On another website which I won't name, finds the girls who pose with power tools offensive. They claim it is pornography. I personally don't see how it is.

Just a yes or no answer will do.

I don't want this to become a train wreck, so please be nice.

I don't know if you are talking about something specific or just in general. No, I don't find it offensive because I happen to use power tools when needed.

No I don't think so...I use power tools if I need to.

No, but I really don't get offended by much (and all the power tools in the house are mine anyway).

I guess it depends on what the girls are wearing. If they are in a bikini or undies, then yes, because who uses power tools in their bathing suit? But, if the girls are wearing something appropriate, then I think it's ok.

Suggestive maybe. Pornography not, unless they're involved with some act involving those power tools! People get too worked up about nothing.

one show or ad had a muscled guy posing with a leaf blower! I could have done without that pose.

I would have to see it, because I can't quite visualize why it would be pornography.

This is what I am talking about. Stuff hung up in a shop or garage.
