A Formal Apology
Here is a formal apology for the roadkill picture. It received a better response-- oops, I mean worse response-- than I was expecting, and therefore I have removed it. It went over very well-- oops, I mean badly and I shall not do it again.

You know, I think I killed the Image game. Everyone is afraid to go in it after my last post.

This really needed its own thread.

It's kind of strange you know. The porn is still there...

Re: A Formal Apology
Hahaha. I didn't catch that bit. However, it's more nude modelling than porn. In fairness, though, are you going to argue that roadkill is something more appropriate to show a picture of than nudity is? At least nudity brings some form of appreciation from most people, unless said person is fat and unhealthy-looking.
I admit there probably are some people who have a thing for fat and unhealthy people, but that's another matter.
I also admit there probably are some people who appreciate roadkill, but I can't legislate for redneck Americans.

Oh I never implied, that the road kill wasn't offensive and the porn is not more pleasant to look at. What I thought was, in the end it just was a dead dog after all.

Ezackly, it was just a dead dog. That's why I had enough guts to post the image in the first place and look at it without barfing over my laptop. The response I got was actually unexpected, I expected the response I got LAST TIME I posted a picture of roadkilltokage wrote:Oh I never implied, that the road kill wasn't offensive and the porn is not more pleasant to look at.

which I subsequently ignored. Instead, some person edited my post and removed the image, and then I edited it and pulled off the link (maybe I should add it back.)zoidberg rules wrote:may I suggest wolf that you go get some professional help

Re: A Formal Apology
I'd say its was a little more gruesome than that ...
But really looking at pictures of dead pets/people will never be as socially acceptable as showing dead wildlife (but is showing dead wildlife socially acceptable either?) simply because we have more emotional attachment to those creatures ...
I can tell you, the time I ran over one of my kittens I almost puked as i saw it convulsing on the ground in my rear view mirror and I definitely felt horrible ... but its a different story when I hit a bird or raccoon or something else while driving ...

Re: A Formal Apology
I converted it into a link because someone complained.
I would have done the same for the "pornographic" pics, but no one has complained.
Feel free to restore it as a link. It wasn't particularly gruesome - I mean, I've seen similar things driving around town, and worse things in dreams.
