    Default Burton Love and Primo snowboards

    As an owner of one of these nice boards (the Love 58 with the tennis girl on), I find it very surprising that people are voicing their concern, suing Burton and sending massive amounts of letters of complaints towards the American company.

    Ok, with Primo I can understand. Mutilation shouldn't be condoned at all, however artistic it may be.

    But what's wrong with the Love boards? I asked a friend and he told me they complain because they think we are using women as pleasure items. Well, what has Burton to do with this? The girls have been in Playboy already, in the 1970s, and they just put them on the boards. What's wrong with that?!

    Women as pleasure items? How uncouth!

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    I agree fully - snowboarding is scandalous. Sadly, my home mountain happens to be one of the biggest snowboarder mountains in the world.

    Seriously, maybe people don't want to see porn when they're on the mountain. Snowboarders are offensive enough as it is.

    Two questions? How much do they cost? And where can I get one?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    They clog up the hills, sit down in the worst spots possible and scrape the snow off of everything. Not that all snowboarders are bad, just the vast majority.

    So? Why should we care?

    People have a right to express themselves however they see fit. Don't like it? Leave quietly.

    And other people have a right to complain to the operators of ski resorts so that nudity and graphic self mutilation images are restricted from the lifts being run by the private companies.

    Skiing areas are places of beauty, and I'm not going to sit and say nothing while that beauty is tarnished.

    But how can beauty be tarnished? The girls were in Playboy in the 1970s, so what's wrong with that?!

    Newsflash:

    Private companies are also bound by the laws concerning freedom of speech.

    As a society, we can't ban everything we don't like.
