Baller Shell Posted April 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2018 What I didn't like about the ad was they don't actually sell bikinis on their website!!!? "Bait n Switch" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RAWSki Posted April 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2018 This talk reminds of an old post that pre dates BOS and goes back to the Nichols board. A guy was saying his wife didn't like him spending so much time (and as a result money) on the waterski board . So he had developed a solution. He kept a porn site minimized and when he heard his wife coming down the hall he would cover the Skiing site with Porn. she would barely give him a second look and move on content he wasn't about to drop another chunk of change on his boat or ski!! It made me laugh out loud at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted April 28, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 28, 2018 I like the idea of the ads being inspired by surf culture but I do understand those of you who found those banners too edgy or not safe for work. There will be future banners with pretty girls in bikinis but I think we now know where the line is and not to cross it.

Baller mwetskier Posted April 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2018 ' I cannot chance that anymore with having someone walk by and see me looking at softcore porn at work.

Baller vtmecheng Posted April 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2018 A picture of a butt in a thong bikini is problematic for most offices. Companies are touchy about anything that may be construed as degrading to someone else. I found the women to be beautiful, shoot my wife was even impressed with that booty. That's not the point. The point is that the homepage for a skiing site should be safe for me to view during lunch at the office. Also, that while sex sells, it will tee off some portion of a demographic. Why radar would be willing to do that when there are plenty of other means of grabbing attention to sell products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RINLE Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I get it for some water sports products but Radar's stuff is outright eye candy on its own merits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted April 29, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted April 29, 2018 If, as a result of this change, anyone is having trouble finding enough naked buts on the internet, then I suggest searching for ... pretty much anything. If that doesn't work, drop me a PM and I'll help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RAWSki Posted April 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2018 It's hard argue that the ad works, over the top? Maybe.......yet in today's very sensitive environment the Radar banner, Krista's and even the Manon Costard instagram pic could be considered inappropriate for the work place. But without the these advertisers we wouldn't have a BOS Forum at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller bigskieridaho Posted April 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hey complainers......if you are worried about homepage content at work then look at the forum on your phone. That way the banners won’t be there. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bigskieridaho Posted April 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2018 Or another idea, get a job where you work from home like @Horton and I and then you can do whatever and go skiing during work hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eleeski Posted April 30, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 30, 2018 What's really bad is that @Horton hasn't fixed the title. Pretty funny at first, the OP is drooling so much he can't make a coherent title. But once the thread (unfortunately) got serious, the title is really out of place. Sad that ads can get restricted but bad grammar stays. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
