Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I've always felt that the more a product sucks the more they use T&A to sell it.

[–]RICH_LITTLE 8 points9 points ago

Here's the original ad, the second line of text in the posted link was added. Not that it changes much, but still.

[–]cbraga 2 points3 points ago

your original is a fake

[–]ufamizm -1 points0 points ago

captainshithead...that is all

[–]Confidence_Throwaway 0 points1 point ago

I've actually seen RICH_LITTLE do that a few times. That's definitely his gimmick for getting karma.

[–]SneakyPete27 -5 points-4 points ago

Thanks for that, I had seen the ad before and thought something wasn't right.

She'd definitely be a great trade-up...

[–]Bilbo63 18 points19 points ago

She's very cute for sure... for a 12 year old. This ad creeps me out.

[–]silentnoise -3 points-2 points ago

I must be a pedo then.

[–]rayagun19 16 points17 points ago

How old is that girl? She looks like a 16 year old. It'd be nice if they could start using women in ads and not girls. It reminds me of the God Bless America quote.

Frank: It's unethical for me to answer that question because I refuse to objectify a child. I mean that's part of what's wrong in everything. I am not American Apparel. I am not the creep that came up with those Bratz dolls.

Roxy: All men like young girls.

Frank: Oh, that's what society is tryin' to sell ya but you know maybe its time for adult males to aim a little bit higher than raping kids. I mean fuck R. Kelly. Fuck Vladimir Nabokov. Fuck Mary Kay Letourneau while we're at it. Fuck Woody Allen and his whole "the heart wants what it wants" bullshit. You know... apparently, that erudite genius' heart wants the same thing that every run-of-the-mill pedophile wants. A young, hairless Asian. Nobody cares that they damage other people.

[–]kilgoretrouted 17 points18 points ago

Or it would be nice to stop objectifying women in order to sell a car to a man.

[–]gafinklewitz -1 points0 points ago

My thought exactly.. I don't think it's such brilliant advertising.

[–]anothertimearound 18 points19 points ago

We condemn Islam's view/treatment of women, yet still subscribe to the objectification of female virginity.. sigh

[–]whatthe_f 13 points14 points ago

replace brilliant with sexist and yeah.... you are right

[–]I3ombastic 17 points18 points ago

Humans like sex. Sex is really really good at selling products. They use attractive men to sell products to women as well.

The day that humans stop liking sex is the day you will stop seeing these ads.

TL;DR - get the fuck over it

[–]The_Music 3 points4 points ago

Stop downvoting this man, he is %500 right.

[–]anothertimearound 2 points3 points ago

It's not the concept of "sex sells" that offends, but the suggestion that a woman becomes devalued by having it.

[–]longroadplease 0 points1 point ago

Christ... grow a sense of humor.

[–]Son-of-Man -4 points-3 points ago

Quit being a whiny cunt.

[–]MikeLove9 -2 points-1 points ago

the faggot is strong with you

[–]Majorskan 14 points15 points ago

Fuck everyone who thinks this is brilliant

[–]SPOCK_THOUGHT_FIRST 9 points10 points ago

And fuck you back, friend.

[–]longroadplease -4 points-3 points ago

Right back at you, humorless cunt.

[–]RoastBeefOnChimp 4 points5 points ago

Selling you stuff you don't need with a little T&A. Yeah, brilliant. I'm sure nobody ever thought of that before.

[–]dubdubdubdot -1 points0 points ago

Oh yes, sound logic for buying a car...

[–]gafinklewitz 1 point2 points ago

I actually find this kinda offensive, or at least disturbing. The girl is automatically objectified..

[–]jmdxsvhs15 -2 points-1 points ago

I own a BMW. Its not bad ass by any means its a 2000 328i and it still gets me an occasional girl who thinks its a 30 thousand dollar car. It should say, "She might be retarded, but do you really care?"

[–]youhavemystaplers -2 points-1 points ago

LMFAO!

I needed a good laugh today... sigh, thank you.

Is it simply because of the Bimmer logo? Probably.

[–]suprxtragrav -3 points-2 points ago

Your probably right. Most people don't know the difference between an m3 and a 318i

[–]jmdxsvhs15 -3 points-2 points ago

No joke, I think its just the logo. I have even went as far as to explain to them its worth $8,000 and the response is always,"Who cares? its a bimmer..." Mine is always, "you're right. who cares? now put your head back down we're in traffic..."

[–]mrmiyagijr -4 points-3 points ago

one upvote to anyone who shows me her naked

[–]CaptainBus -4 points-3 points ago

The thing I hate most when using secondhand is clearing out all the crap the previous owner left in the glove compartment. If you know what I mean.

[–]Vik1ng -2 points-1 points ago

Just use the a different compartment.

[–]Sorryivetakenit -3 points-2 points ago

Nope, as long as she has FSH I'm happy

[–]SneakyPete27 6 points7 points ago

Follicle-Stimulating Hormones...always gets the revs up.

[–]TTTTDaniels 0 points1 point ago

I work for bmw and I believe this is the first time I have seen them using sex to sell their cars, then again I don't really pay attention.

[–]dookieface -2 points-1 points ago

There was an AD war between BMW and VW or Audi. And, this ad was one of them
