    This is the Help Desk. We don't do polls here.

    As for those pics, I'm not seeing anything funny about them.
    If I recall correctly, there were more pics than that in your origional post. Worse the the above.
    Yes they are misogynist.

    I cant remember all of them but here is a link http://www.oddee.com/item_96674.aspx

    they are an example of adverts that were actually published in major newspapers and magazines in the 50ies\60ies

    how is it any different to the pics posted here?

    oh yeah i posted this with a poll in beerguts and it got moved here

    I have shown these to a number of female family\friends while they couldnt believe these were actually real. They in fact all amused them greatly

    Admittedly they are similarly mysoginistic to these images. I don't know the precise alignment of the BGRH forum as I don't post there, but I would imagine that it has evolved away from such humour.

    But you're best PMing the mods of the forum to make that a bit clearer, unless the charter answers that question.

    I modded BGRH for a while and post there every day. As Gordon said, BGRH has evolved away from anything mysoginistic. It's there for a bit of fun but there are limits.

    so lads reading between the lines ye are saying that all the fun has been sucked out of this forum

    so I think I will just stay clear of the forum for the foreseeable future, if such harmless pics warranted a completely over the top overreaction by the mod that dished out the ban
