Please stop making a fuss unless there are actual naughty bits shown. A sexy pose at an oven in admittedly skimpy baking outfit is NOT unsafe for work.

Well, CJ already said it, but I too want to add that some places are VERY uptight about what is seen. While I agree that this picture is not that bad, some places are just way too uptight for their own good.

While one may see more skin on the Chinese volleyball players, a secy pose such as the hottie in the kitchen would be considered much more risque (by some) than a picture of athletes in their standard "uniforms."

Something about most of these recent internet memes is just passing me by. I didn't get the funny in rickrolling either. I guess it is time to go protect my lawn from kids.

I'm with you on both of these (Montymash and rickrolling).

What she said. If I can't check the board at the library, then I am not a presence at the LoT.

That Full House one kills me for some reason.

I don't care if it's a movie tie-in, it's funny, and I'm totally going to make more of these...

Oops, really sorry about not putting the Rachel Ray image in spoilers. I just didn't think. And now the editing window seems to have elapsed.

Can a mod do spoiler boxes for my Post #2?

Putting something NSFW into a spoiler tag does not really make it any safer for many workplaces.

Yes, it avoids the embarrassment of the over the shoulder glance but if you're being monitored at the proxy level it is just as problematic.

(Though at least for me, that Rachel Ray photo doesn't really qualify as NSFW)

This I obviously did not know.

I feel terrible about this and hope no one gets nailed at work for looking at the photo. To me, it was just Rachel Ray in a bathing suit. I just saw the smile and the top and the dead gray thing on the tray.

No problem, in this case I'm on the "it really isn't that bad" side. It's just something I point out every time the response to NSFW is to put it in a spoiler.

It's ok. I know I won't get busted if it's behind spoiler tags. I think what most of us are concerned about is the wrong person walking by at the wrong time and catching something in the wrong angle.

yeah yeah, Im a food perv....lets move on

It bears making the distinction that there are two types of "NSFW":

1. Visual - making sure that if someone clicks on a thread and is scrolling past one's post that if someone were standing over one's shoulder, that that person might see that picture and consider it NSFW. I believe that most of us (try) to adhere to this guideline (and yes - I personally have been guilty of doing a poor job of this).
2. Proxy Level (Big Brother is Watching) - It is possible for persons to review your page-by-page internet activity (meaning a person from your corporation reviewing your travels on the internet on your work computer).

I would say that if you are in a corporate environment where you are concerned that someone may be watching your internet activities, you shouldn't be checking LoT during work.
