Ok, some hate it due to whatever reason, some love it due to whatever reason and some really some don't care either way.
Surely that's the conclusion of both these long winded threads.
Mods. Shut it now before we get to page 14 of mindless squawking.

@binners

The Fat Slags are virtually Victorian in their attire compared to I remember when this was all fields.

so STW won't show the vid but they will advertise the fact that they wont thus actually promoting the vid??? plus they will post such utter drivel as the vain Vagrant which is nothing more than a advert for various companies. amazing editoral work that is.

I am pissing in the pool as we speak.

..and given the amount of sharting at work threads, I imagine there might be a few UFOs* in here as well.

*Unidentified Floating Objects.

Campylobacter it turns out, which to be honest produce outputs more akin to ghostbusters style slime than identifiable "objects"

It is hilarious that people are getting all wound up about STW's stance.

Aren't these the same people who moan on about PC gone mad and the 'professionally offended', but now they are offended that STW chose not to cover a shit video? 😕

I think you'll find that STW has covered it quite comprehensively.

I found the vain vagrant video offensive because it was shit , scantily clad women aside Danny's poorest video still had more appropriate content.

Woe betide I look at women my time is better wasted watching close ups off cooperate logos.

It's 2014 folks, stop finding women attractive you bunch of weirdos, or it's chemical castration before your next allowed to log on.

Because those are the only possible options: be a proper man and treat women like objects or go gay.

The number of replies in this thread that seem to indicate that people think that others object to the video because it's got ladies not wearing many clothes in it is staggering.

If i want to look at ladies in various degrees of undress that's my prerogative.
And I can do that and still treat women with respect .

I would rather have a subscription to playboy than be a judgmental numpty .

I hope none of you prudes ride oranges as in the video I saw of their factory , the workers had pictures of nudey ladies on the wall.

Maybe singletrack should make a public announcement and boycott them.

You really don't get it do you chip?

No one is shocked, or incensed, or deeply offended at the video.

There are no sensitive prudes hiding their eyes.

Some folk are just a bit disappointed that Danny, who seems like a genuinely all round nice bloke in everything else I've seen him in, would go down the tacky casual sexism route so readily.

So are we finished now? Can we close the thread and stop any more on it appearing? Please?

You'll want to speak to Graham. He's the one who started a new thread, when there was a perfectly functioning one already in existence.

So in summary, 29ers are the best.

Seemed like a different topic to me: my intention was to acknowledge what STW Towers had done and show them some support in the face of the flack they are copping.

Ah well.

Yes that, and also "Waaaahey booooobies!"

Julie Birchill rides 29er.

Anyway, it would appear that we can surmise the following,

Cyclepassion calendar - Ladies paid to get their kit off and bikes. Absolutely fine, front page material in FGF.
Danny's latest - Ladies paid to get their kit off and bikes. OUTRAGEOUS, BAN THIS FILTH NOW!

I'm sure the STW calendar from a couple of years ago had a month with either a naked girl or two girls kissing. Can't remember exactly but there was something.

Sounds like tremendous hypocrisy?

And I'm pretty sure loads of folk on here complained about it, saying it was tacky, immature, misogynistic and something they expected from MBUK not Singletrack.

So perhaps rather than being hypocritical they just accepted that criticism and learnt from it?

Because I think it is possible to read playboy and still treat woman with respect.

And I would not judge someone for making a video at Hugh's house .

Shame , danny was such a nice boy untill he made this vid .

Cinnamon girl, I would rather share a drink and a laugh with danny than some one as judgemental as you .

Well done STW. Would have been cooler to just ignore it and not mention it but then who would have known a stance had been taken?

Shouldn't have featured the Vain Vagrant extended advertisement feature either (unless there was a fee involved)

Also, away from the morals, both films are crap.

No, you'd judge someone for thinking a video made a Hugh's house is a bit tacky.

That's much better.

How remarkably open-minded and not at all judgmental of you.

So last week we had the girls snogging in the vain vagrant but that was ok cause it was a bit beardy weirdly and arty?!!
But the big " we're not showing the DM at the mansion is banned on Stw.
I may show my age here but this reminds me of radio one DJ's back in the day deciding to ban Franky goes to Holywood relax. Sad then sad now let people decide and don't wave your we certainly won't be streaming that smut on our site flag.

No I am judging her for saying I think with my dick based on all my previous statements.

How remarkably open-minded and not at all judgmental of you.

Thank you.

chip - assume you don't have kids? There's plenty on here who do and who cycle in some form so it's highly possible that Danny Mc is a hero/has status in their eyes. Do you think said kids should watch this vid? Let's have some replies from the parents on here, why not?

My daughter has already seen it. She thought the riding wasn't up to his normal standard.

This was better

Aviemore though - hardly the Playboy mansion

Wouldn't bother me if my children saw it, it's jus bikinis, and tennis,
There's a lot worse they can stumble upon on the net.

I would not be over the moon with my daughter being a page 3 girl.
But her as an adult that I hope I had bought
up properly with open eyes to the world.
If that is what she wanted I would accept it happily if she was happy.
As she is old enough to live her own life .

If Playboy makes you think of, world renown paedophile/necrophiliac, Mr Saville, then I would love to see the mental gymnastics that got you to that conclusion.

Hi Jamie,

What I mean is that both completely gives me the creeps. It's just.... yuk and creepy. Sweaty old creeps pawing and drooling over scantily dressed women/girls. Which is a similar feeling I get when I think of Saville, before and after the news.

I don't see that as mental gymnastics. Both are creepy.
