Since when did this become a DOWNLOAD forum. I thought we were here for marketing,
Doesn't seem to have offended the 239 people that have just downloaded it
If you don't like porn - don't frickin' watch it or read it. Same thing with chocolate covered bacon. Don't like it - don't eat it. See how a free life works? This politically correct bullshit is just that BULLSHIT.
It has always amazed me when someone says they are offended by something. (and "something" could be anything) WHO CARES. In reality, no one gives a shit if you are offended by something, that's all on you and has nothing to do with anyone else. It arises out of your own conditioning and belief systems.
Hey "One" - that's a good observation. Another thing to look for are the headlines they use. Magazine covers are awesome resources for brainstorming headlines, content, niche products etc.

Bro he violate the forums law here, porn things are not important in this forum, and the OP can be penalized because its a marketing bullshit here not a section for porn !
Nice share, and I've appreciated the great shares by Still Standing as well. Any share that people appreciate should be allowed as long as it's not illegal, such as child porn etc.
I'm getting ready to do some split testing and these tutorials will fit right in.

There's nothing pornography about this AD/Magazine cover used in this post. Therefore the ONLY way you are going to know that it contains pornography is if you download it. So, basically everyone on here complaining is a hypocrite to say the least. If you are offended by pretty women... That's not a pornography problem THAT IS A PERSONAL PROBLEM. (smile)
As for value of the post. There are all kinds of marketers that use this site. For example myself. I'm not only an Internet marketing genius but also a professional photographer that produces a digital magazine. So, a post like this actually does have some value to a person like myself who might be interested in seeing the quality of the Penthouse product compaired to my product. So although I originally was not interested in downloading this after having written this and given it some thought. I'M IN... Downloading now.
Thanks for the share my friend.
For everyone else...
Just skip and go to the next post. Problem solved.

Please tell me we aren't going to make this the latest battleground for trying to define the word - pornography.
Governments, churches, civic organizations, legal systems and courts, and - yes - even the Nazis have tried to do it.
Didn't work for them and won't work here. Here's another word - obscenity.
Anyone want to try defining that one?
And for the record - I am a proud citizen of the U.S. My only reason for raising this is that I try to follow (most of) the laws of the land.
The U.S. Supreme Court - the highest court in my land -could not define pornography. For you pundits out there that claim Playboy and Penthouse are pornography, the Supreme Court says NO.
The same applies to other publications like Hustler.
So posting these does not violate any forum rules - neither even come close. There have been other posts, which could have (and should have) elicited just as strong or stronger feelings as the posting of these two publications.
Personally, I like looking at beautiful women - both nude and clothed. And as a professional copywriter - if you want to read great copy - try reading these.
They are awesome and you can learn from them. So, like it or not - even when you frame your complaints that this is not Internet Marketing related - you would be wrong making that statement.
Thanks and reps go to the OP - I hope to see more posts just like this.
As has been noted by others already - if you don't like it - don't download or read it!
That's what you call freedom of choice and of the press - and a few million Americans and other citizens of the world have died fighting for those ideals.
Pornography?
Not a f*cking chance!
