Off Topic · 2011 Official UltimateKnicks ALBA Draft (DRAFT HAS STARTED) ***NSFW (page 12)

Solace wrote:Different perspective, I suppose. Anyway, I think it's natural for people to choose celebrity or supermodels. The familiarity is part of the attractiveness, I guess.

I hate that so many simply default to celebrities. Don't you ever get tired of people recycling the same predictable faces over and over again? Plus, the argument I already made, that swimsuit models otherwise having an undue advantage, as evidenced by the two prior winners (Rafaeli and Maran.) How many supermodels do you think will be left at #64?

I vote we try something new this year and see how it goes. But again, if you guys feel otherwise, put it to a vote.

It is. I may have to rethink my next selection and pick someone who looks even better naked.

hmmm, let's cap it at topless. Thanks

I think the tournament was better without nudity personally.

I kind of agree. Aren't we voting for the most beautiful woman, not the sluttiest?

I definitely agree

If you guys feel strongly enough about it, perhaps setup a poll and put it to a vote? At least now we know we can do this. Whether we want to or not is the next question.

My feeling is that if the majority share you're sentiments (and I suspect they do) it will be reflected in the drafts and the outcome of the competition, with or without censorship.

It's like in basketball. Perhaps you want your team to draft the most skillful players, not just the most athletic, but is that to say you want athletic guys banned from the draft?

In sum, allow me to pose a simple philosophical question. If you think a SI model is the most beautiful woman in the world and I think a Playboy Bunny (or other) is, should we not be able to pitch them against one another in competition for the majority to determine?

here's a good example... my work browser reset the "images: turn off" function to "turn on" and I clicked on this to turn in my picks. It's one thing of some bikini picks slip through accidently, it's another when jugs slip through, and it is yet another when somone really tries to push the envelop. I have to make some of these choices while I'm on the clock do to the time difference, not that I would enter the Alba thread on the clock either

Also, while I understand we only *know* of a couple female posters, I do think that implimenting the NSFW aspects alters the thread from "boys being boys" to borderline misogyny.

dude, last year's winner, Josie Maran, had the trashiest photo of the whole contest. the one where she's sucking milk out of a cow's teet and looks like she has ejaculate dripping down her chin:

no titties (except cow titties) necessary and this pic, to me, is more misogynistic than any of the topless pics posted so far.

SupremeCommander wrote:pick 32 - Arianny Celeste

Not too shabby.

You go boy!

This proves what? I don't think this pic was posted last year; at least I never saw it. That pic is just kinda tasteless and probably would've been removed with or without the topless restriction. Strawman argument for sure. eViL, you can do better.

If you argument is that not all offensive pics involve nudity, well I would've thought that was obvious.

i saw the pic at some point in the competition. i don't recall when.

i don't know man. i just think a tasteful shot of a naked woman is no worse than bikini or lingerie shot. i just don't get the line that's being drawn. a pic of a woman with a see-through shirt, where you can see some nipple, or, a bikini pic, where the nipple is clearly present through the top, and it's ok. but a bare breast is not.

honestly though, i'm more concerned now with the fact that i've been arguing in the chick pics thread. that makes no sense. back to fun times.

Just a difference of opinion. It's fair to say that maybe it shouldn't be the line, but it's one we're used to. I agree with SC's concern that it might chase off the few females that do occasionally post here.

Anyway, I agree, let's get back to fun times. Keep the draft going. I still have one more pick.

less talkie more boobie

nyk - second round officially started?

So, obviously Andrew and I have not followed this thread too closely, but let me add my 2 cents. From a website perspective, I guess we don't mind the NSFW pics in the Alba thread, but perhaps we defer to NYBocker on the topless versus non-topless pic for the tourney itself since he is indeed running the show. Don't know if these words are a bit late, but there is the deference. Your call on how to proceed Bocker and sorry for the confusion.

you're right... because while I "get it" it went right over my head because I just think it's gross

You go boy!

she is the pick for the men who prefer the ladies to be built for speed, as opposed to comfort

PS after I finish my tennis match I will post the pics

jimimou you are on the clock!

Since boobies are allowed here already. I think we can continue. Just no full frontal or hustler shots. I think for the tournament, its martin/Andrew call. I don't mind the boobies. I love them, but the tournament really floods the page with 4 polls going at a time.

With the 33rd pick of the 2011 ALBA DRAFT, the nyc jimimou's select none other than Italian born hottie Elisabetta Canalis. Having had success as a model, movie and television actress, she is the ideal triple threat for any up and coming squad. This bombshell beauty is truly an A list talent. Judge for yourselves:

A woman's a slut if she shows her junk, but she's beautiful if she just barely covers it?

Looks like it's on you, Bocker.

I look at it like this. Martin/Andrew are already cool with 3 concurrent NSFW threads on the front page (this, Alba, and the breast test). Soon, these 3 will be off the main page, supplanted by the 4 then running tourney threads. So if they're cool with 3 now, I think it's fair to assume they can handle 4 then.

If you're not up for making the call you can pass it on to me.

Or, just setup a poll.
