I have reviewed the site.
My involuntary reactions follow:
Upon first opening the page (it took a moment to load), I saw,
"Bondage.com." Interesting enough, I thought. Nice design.
Then came the chick in blue wrapped up in a rope.
I screamed.
I think my involuntary verbal response was, if you can pardon my French, "Oh
shit!"
Well, that about sums up my involuntary response.
I cannot tell you what to do, but I think many people, particularly women
(and men) who object to the sight of other women being tied up, might find
it offensive.
Okay, so what's their number? I could use some financial help myself.

Somehow I think Katie hit it right on the mark when she said "If you have to
ask..."

Subject: "objectionable" sponsorship?
I have an opportunity to pick up some much-needed sponsorship cash
for the
upcoming season. Thing is, the company is an adult web site; not
strictly a
porn site, but certainly an adults-only sex-oriented lifestyle site.
The
name itself doesn't contain anything graphic or obscene, though the
name
clearly indicates the type of site it is.
I've scoured the rulebooks, and only found vague references to
"objectionable" sponsors. Is there any real policy here? Regardless
of the
technicalities, am I going to be looked at as a freak if I accept
the
sponsorship (that is, will I be looked at as more of a freak than I
otherwise would be based on my driving)?
I could really use the equipment the cash would buy, but I don't
want to
offend people. Any advice?
Thanks
-Brooks
