is this

the nicky in question?

**Hitcher** · 19th July 2007, 13:21

Yes, I am offended. For the same reason as all other misguided inanity offends me: it fucks with my intellect. I'm not offended by Nicky Watson's tits -- although she should be.

Hell's Pizza seems to have no idea what their marketing proposition or target audience is. I suspect that their tweenie "marketing" manager has dropped one too many party pills or got laid by some wannabe creative with a wet-dream promotional concept. In six-months time they will both be somewhere else and what's left of Hell's Pizza will be looking for the Next Big Thing.

Accepted, but any creative with half a brain could do better. There's a big difference between "sin" and "sleaze". Particularly not-very-clever sleaze. Haven't they heard of risque and double entendre? Both of these are artforms, when well executed.

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

we are?

seriously tho - anyone can view this website can't they? i would call that little or no regulation as well....

if anyone wants your avatar removed i demand right of recourse/retort....(drooling male)majority should rule, not the lowest common right wing conservative denominator, surely....

Sleaze is a subset of sin, so no real difference there. But you're quite right, not very imaginitive even.

In my opinion, absolutely. Feel free to disagree. Intelligent discourse gives me a hard on. In my opinion.

I'm the opposite - I've had their pizzas before and wasn't impressed but their advertising does attract attention so it's effective. It certainly doesn't offend me!
