@Nick Chester: I think that many employers might consider an image of a woman in distress forcefully restrained by several men while a milky white substance is poured on her face to be of questionable content.
Post what you guys want -- no need to censor yourselves -- but don't act like you are surprised that someone claims this is NSFW. It depends on where you work, naturally, but Ben has a point. To simply dismiss it is unfortunate.

jim u genius all these comments on a really uneventful article that people would have overlooked it worked on me
Sorry, I guess I did kinda fly off the handle, but seriously, some of this stuff is just so weird that I don't think my employers would waste time asking questions.
I don't want to instigate any "GTFO" comments, because I know it's not like I'm forced to come here, but I like this site a lot and I enjoy most everything the editors have to say.
But, for quite a while now, some stories are accompanied by images that not only have nothing at all to do with the story, but might also be pornographic in nature (even though the naughty bits are blurred out). This image doesn't exactly fall into that category, but as you can see from several previous user comments, the content in the image is awfully suggestive.
Look, I'm a bailiff in an Appellate Court building, and everything I see on my computer could potentially pass through other people's computers (like our tech dept). And if they see something like this, flag it, and send it to my boss, I might have this site blocked from my computer, lose any internet privelages at all, or even face greater consequences like suspention or termination. And even if I didn't get in trouble, you have to admit that, out of context, this could make people looks like serious weirdos. I know I could just decide not to come to the site at work, but come on, these images aren't even remotely related to the topic. It's a vide game enthusiast site, am I right?
I swear, I'd be laughing with the rest of them if I were at home, but this is stuff that could get me in trouble when I'm at work.

Yay censorship!! I am the Great Censortron!! Don’t show me shit (near nude and provocative images) that might get me fired when I am engaging in activities (surfing the net while being paid to work) that might also get me fired!! You stoopid fuxs!! God forbid I exact some self-control and skip over the offending image or at least be cleaver about slacking and minimize the window!! In the future please provide an additional verbal warning as my eyes cannot always determine what images may not be “work friendly”……or naked!! ;)
@ GameraTheGreat :
I feel like I'm the only one who's complained here, so I figure that nice comment was aimed at me.
I'm allowed to surf the net at work. Dtoid's a gaming website, and 90% of the time, they post work-appropriate material that is no prob whatsoever.
But occasionaly, this kinda stuff pops up and it always takes me by surprise.
It's not a matter of minimizing or closing the window; nothing I do on this computer is private.

I was going to read this, but then I saw this picture of Nick Chester holding Felicia Day in an armlock/hand choke while Hamza Aziz is holding Carrottop's withered grandfather in a chokehold while special guest star Jim Sterling pours milk on Felicia Day...
After regaining consciousness, I could go no further. I was stopped cold.
Jim, when you die, please donate your brain to science. Man must have a clue as to how your mind works for the good of society.
As for this article; I am sorry, what article?

No sweat...I am a dick sometimes, but knowing is half the battle!! I didn't mean it to be anything more than a playful joke.

I was gonna make a comment about how these people are carrying on Dillinger's legacy of robbery until you made that comment!
It's fair enough that people get the rights to the likeness of loved ones, but this is beyond belief. This guy died in the thirties, and I think we should have passed some sort of statute of limitations. At this point anyone should be able to make Dillinger merch, since we all knew the guy just as much as the family did: Not at all.

@citaro: Personally, I just think that this particular instance it makes no sense for them to block the use in the context of saving his likeness from deprecation and idiocy. Also, it's not suing to release the name for everyone forever, but only for the ability to use the name in it's (very specific) Godfather games.
Are those guys helping that thing rape that lady and making sure she tastes good? I really wanted to read this article but I just keep looking at the picture for some reason.
jim you never can get critics like a man...never.
plz...change this sick header. its ugly....or is dtoid.com the new fucking ROTTEN.COM?

Now that the froth has settled, I would like to note that the dude the FBI killed was not Dillinger.
"jim you never can get critics like a man...never."
I am not sure what this means. Please expound.
"plz...change this sick header. its ugly....or is dtoid.com the new fucking ROTTEN.COM?"
Is it REALLY that bad? I found it on Google and thought "This is weird, should entertain people or at least confuse them for fun." I really don't understand what's so "sick" about it. It's freaky, but the way people are talking about this you'd think I posted child porn or something.

Yeah, John Dillinger was a...pretty cool...no, no. I can't comment about the actual article, sorry. The header's just too weird. Not gross...just weird.
@Blue Ryd3r:
I don't know anything about the Dillinger family, but I do find it were how much governments rely on simple biological relationships. For all I know, his half sister hated him and only now controls his name to make money off of it.
That may not be the case, but to say something akin to "family members should be able to control their famous dead relatives' likenesses" sounds dangerous to me.
I do understand there are rights to photographs and such... Eh, actually, it's late and I don't know what I'm talking about. :)

mh....it looks like a rape, and the broken personality of that man (yeah..thats why it looks like a neandertaler) has to watch all this shit.
so...and when you especially use my comment to comment...than look what other ppl say/said
