Awesome.

That's what I call service.

Umm, I think you mixed up something. It doesn't say NSFW image is inside until you are inside the article with said NSFW image loaded on screen.

Gotta look that one up...

ewwwww... please take that picture down!!!

We have censored this picture for your delicate sensibilities. If you are a pervert, the uncensored extremely NSFW version is inside.

Censorship Fail. This line was not placed before the break, so no one sees it until they click through.

@LiquidGravity: Yup, and I clicked through with my 12 year old daughter looking over my shoulder....

so what you're saying here is that my Buckets o' Cum DVD case is empty

Whoa. That's more porn than I ever expected to see on consumerist. Anyone else feel like watching the Superbowl?

consumersit - NSFW?....

Ben, you have to ask yourself - does the uncensored picture add anything of value to the article?

I hope the guy who bought the DVD player washed his hands after this little discovery.

@taking_this_easy:

I agree. This was surprising to see.

Bad on you, consumerist. The censored picture was fine. And I'm not easily offended. But this site shouldn't have highly NSFW pictures.

Seriously...consumerist? Put the NSFW tag up! I like to read your site at work, but don't like stumbling across this, warn us next time please :(

@antisane:

and clicking through to an article about a "buckets of cum" DVD was appropriate without the image? I mean, she can read at 12, yes?

@kylenalepa: that's prolly why the disc was still in the player. didn't want to get the eject button sticky

Some DVD players come with Happy Scrappy instead.

@kylenalepa: Or:

"I hope the girl who bought the DVD player washed her hands after this little discovery."

Damn English and its lack of a gender-neutral pronoun! Alternatively, damn my lack of reading and comprehension skills in determining that a Flickr user with the username of Lisaya is probably female.

So that's where that DVD went.

I vote for removing both images. Censored or not they both will get me in trouble at work which is where I commonly read your site.

@I_am_Awesome:
Yes, it adds completeness to the article. Besides, censorship is evil.

Tacky of The Consumerist to show the NSFW edition on this page.

Very tacky. There are way too many people who read this page, including children and teens, to assume NSFW photographs are appropriate for easy viewing.

@Raekwon:

I agree.

@Gravy Spasm: laughing.

this makes me so happy... another step for best buy towards making to the final four in this year's 'worst company in america' tourney.

@Raekwon: if we're taking votes, i vote a bigger version of the original be placed up on the site. like this one [s5.tinypic.com]

I'm not going to comment on the picture, but I will comment on the article title. Perhaps the "Buckets of Cum" could have been replaced with "Porn/Adult DVD" or something along those lines? I only say this because the titles of the articles are huge and easy to read from afar and that definitely got my coworker's attention when he walked by. I'm lucky, I work in construction in the field with a bunch of guys so this kind of thing doesn't bother them. However, I can see how this would bother other people.

Gratuitous dong alert! No need for this pic, really. A clickable link to the flickr page would have been enough if anyone *really* wanted to look at it.

@Raekwon: I vote you don't visit the site from work.

NOW THIS IS COMEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um, so, NSFW warning or not, the phrase "buckets of cum" didn't raise a red flag?

I'm not a prude, but i think the censored image was enough to convey the message, and a link, with a warning, to the NSFW picture offsite would have been sufficient. A pornographic picture on Consumerist can only do harm to its reputation. Many if us follow this website at work, and I am really hard pressed to find a good reason why somebody though it would be a good idea to place that picture on the post.

@Applekid: Great Randall scene.

Censorship is when the government institutes penalties for publishing certain words or images. When a company chooses for itself what is or is not worth printing, that's just judgment.

This won't stop Consumerist from being my favorite site, I'm not on a holy rampage, I just agree with those who could have done without that picture. A link to the flickr posting would have been fine.

@Thassodar: Buckets O' Cum 4 was 100 times better AND cummier.

@LiquidGravity: Yeah I just ran into the problem myself. Please label NSFW in title guys!

@LiquidGravity: Same thing happened to me. Just get rid of the NSFW picture, make it a link if you feel the need to. I wanted to make a funny comment but now I am just upset.

Over the last few years, sites have required people to sign up and state that they are over age 13 because the site may have adult images or themes. Since Consumerist doesn't require viewers to sign up (nor require them to claim they are over 13), I would presume that Consumerist is violating whatever law started requiring sites to do that. I think it's easy to believe "we're all adults here", but considering that this site probably has attracted a lot of viewers of all ages, it would probably be very easy to demonstrate that you're doing nothing to prevent children from viewing adult images on your site. Yes, they could probably find this picture on flickr themselves, but at least Consumerist wouldn't be held liable. For your own protection, you may want to rethink posting the uncensored picture.

NSFW, and also TGTBS (too gross to be suitable). The story, though is funny.

Paging Helen Lovejoy...Helen Lovejoy to The Consumerist please.

Is this a "Golden Ticket" promotion? Does he now get to visit a porn set?

This is my photo and my husband and I really did find this DVD in our player.

We bought it at the Best Buy next to Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara/San Jose.

If anyone returned a DVD player there with Buckets of Cum in it, contact us and we'll give you your DVD back!!

Yes, it was pretty funny! At first my husband was thinking, "Sweet!!! Score..." when we opened it up. We got a good laugh, but then I started thinking, "Wait a second, we bought it as a regular item, not open boxed. Why is there a DVD in there then?"

We were going to complain, I called Best Buy that night, but they were closed, so I was going to call or complain later. Never really got around to it and my husband was happy we got free porn out of it.

Too bad most of it was cheesy porn. It was a great laugh though. =)

Thanks for the post. =) Love the site by the way.

Uhm, your NSFW picture appears in the RSS feed, which meant it was happily sucked into my mailbox. Fortunately not an issue where I work, but you should probably think these things through more carefully.

I have to wonder when BB started doing this. I was an employee there about ten years ago, and the policy at that point was that any item returned but working and sellable would be re-sealed and placed back on the shelves at a discount as "open box" the next day. Of course, we had to thoroughly test items before they could be declared fit for open-boxing. With a DVD player, I'd expect that testing would require opening the disc tray at some point.

Closest thing to this I ever experience while employed there was discovering a videotape of "Cum Sluts vol. 9: The Face F*ckers" in a VCR that had been brought in for cleaning. The tape belonged to the couple that brought the VCR in. We presumed that someone was going to get in trouble when we tactfully returned the tape to them wrapped in paper. We were wrong. They removed the paper, both blushed, exchanged a knowing look, and thanked us.

Oh my, there's an uncensored pornographic image on the internet, and your kids sitting behind you saw it?

Idiot.

So what's the problem? Sounds like a Value Added Service!

@Ouze: i agree 100% little darlin' is going to grow up some day.

I hope they didn't touch the buttons, DVD, or remote. Who knows where those fingers have been...
