Hell-O Magazine

Instead of 'gluttony' and 'sloth' they should bring accuracy into it

I'll have a family size 'spotty with big guts and extra arse'!

Pizza-slut, that particular nickname is world wide. Dumbhoes is a new one to me though and not very good.

The content doesn't worry me personally, but if they gave that to my 8 year old I'd be pretty bloody annoyed... yes!

The other day, I heard on 91ZM of a canadian pizza place selling similar items, with a porn mag distributed with it....BUT, you had to have ID when ordering to ensure you were of legal age to see the said material...

I have one of the dirtiest sense of humour I know of (apart for a couple of other ladies in here...Mrs KD & Sunhunting, love your style

), but I got to admit that I'd like to see, as a mother, a few more restrictions on the distribution for the Hell Pizzas...

Just plain common sense, I guess...

look at your avatar (very nice by the way!) - are the website restrictions enforcable here?

Their whole business image is geared around sin, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they're nwo using a magazine with a prositute on the cover to sell pizzas.

Why thank you...you raise a good point, which I have actually wondered about.

I'm my view, my avatar is reasonably tasteful...you can see roundness and some form of detail, but it is clothed...and also, I would hope that it would be sufficiently subtle not to offend anyone...I have consciously selected one with clothing, and if it had been a nude, I would have censored it myself...

But if anyone is finding my avatar disturbing, by all means, let me know and I'll place a chihuahua in a bathing suit instead.

For the record, that image is not there to get your boys going (even if it seems to have that effect), it is there because I love to look at beautiful things, and that butt happens to be a very nice one...besides, it is a also like my personnality: VERY CHEEKY!

007XX your avatar looks just fine and dandy to me!!!

is it you?

**more_fasterer** · 19th July 2007, 11:10

Good on the mother for whinging I say. It would be very un-kiwi to let such a minor thing slide.

Its was funny and edgy once but now it's a bit contrived and sad... They need to do something unexpected and different - this isn't it...

ah yes but thats the problem isn't it - your view and someone else's view are not necessarily the same - these things are COMPLETELY subjective and always will be

personally i dont see the diff (in terms of the 'level of taste', if you will)between your avatar

and nicky watson's bust protruding lustily on the cover of the hell rag

- both are decidedly salubrious as far as im concerned and, more importantly, are as ubiquitous as the sun these days....

but the discussion on the use of condoms as part of some jocular marketing...i mean really! gimme a break! its a condom, get over it! the world uses and produces, what, a gazillion of them every day?! ooo no, lets pretend they dont exist and hide them from our kids! get real....

I agree with you to a point.... the difference however between this site and the advertising from Hell's pizza is that we are all adults here and can decide wether we want to look at something or wether we don't, and can control it accordingly...

the advertising of this company is out in the open, given to just anyone, with little or no regulation as to whose hands and/or eyes will get on it...It is crass advertising for the sole purpose to shock and get attention, without any thoughts for who it may affects...it is slightly irresponsible!

And as I said earlier, if my avatar bothers more than 3 people, I won't be offended, I'll change it...
