To ask dp to take the FHM Calendar down?

[hobbgoblin10]

It was up at work. I went in to help for a couple of hours and noticed he had it over the top of the usual one.

I said I wouldn't help while it was up and that it was a bad example to his teenage DD who will see it this weekend when she visits.

I don't mind him watching porn but I did mind this as it was more public and also do not like the idea of writing DD's vaccination dates/swimming schedule on such a work calendar.

I think he may have been testing my reaction for a bit of cheap and easy humour but still...

What do you think?

Tacky, offensive crap.

God what age is he?? Yuck YANBU!!!

YANBU

Tacky in the extreme, and only really appropriate if you're about 15.

YANBU. Ok in a teenagers bedroom but not for an adult work environment. Yuk. Saying that my friends dp has a page 3 type calender in his tool shed and the kids play in there. Uhh.

oooh nasty.

YANBU.

(are you a different person to hobbgoblin?)

YANBU

Totally unacceptable, particularly in a work environment. What on earth do his female colleagues think?

naffo and tacky indeed and prob teen DD doesn't need to see Daddy's wank fodder but I did lol at 'also do not like the idea of writing DD's vaccination dates/swimming schedule on such a work calendar'. Sorry

Where does he work?

nasty and immature of him

weeeeelll... what's on it? Yes, attractive ladies, obviously, but it what kind of state? Surely the FHM calendar is a little more tasteful than the Loaded or Nuts calendar (assuming such things exist?).

If they are clothed, non-porn women I don't see the problem - after all, lots of you would quite happily have a Daniel Craig/ Richard Armitage/ David Tennant/ Justin Timberpants/ (delete or insert according to taste) calendar up if you could.

this is last year but I mean if you think this is porn or degrading you need to get a life and address stuff that really is degrading to women, frankly.

you could always visit armed with pritt stick and other images cut out of mags/catalogues such as donkeys, hippos, nerds etc.... Stick over them

Good point about the alternative male version but I would find that a bit icksome too. There are nicer (non-kitten, thatched cottage) calendars to be had.

I need to know the workplace.

Is he a city banker? Or a CAB adviser? Or an icne cream van owner?

ice cream van, not acne cream

or stick big zits and facial hair on them

I could use an acne cream van right now... it's a bad TOTM.

YABU

It's just pretty women, going by previous years. His choice, surely?

I love all the assumptions being made on this thread.

You could do what I did when I was 7 to my 15 year old uncle's collection of topless/bikini clad gals all over his bedroom.

Get a magic marker and draw smiley faces over the nipples and give them glasses/groucho marx moustaches/blacked out teeth/stubble etc.

He hated it!

He should take it down. Inappropriate in the workplace in this day and age.

I went to do a visit in a school recently where the librarian had calendars and posters featuring (a) David Tennant and (b) the barely-shaving what's-his-name out of that god-awful desperate Twilight shit up on the wall. I found it amusing.

If the calender is like the one UnquietDad linked then I don't really see what the problem is.

i like the defacement ideas

i can't justify my objection awfully well but i think in a nutshell it's the public lusting, the fact he comes across as a hormonally challenged twonk, and the way it looks to the DC.

Could that ever be classed as "wank fodder"?

It looks more as if it´s aimed at teenaged girls!
