No, the admin put up a defensive message and didn't reply to replies to that.

There's the thread if you're interested.

What a horrible forum, makes me just want to have a big VF group hug.

Don't worry guys. I've just got off the phone with the CEO of The Internet, and he said he'll look into taking the photo down when he's finished the systematic destruction of ACS:Law.

I hate it...

Why the hell is a bed in it? The bed spread looks like something from a hospital. :roll: Oh wait... It's a woman and probably trying to secks up veganism... Why does the fashion industry model body shape have to be desirable? Not only does it ignore the fact that vegans are all shapes and sizes, but it sends out the message that women should aspire to be thin. Do they have campaign posters with men on too?

Though it isn't as bad as...

nice.
next time, make the blue box a little bigger to leave more to the imagination. It's too easy to come to lesser conclusions.

Do you think that is related to my vegan diet? :oops:

Now these are the legs that make me think "I would like to have dinner with that person!"...The original ones are rather these "Could I break the leg with one kick?"-legs. Terrible. People saying awful things to promote veganism are one of these things you stumble across every now and then. They talk about Jesus, Krishna, looking like a zombie, stopping a 'holocaust', a vegan jihad or the cute kittens you save. It might work as advertisement, people might go vegan, but for stupid reasons. Nice for the animals, but after the revolution they will also be put up against the wall. Just a little later...
