As for people cribbing about a few wallpapers? Where do you live? Under a rock? Have you been under house arrest for the past 10 years?

I personally sat down and removed at least 1000 wallpapers of stuff that could be considered offensive. I can't believe you still found a few offensive.

They're wallpapers, and people want to put beautiful women / men on their desktops. All you do is crib about how we shouldn't have put those images, while others complain about how we're too strict about the content, and should stop being paranoid.

Let's look at this in a different way:


If you see a woman on the street wearing what you consider to be "skimpy clothes" will you...

a) Walk up to her, tell her that what she is doing is wrong?

b) Add her to your list of people to kill when you finally lose it?

c) Oogle like hell, ask her out on a date, get your face slapped, go back to your street corner looking for the next one?

d) Sue the clothes manufacturers?

e) Bombard her parents with obscene phone calls and letters, threatening them, telling them to buy her salwar kameezes, OR ELSE!

f) Look the other way and get on with life?


If you think a clean magazine like Digit is giving you the worst of the technology world, think again. The Internet, e-mail, MMS, TV, Other mainstream magazines and newspapers are all bringing you racy content, and pushing the envelope, Digit isn't.

99 per cent of you guys will have content on your mobile phones (SMSes or MMSes), e-mail inboxes, on your hard drive, and elsewhere, that you KNOW are a lot worse than the wallpapers we gave. Stop being hypocrites.

Yes, we did have a few (5 out of 2000) wallpapers of women or men in bathing suits — they were actually game characters, if I remember correctly — and they were there because they were all part of a set of similar wallpapers. And ALL of them would have got a "G" rating from any ratings board — I've seen more skin in music videos, bollywood movies, theatres, TV serials and even cricket comentators!

I suggest you stop wasting your time nit-picking about silly stuff.

Someone mentioned that they didn't like the articles? Now that's more like it! Tell us what you didn't like about a specific article, and what you think we should do to improve, or what you would like to see more of. We'd love to hear from you guys!

Of course, please share your feedback in the correct forum section!

thanks,

For some people - a naked kid's dancing in rain - photo main be child pr0n. lol. pr0n or porn is different thing.

And, it is not the wallpapers for which the magazines sales depend. It is just a free stuff, which barely has any relation to sales.

Even if you stop digit, the thing doesn't stop here. You have to stop - TV, MEDIA, NEWSPAPERS, etc....

Superb Raaabo!!! You gotta grow up kids. and if you want the wallpapers to be censored then perhaps you want every skin colored spot to be patched up!! gimme the wallpaps and I'll patch em up for you... Personally

We always check the wallpapers before we put them on the CD/DVD.

love to see a definition of porn

[paul_007]

great said raabo,

pls guys those who r shouting about wallpapers ,magazines covers pls grow up , i know what do u when no one is at home or at night

[Pathik]

exactly raaabo....

[Raaabo]

pornography
n : creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire

(Dictionary.com)

I don't think we can yell too much about someone calling something pornography, because what is porn to me might be art to you. It's very subjective. Whether it's offensive or not is what matters.

PS: On a lighter note, going by the dictionary definition, if you think something is porn, you are being aroused by it! So, continuing along those lines, it didn't take much to arouse the few people who complained, did it?

Man there is no reason to fight for the particular topic porn in digit..

[satyamy]

Their is one rule
"ex Sells Everything"
But one thing is that Digit dont need to do this type of things for their selling

[uttoransen]

se*y and pr*n are two different things. i hope the readers of digit know this, and also for the admins, please give us more filtered wallpapers, i know it's tough to filter those 2000 walpapers that you are refering, but 5 passing by are not an excuse, i know you can do better than that, stop all that and make it more clean. thanks.

[ruthless]

Well I get the hint and iam sorry for that post. But i hope that DIGIT wont give such wallpapers in future

Well this is the 2nd part. I have some more questains.

1. Why do SKOAR and Digit DVD contain same games?
Most of the SKOAR readers are ALSO Digit readers. U gus keep on saying about the pains u undergo to download stuff.IS THIS FAIR?

2. Why are ARTICLES reprinted? FOR eg. O2 xda atom review must have come atleast 3 times.Ditto the article on NolanBushnell.

3.Why do you keep on giving MONSTER TRUCK MADNESS with almost every offer?

4.I had posted about fouth annuversary issue. U didn't give the games u promised to give. i saw the ad in the THE WEEK which promised H&d2 and midtown madness 2. But inever got it .Will someone who was working during that time explain it?

[FatBeing]

1. I've responded to this before - you're looking at it the wrong way round. Digit has many, many more readers than SKOAR! - so more people get to enjoy the games. More importantly, this happens very rarely.

2. Name the issues, otherwise we'll just dismiss this as a rant.

3. Another exaggerated rant. Monster Truck Madness 2 was a subscriber gift, and was given with the fifth anniversary issue. When else have you seen it?

4. This was a mistake, it seems.

[ruthless]

Thanks for clearing that up.

[alltime.homie]

Nice Speech Raabo ! Someone really needs to grow up and ask himself - "how many times do I see stuff even worse while flipping through TV channels everyday ?"

[ruthless]

[ruthless]
