Awesome
I won't share it due to the profanity. Shame.
Fantastic!
its 2011 . everyone fucking swears. get over it.
I love this stuff. More please...
Very cool, always interesting....
Oh no...profanity!!! Really, like the other dude said...get over it. The old black and whites are the best.
These photos are cool! I also agree with those living in the real world - get over the one solitary f-word profanity, Mrs. Alan Gribben (he's the idiot that led the charge towards NewSouth Books editing 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' by replacing the n-word with 'slave'. If your friends judge you for merely forwarding these pictures then shame on them. Anyone who knows how to read certainly is no stranger to profanity.
That's life these days. If we don't like profanity we must be in the wrong.
So - you want us to get used to using the f-word (unlikely since I am nearly 80 - answer me this - why aren't you using the n-word? Double standards.
Why? Because you know you would be in a lot of trouble (I expect you would use another word for that too) - if you did so. And quite rightly too!
Just because you use such language doesn't make you right.
shut up cunt
Nearly 80?! My shit-covered god(purposely lower-case to show contempt of the concept)! Get over yourself, assbag. It's been over 90 years since the publishing of James Joyce's "Ulysses," and 77 years since the publishing of Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer" and while those works might symbolize scandals of their day by way of "obscene" content, during their time (and even more so now) we exist in an increasingly sterile world. You want profane or obscene? How about genocide in the name of gods, torture an persecution of "heretics," the children's crusade, slavery, gladiatorial games, human sacrifice, ritual cannibalism etc. Human progress has not been pretty. Croak already and make way for a more reasonable future or get hip.
