    Not offensive, just tired of seeing the posing women. Where are the hot, muscular men posing by the latest sewing machine?? :):)

    I personally enjoyed it:)

    Have no issue with suggestive tool girls poses either.

    This is what I am talking about. Stuff hung up in a shop or garage.
    Tamer then what they had on the bombers during WW2, which is considered classic art now.

    Meh, it's a little indicative of that video involving women and power tools but, can't see how it's porn.

    Just a yes or no answer will do.

    I don't want this to become a train wreck, so please be nice.
    They should see my Snap-On Calender :mrgreen:

    As long as the guys in the hardware shop don't expect me to dress like that when I buy a tool off them, it is not offensive.
    And the new young guy who has started down there - lots of women buying tools from him last weekend! LOL. He looks like Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise, and he says please and thank you and looks you in the eye when he talks to you, and he flirts a bit. Thats fun. When he has a comb over and a beer belly, it is not fun!
    Bring on the depends adds. At least her chest will still be perky at that age, by the look of that boob job!
