The least they could do is give that poor woman some PPE, that bush is a major fire hazard.

I worked in a research lab in the 1980s and in the office they had stacks of Penthouses. Every time you looked at one you had to put $0.25 in a coffee can. When they had enough for a new mag someone would go out and buy one. Times certainly have changed

Stelco or Dofasco? My dad was a Stelco man but my uncles worked at Dofasco.

Reminds me of the mid-70s high school job I had at a friend's dad's tire recap factory. There was a Playboy centerfold prominently displayed in the bathroom. Never happen today

I worked in a very old manufacturing plant, and as an engineer sometimes had to cover for night supervisors when they were on vacation. This was in the mid to late 90s.

One night I had to find an electrician, and went into one of the remote locker rooms to find him.

The entire room - walls, lockers, door, and even the ceiling, were covered with centerfolds. Even the tables had them glued to it. I was both shocked and impressed at the amount of work that took.

Even then that was not okay, but I wasnt going to be the one to point it out (and get the union guys mad at me). The place went out of business and was torn down years ago.

Funny what we used to think as normal.

I had that poster on the wall in a welding shop in Paramount, California in 1978. The way the sun lights up her pubes is really remarkable.

We had centerfolds taped to the inside lid of our lock box at work in the 90's. Hired a female apprentice, they were gone in a week. Then she got her own outhouse, with a lock.

I inherited a locker in the Army which was tapestried with centerfolds. I was NOT allowed to take them off and was the only guy allowed to keep centerfolds “officially” and not need to take them down at any time - the others tried and every now and then they had to take them off. My locker was considered art.

When starting work, teams were working in either 4 or 5 shifts, 24/7, and women were not allowed by law to do night shifts in production. The team rooms had centerfolds, sexy post cards were sent from vacation and pinned for years to the pin-boards. Newspapers had a naked babe on the first page and on page three, later just on page three. And everything unmanly or team-averse was ogled and loudly condemned as first warning, called “gay” on second warning, while third warning could be up to physical confrontation.

There was no shop, wherever you went, changing tires, repairing electronics, where there was not at least a calendar with nude babes. Bosses had the Pirelli Calendar on the walls behind them, just above the pictures of wives and kids sometimes 😊.

Lady customers , lady employees were supposed to not take any offense. Sincerely so. It was inconceivable in the 1980s, after all what everybody had done in the 1970s to be offended by nude pics.

Ladies were in majority topless on the beach, mid 1980s mostly in thongs (thongs are back, but topless is as rare as in the early 1970s late 1960s). I had girlfriends, who did not even pack a top when going to vacation.

Unthinkable today.

It's so weird to have pictures of naked women on your wall.

I managed to follow my dad into a couple of gas station’s garages in the’70s. They all had calendars of topless girls on the wall.

I would have never thought "bush" until reading the comments. It definitely looks thick to me, but not like a thick "bush". I guess people know who the model is and that's how they know what it actually is. I thought the pin-up was just someone everyone could enjoy looking at, no matter your inclinations.

This reminds me of my time as a submariner. Over the life of the boat, various members of the crew had cut out pictures of topless/nude women from magazines and glued them underneath equipment label plates in Maneuvering. It was a pretty well kept secret until the CO found out people were also drawing dicks in hidden places all over the boat. He made us remove and scrub everything inappropriate from the boat. So sad to remove so much collected history go away. The future crew will never know the record for highest reactor power achieved without the RO getting disqualified.

I in the mid 90s my dad's friend had playboy centerfolds hanging up all over his garage. My dad would take me over there while they worked on cars and I would just sit and stare at the pretty women.

People need to get over it. They watch violence happen all the time and do it willingly, they pay money for it, they vote for mass murderers who drop bombs on children and weddings. They murder animals to feast their fat faces.

Then get scared of boobies.

That's psychotic, straight up serial killer psychosis.

Ok yeah, that hypocrisy I for sure understand, especially since I’m from the US and that’s our bread and butter here. But again, some people are just not wanting to experience any of that blood n guts stuff either hahaha
