there by the way... Uncomfortably Sexual Company Logos | Happy Place and these aren't even done on purpose!!!

adult content.

It is in no way adult content... you've got to be kidding. Bad taste maybe but saying it's adult content is just clutching at straws...

Why is it so ridiculous? I was specifically responding to this:

Attitudes change on a personal level, not as a whole in society, just to clarify that. I don't believe in this thread, after seeing what I saw, that 100 years down the road, this will be appropriate. It isn't now, it wasn't 100 years ago and it certainly won't be approrpriate next year.

My "extreme" example of the Victorian era is pointing out that attitudes DO change over time, and to say otherwise IS ridiculous.

Want some less "extreme" examples?
1. 60 years ago smoking in a plane was not just acceptable, it was normal.
2. 100 years ago it was perfectly legal to smoke ..........
3. 150 years ago surgeons didn't wash their hands between the mortuary and the birth ward and any sugestion of "germ theory" was considered insane.

A bit more close to home:
* In Australia the only place you can buy a "porn" anime comics is a specialised store and it's in a sealed wrapper.
* In Japan you can buy the same thing from a vending machine

It's worth noting on that last point Japan has one of the lowest "sex crime" rates in the world. Canada and Australia, with our "prudish" attitudes towards sex, have some of the highest.

I fully support your right to disagree with me as much as you'd like, but to say morals are absolute and unchanging is just silly.
