Drudge Porn

August 8, 2003 8:50 AM

I can't really think of any good reason why a major news venue would use a pornographic image on their main page. (Not safe for work!)

I can't think of any good reason why a person would post this to MetaFilter.

Only in America do bare breasts equal pornography. What a country! And pardon my scoff, but Matt Drudge? *scoff*

I can't think of any good reason why a person would consider the Drudge Report a "major news source."

Well, I don't think it's pornographic, but I do understand your point. It certainly is an interesting editorial decision.

Sorry about the link.

Okay, here's my point:

Do a lot of people read Drudge? Yes.
Do a lot of people read it at work? Yes.
Would your boss like to see you looking at boobies at work? No.

Amen.

Amen.

Drudge, like many other websites, has an email address where you can contact them about their choice of content. If you scroll down far enough, you can see it.

Tame.

What Frasermoo said. Also The Daily Star have "Page 3 Babes" topless on, er, page 3 every day. For no other reason than they can.

[Also NSFA!]

Thanks for the mammaries.

Drudge is not a major news venue
A small, grainy, cropped shot of a woman's bare chest is not a pornographic image


It's also very likely that this is not worthy of a front page post
