A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    I’ll have to apologise as well, giles. I sounded like a jerk in my anger. Rick rollin’ people is fine (or stupid, but harmless), but crazy browser scripts = the evil

    Personally, I think “MistahG” should be banned. Linking to malicious scripts is something that could quickly get out of hand.

    After reading a few other peoples replies I checked the site out (more to look at the method of taking over the browser than in the hope of tits and ass).

    Install noscript and firefox to help protect your machine. Just some advice from a Linux System Administrator.

    You can find noscript here. http://noscript.net/

    On topic with the picture, I find any well made tool to be sexy be it a stripped and rowdy ’72 shovelhead; a pistol, or the carved/curving flesh of a man or woman. After all what is the body if not a tool of our will.

    Too bad so many pseudo intellectuals who run around pissing and moaning with poorly informed opinions about the meaning behind guns, or nudity are nesting in these forums.

    Specifically “MistahG” I would pity you if I didn’t loathe your kind so much.

    That kind of angle is a very, very big no-no. Generally when I see people doing something like that it’s my hint to get out of the place before someone ends up in jail. I can’t tell if it’s loaded or not (I’d hope so, and I can’t see any, but with the color/lighting filters/photoshoping used I can’t tell) but it’s still dumb to wave around what looks like a Colt Anaconda (or a Python. that rail on the top is pretty distinctive. I’d also be willing to put a bet on a Taurus Raging Bull simply because this seems like the “type”) at someone’s face. And this is coming from someone that *owns* more than a single gun.

    The photo is alright. I’m not into guns, but it’s nice to look at.

    I have to say though, anyone who still falls for rickrolls, ESPECIALLY considering tiny.cc gives a website preview before you click, pretty much deserves it.

    theXanadian, it’s not Active X, if it was too many people would be immune for the scriptwriter to feel good about himself.

    Human.v2.0, my money’s on an Anaconda or Python. Much lower front sight assemblies than on the Raging Bulls. But I agree with you and nature223 about this type of looking-down-the-bore picture.

    “kiss me, you bitch.”?

    Wow- I know- I am officially one of “those” people.. but while somethings just get under my skin and ‘bother’ me

    others will prevent me from having sex wiht my husband for a week and probably keep me up tonight and cause nightmares the times I can sleep- and stop me from logging back onto a site I really love for a while.

    not because i am hyper sensitive- but because of the extreme nature of being violently raped. Not because the image or words- but because the reality.

    We had this huge debate here about how pictures of cutting could “trigger” cutters and I defended the right to show images for the source of empowerment and reclaiming one’s body in celebration. You can’t avoid everyone’s quirks and triggers.. but come on– a gun being pointed at the viewer under the words “kiss me you bitch”- it is a misnomer.

    I wish I knew how to better express my feelings about this- but please do know on a sincere level- more than just a faceless name in the void– this is a trigger, for some who already spend large parts of their day fighting just to function without living constantly engulfed in fear.

    it isn’t the image- it is what this post portrays.

    AND of course.. I just realized that the words are about the post before this one!!!

    still I hope to kind of call attention to how important it is to be aware of the words we use- and in what context- because it produced the same terrifying response in me to see the image wiht those words above. and it will still impact me the exact way I described.

    but I see that is my error and the words were for the previous post-

    my apologies.

    Still in all images like this leave the same mark I mentioned before-but without the words- it is just a matter of opinion to me.. an image i don’t care for while others might..

    “Kiss me, you bitch” is the link to the previous modblog entry where the girl is kissing her dog – the female version referred to as “bitch” – it has nothing to do with THIS picture.

    You’re over-reacting. There’s a picture of a hot guy with a handgun – which is a fucking hot, awesome picture. People like guns. People don’t like guns. People like lopping their penises off, people don’t like lopped off penises.
