Definitely NSFW

I love Brent Grimes (and his wife) even more now. Wow, just wow...

[CF DolFan]

So I'm guessing he asked her for a blow job for his birthday and she got him this?

Accoding to Landshark this is NSFW.

Mike how about giving your own heads up next time.

Sometimes I don't get the whole NSFW thing. I mean I know pictures of topless women is not appropriate for the office, but this is a cake and not even really all that well done IMHO. Can't really see anyone at my office being upset if I pulled this up on my computer screen at work, I think most would get a pretty good laugh out of it (yes, my office has both male and females). I wouldn't make it my screensaver or show it to the CEO but c'mon, do we really need a NSFW warning on everything? I've seen some really lame stuff flagged as NSFW (not this in particular, but I didn't think it was all that offensive either). Maybe I'm just old and jaded and stuff like this just doesn't really register with me anymore.

Better to be safe than sorry with the warnings.

The whole idea behind it is that what you do at work is monitored and could be seen by your boss.  And your boss isn't paying you to use the company computer to look at a cake of a girl sucking a guy's cock.

It totally depends on where you work on whether or not it's NSFW but something like this should generally be regarded as NSFW.

True.

Yeah, but they are not paying me to look at Facebook either and I see FB on people's PC's all the time.

Those people should face disciplinary action or Facebook should be blocked from work computers

Landshark has it wrong. 

Nobody's boss is paying you so you can surf, this website either. 

But the NSFW label is relevant for anything of a sexual nature, because if a coworker sees you on facebook or ESPN.com they won't sue the employer for sexual harassment.  If you are looking a nude pictures they could sue your employer.  And a coworker alleging sexual harassment will get you fired even if your boss turns a blind eye to you wasting time.

This is supposedly his cake from last year. Seems to be a theme with his cakes. It is very nsfw.

Not every company has the same policy when it comes to computer use. Facebook is not blocked at my work and it's acceptable as long as it doesn't interfere with your work. It's pretty much accepted here that people will use their PC to check FB or their e-mail or something like that from time to time and no one really cares as long as you get your work done. Besides if you work at a place like that then you really don't need a NSFW tag on things because if it's a picture of your dog, you shouldn't be looking at it.

Nude pictures I can see as sexual harrassment. A picture of a birthday cake depicting a sex act I have a little more trouble seeing as sexual harrassment and I have seen pictures of things that were far less sexual in nature then either of these things listed as NSFW as well, like cartoons that merely hint at it being sexual in nature.

I think Spider is the most accurate here, better to be safe then sorry but the US has gotten far too prudish when it comes to sex for it's own good in my opinion. I don't think anyone would bat an eyelash over this cake in Europe.

Edit: This is the definiton of sexual harrasment from the EEOC. Does a picture of a birthday cake depicting a sex act really fall under this description? I'm still of the opinion we have gotten carried away with the whole notion of what isn't safe for work, but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
