Fart picture...stay or go?

[mrmarket]

Most of you regulars have seen the picture of the guy dropping his trousers to plant a wet fart on his sleeping buddy. Clearly this reveals my juvenile humor which keeps me laughing when the market isn't cooperating.

However...I will take the picture down if there is enough negative sentiment from the members..what say you?

As Bob Grant would say:

"Your influence counts...use it!"

What picture???...Maybe I'm not as observant as I once was...But I'm observant once as I ever was...Wait...Right CW song...Wrong words

I say if it makes you laugh, keep it. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks. It's your site, after all.

Shocking

Can you pixelate over the part where the fart would be?

TIA.

[sisterwin2]

Does not bother me. Not everyone would call me a "lady"

[Websman]

Pull it...

I agree with Jiesen......if it makes you smile....go for it.

I have a 15 yr old son who is having a little trouble
remembering his manners lately. If you could have the
man look over his shoulder when finished and say
"ooops.....sorry" then I would think I was at home.
Sigh....

Anybody need a teenager?

Mr.Market,
Although the fart picture brings back pleasant memories for you, it doesn't for most of us. How about one of the beautiful Mrs.Market chasing you with a rolling pin in hand?

Keep It Respectable

My thoughts:

You said it yourself: it's juvenile.

Personally, I hate it, and I hate that there's less and less a sense of propriety in the world than there used to be.

If I were in your shoes as the creator of this fine message board, I would strive to keep it respectable, and that picture does not fit the mold.

MrMarket,

Here is what Mr Manners says:
I just don't know how to behave in front of my boyfriend's parents anymore. Whenever we have lunch or dinner together, his father will sooner or later either burp or break wind in the most disgusting manner. Except myself, no one seems to be bothered by it, but it really makes me lose my appetite and so I try to avoid any family gatherings. When my boyfriend asks me why, I explain but he thinks I'm overreacting and that this is pretty normal. But I just can't stand being in the room with his father and feel like I deserve him to behave in a more respectful manner. What can I do? Name and address withheld

All our bodies behave in "disgusting" ways. Even the Queen, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Prime Minister and the Pope fart and burp. In Western manners it is polite to ignore the embarrassing noises that our bodies make, and carry on regardless. Your boyfriend's father sounds as though he was brought up in a more robust (ruder?) clan than you were. I would find his behaviour eccentric and comical. Possibly rude. But I should carry on regardless. To cold-shoulder family gatherings for such a common human function seems to me unduly fastidious. Kind hearts are worth more than coarse farts. And a loving boyfriend should count for more than his Daddy's bad manners.

Get Rid of It

Replace it with a picture of either Sergeant Slaughter or Superstar Billy Graham.

The fart was wet? How do you know?

Seriously, I think you should show that picture only during bear markets to keep us all in good moods. Seems like it is needed here. Who's Bob Grant?

[DSteckler]

Pull it, Ernie.

[df21084]

Keep it. I'm not bothered by it.
