Just wondering why this is labelled NSFW. The link is to the Daily Mail in the UK. Is it recommended that women shouldn't read the Daily Mail? Anyway, you've told the story in the thread title - so the cat's out of the bag.




Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

It’s recommended that no one should read the Daily Mail. It’s tabloid trash.

In my profound ignorance, I thought it meant Not Suitable for Women. Maybe I’m a latent misogynist - but no, I’m not.

 

I still think the label is superfluous and inaccurate so I change my comment to:

NSFW = Not Safe For Work

 

i.e. don't have this article on your screen at work

The big shocker here is how this might be considered offensive at someone’s workplace.

Closeups of celebrity body parts and things like that advertised in the middle of some articles. It's not a good look.

That has nothing to do with this story in particular.
