Yoggi's cock

[DustinSchaap]

Koxx One has a new website, it's a very nice website, a little slow to load but much better than the old one! Amanda asked me if I had seen the start picture yet, I hadn't and went to check out.

www.Koxx-One.com

What you see in the top right corner is the name of this topic. How is that advertisement? Seeing Yoggi naked isn't going to make me buy a Koxx unicycle... it has the exact opposite effect on me actually. My first words after seeing the picture was "Is that..." closely followed by "I'm never buying a Koxx unicycle".

AHAhahahaa!
What were they thinking?

[Smilymarco]

seems they dont think at all...

[Rocco]

Thats Koxx.

[Vbiber]

I totally agree. I'm still shivering, brrr, that is one nasty picture. Things, or to be more precise one thing, I would have liked to see never ever in my whole entire live.......


[EDIT] Seems to be a German gathering or may be we have some sort of taste :D

[Borgschulze]

They are selling a Prototype XTP, model #000.

And also flourescent wheelsets.

[mornish]

I don't seem to like koxx products anymore...

[ivan]

Hey, I know some german as well! The picture does look kinda strange for a unicycle manufacturer.

[eenwieler-sander]

this is sick was eating a cookie and now i don't want it anymore
realy not good advertisement

[brendan]

i hadnt actually noticed... yeah wot wre they thinking... dman seeing yoggie naked really isnt a turn on dont they get it??

maybe i should have got the KH 07.... on another note have u noticed they swapped the french flag for a holland flag?

[eenwieler-sander]

yeah i saw that i thought huh a dutch koxx site cool alsow stupid and althow the site looks good i don't like it the design is good

[Jerrick]

Yoggi needs to join a nudist colony. He seems to like it very much to be naked, even when doing a nice grind on his uni. =p

[swarbrim]

Heh, I think it's more funny than anything.

I really like the new website, very stylish but sucks for people who's flash doesnt work!.

I like their new products, I think they are really stylish.

[johnfoss]

From what I can make out, the "subject" is really awfully tiny. :)

Of course many of us saw it in much greater detail in the video contest at Unicon. WOAH! That's more of Yoggi than I ever needed to see, than you very much! Then we went to Paris for a week after Unicon. Statues of naked people everywhere you look. Lots of naked art in the Louvre. French culture. Koxx goofiness. We're a bunch of prudes.

[DustinSchaap]

John, even though I hate to admit it, you're right! We are a bunch of prudes... I was thinking, I'm opening a new English unicycling page soon and we need a spectacular opening, maybe you'd be willing to pose naked?

Cheers,

Dustin

[Jerrick]

Naked wheel walking on the wall of China pose from John!!! Woo!!!!

[Lucas1wheel]

I strongly agree with Swarby!

whats the trouble you can barely see it, look up cocks one, you'll probably find alot worse ha ha

[leo]

Seeing Yoggi naked isn't going to make me buy a Koxx unicycle...
An enthousiast open invitation to level-11?
Still he is a bad role model: he should be wearing protection (http://unicyclist.org/level11/protection.cfm)!

it isnt that crash hot, but it doesnt deter me from getting k1 stuff

Ahahahahah thats hilarious Leo, I laughed my ass off when I saw that.


Hah I found it funny. Its not like you can really see much, you can just tell that he is naked. Anyone that is offended or grossed out about it is a prude (although the U.S. and Canada were founded by prudes so I'm not surprised). Its the human body chill out. Take a peak in your pants, its the same thing.:D

[DK]

Im not offeneded or sickend at all, but I don't think putting a picture of your star team rider naked is going to help them sell uni's.

[edsbelly]

2 of the greatest things ever, trials riders, and comical full frontal nudinity

.. keven likes men =D

I concur.

[Jerrick]

Its not for the guys.

Its for the ladies! ;)

:rolleyes:

[dan de man]

I don't seem to like koxx products anymore...
me too I heard that yoggi tries every uni before it is sold;) ;) (joking)

[GILD]

Given where the 'Betty' T-shirt discussion threads ended up, this thread is just warming up.

If it was a naked young lady, would we be shouting about sexual objectification?

[Borges]

From what I can make out, the "subject" is really awfully tiny. :)
Equipment can only be judged in action, not when it's on stand by.
(That was NOT a suggestion for an "improved" koxxx website.)

If it was a naked young lady, would we be shouting about sexual objectification?
If they where using a sexual object to help them sell unicycles, yes. But that's not a sexual object, and it's appearently not helping them sell unicycles.

[Jerrick]

If it was a naked young lady, would we be shouting about sexual objectification?
Guys would be shouting something. ;)

[iridemymuni]

i think the title of this thread is actually worse than that pic

i mean who puts cock as a title in a family forum.

[Eddbmxdude]

i think the title of this thread is actually worse than that pic

i mean who puts cock as a title in a family forum.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Who cares? Its nature, get over it!

I think Yoggi is brave letting them put that up though! Its also served the purpose it was put up for. Everyone that has read this thread has looked at the Koxx page.

Rock on!
Edd

[Blegas78]

It make me want to buy koxx products more. Hooray advertising!

[iridemymuni]

It make me want to buy koxx products more. Hooray advertising!


hahaha your gay !

jokes of course :p

unless kaori is a man :eek:

but no man could be that good at freestyle so i dont think so

[tomtrevor]

looking at the picture makes me think what the long term effects of unicycling may be...

[edsbelly]

Huzzah for Koxx!!!

Ed

[mawesome]

It's not that bad. He's just putting into action the old addage* "Rock out with your cock out"

I think we could all learn something from Yoggi's teachings. "It's cool to be naked in public"




*heh, addage...

[tobbogonist]

well i gather it has worked. Without showing his "cock" in that photo/webpage do you think half the people that have visited that website would have? This thread shows it, i can safely say that nearly all the posters on this thread visited the website and even some that didnt post.
Who would have thought a todger could be so good for advertisment?
Maybe if Kris gives us a browneye his KH sales will go through the roof?

[tomtrevor]

I was looking at the new site before I saw this thread and I didn't notice that picture at all.

[tobbogonist]

lol well your obviously from the 'other half'

[leo]

who puts cock as a title in a family forum.
Somebody who wants to describe the thread correct?
Without cocks you wouldn't even have a family forum.

Take a peak in your pants, its the same thing.:D
I'm afraid for you -and happy for me- that that's not exactly truth.

I think we could all learn something from Yoggi's teachings. "It's cool to be naked in public"
And the solution against being judged on clothes (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54919)!


Or maybe we can learn you now have besides penis-enlarging cars, also penis-enlarging unicycles, so you can buy ego compensation.
But one thing for sure; sex sells. Even in unicycle advertizing.

[gkmac]

i mean who puts cock as a title in a family forum.Somebody who wanted to talk about a chicken, perhaps?

It's not so much the fact that Yoggi is in a state of undress, it's what he is doing whilst being exposed that could cause concern. From the picture, it's unclear though.

If you're at a convention and need to take a shower, you might meet the bare Yoggi while you're in there. Would you still regard it as shocking?

[DustinSchaap]

If you're at a convention and need to take a shower, you might meet the bare Yoggi while you're in there. Would you still regard it as shocking?
I was waiting for someone to say this, it's all about the context. If I'm at a convention and need to shower and run into a naked Yoggi that wouldn't surprise me much. Who showers in clothes anyway? This is a unicycling advert... I dont associate naked people and unicycling.

Before starting this thread I knew everyone was going to watch the Koxx-One page, that won't make them buy Koxx unicycles all of the sudden, Koxx doesn't get paid for a hit on their site. It also doesn't make their unicycles less good. I just wanted to know your guys opinion on this. I think it's wrong.

[DarkTom]

Maybe if Kris gives us a browneye his KH sales will go through the roof?

If Kris Holm showed us his browneye, I would buy one of his unicycles. Until then, I'm Onza / Koxx all the way.

Go Yoggi!

Chill out Dustin, or I'll show you my cock, that'll really unsettle you.

It is about context. And the picture is wrong. It is not appropriate for a general access web page where you would never expect to have that.

It creates a problem for those browsing the web in public places on public computers. Same for people browsing at work or school. If you are browsing the web from a public kiosk computer or other public computer you often have to agree that you will not pull up nudity or other inappropriate material. At work you can get fired. What would happen if you were shopping for a new unicycle at an elementary school computer lab? You don't expect to have those sorts of issues from browsing a unicycle manufacturer's web site.

The welcome page on a general web site is not the right place for a photo like that.

Would be funny though if the English version of the page had a Flash fig leaf put over the naughty bits while the French version was in it's altogether French glory. I'm assuming such images on a welcome page won't get you fired or reprimanded in France (or Quebec).

There is a time and place for NSFW pictures on a welcome page. Unfortunately for Koxx-One, a unicycle manufacturer's web page is not one of them.

[swarbrim]

HAH!

http://www.einradladen.net/catalog/images/big_so1003_tshirt_koxx_devil.jpg
Thats the 'other' picture.

Nothings particularly bad with either.

Mike

[mscalisi]

I think it's funny. I don't see why it's wrong. I think people are all too uptight about nudity, especailly in the united states. I think the time has come for people to be more comfortable with the human body.

...especially this picture, we have what, about 8 pixels worth of penis? That's hardly going to get you fired from a job, especially when it's easy to show that it was on a unicycle web page, and that you aren't exactly surfing porn.

Yoggi has an "edgy" image, and from what I heard about him, I'm hardly shocked. We sure aren't going to get this sort of thing from uni.com

[thejdw]

Thats Koxx.
Yes that should be obvious;)

[Jethro]

You have to remember who Koxx is marketing its product to. They are not exactly going after the Ladies Garden Club. I think they are doing what they think will appeal to their potential customers.

[olarf]

I agree totaly to John Childs !
There is nothing wrong or bad with showing or seeing a cock of whom ever :)
The place is the Problem. If I told a mother after training that she should take a look at the KOXX Homepage to figure out a Uni for her daughter I will have to eplain something next time I meet her :)
It's not easy to imagine for an european but their are people in the world that will be totaly shocked to see a naked man or woman in that relationship.

We have some nice footage from showerbeer party at last Wunschkonzert in Germany within a Cock (or maybe two) also and we want to stream it cause its funny over all. At least we stop cause we can maybe offend someone.

[dinmamma]

In this thread, we find:

1. A whole bunch of prudes

2. Homophobes

3. People not so subtly trying to say that their penis is bigger.

Thread of the month! :D Thanks Yoggi, love the new website

i would like to quote borat here
so it is allright if i admire another man's penis,but it to far if i stick it in my mouth?

[sarah.miller]

I had to look twice, and the second time in some detail to see what it was on that page that had e-people all worked up. Its Koxx, they like to have a "wild" image, this is teh company that were handing out koxx promotional condoms at unicon after all. The condom wrapper still makes me smile every time I read it.
After nude football and unde uni races I have no problem with teh odd small full frontal pic.

[fexnix]

I've seen Yoggi's Koxx ! :P
Couldn't resist such an easy one :D

T.

That is so sigged

But while I'm here I might as well have some input.

Everyones too prudish these days. Just get over it already, it's really not that bad.

Kind of reminds me of the south park movie "deplorable violence is alright as long as nobody says any naughty words". It's being made out like it's just a giant picture of Yoggi's cock as soon as you click the link, sticking out of the screen, waving mockingly in your direction.

[johnfoss]

If you're at a convention and need to take a shower, you might meet the bare Yoggi while you're in there. Would you still regard it as shocking?
Very. I stayed at a hotel. With my wife! :eek:

Koxx is being themselves in their web site. But I agree with John Childs it is not appropriate for an international audience, and could get some visitors into trouble. But I think they already thought about such things, and decided to do it anyway. Part of the Koxx message might be on the order of "this is who we are." If so, they don't intend to sell to everybody, but intentionally choose to limit their market.

I did not actually look at the site (yet). But I will eventually, because I like the products. But there will be some people who I won't recommend looking there...

[mornish]

go there!

they have some awesome new stuff(like fluorescent trials wheels!)

[forrestunifreak]

If you're at a convention and need to take a shower, you might meet the bare Yoggi while you're in there. Would you still regard it as shocking?

Not at all. But, the internet is not a public shower.

[headstone]

Yeah, because the internet has porn and child molesters.

[ntappin]

Not at all. But, the internet is not a public shower.

I find that very amusing, because, isn't the internet supposed to be a place for anything and everything? To be honest I think there is already too much censorship on the internet but thats another argument.

Another thing is if they had graphic pictures of violence, not necesarily gorey but a clear act of violence, I be people would be much less alarmed. Nudity is part of who we are and by freaking out about things like this I think we are just making more prudes in the world. If I had a young child I would have no problem with them seeing that. There is nothing moraly wrong about it, its just a bit wacky and unpleasant to some, the only problem I have with it is I find pictures of yoggi's (or any man's really) Koxx to be rather unattractive but I think the same thing of a fat chick with a muffin top.

[john_childs]

Yeah, because the internet has porn and child molesters.
Which is why parents don't give their children unsupervised access to the Internet. It is also why schools, libraries, some businesses, and many parents use some sort of web filtering software to make the red light district on the Internet less accessible.

If Koxx-One isn't careful they could find their site on the other side of one of those web filters. Then some people won't be able to get to their site at all either to look at their unicycles or to look at the gallery to download videos.

It isn't about being prudish. I have no problem at all with nudity in art. I don't go around fighting nudity. There is just a time and a place and a method for public nudity and the welcome page of a unicycle company is none of those.

[forrestunifreak]

I find that very amusing, because, isn't the internet supposed to be a place for anything and everything? To be honest I think there is already too much censorship on the internet but thats another argument.


No need for censorship. Better judgement should just be against something stupid like that.

[Jethro]

No need for censorship. Better judgement should just be against something stupid like that.

Forrest, I know you are looking at this from a Christian point of view, and as a Christian pastor I appreciate that.

But remember that there are two completely different cultures at work here. The French never had the Puritans that have so pervasively influenced our American view of the human body. As a mature Christian, I am sure you know there is no biblical mandate against nudity, only against lust.

The two don't have to go hand in hand.

Try to take a step back and look at it as a Christian living outside the United States. Do you think you would see it the same way?

[mawesome]

There is just a time and a place and a method for public nudity...

Yeah, it's called College.

Yeah, it's called College.

the initial proposal from the rating agency was X (for adults only)!!!!
why? the film is supposed to happen in a village in africa the hero is a small boy who goes naked and all womens had bare breasts. So the censors said "no bare breasts"! the author was so baffled that he refused to change its drawings:p

Yes, perceptions and reactions to nudity are cultural, but also regional and local. It is not the same everywhere and is not necessarily consistent. How would that film be rated in Canada, or England, or other countries? National Geographic can show naked villagers, why is it different in cartoon form?

In the US we have inconsistencies due to local standards and different local laws regarding nudity. Here's one news story as an example: Law of nature prevails in Vermont (http://www.boston.com/news/local/vermont/articles/2006/08/23/law_of_nature_prevails_in_vermont/). Some areas and towns allow some public nudity while others do not. It is not consistent all over the US. This is also a country where we'll have big debates about breast feeding in public. And again, the feelings and laws on the matter are different in different localities.

But the point is, there are cultural differences regarding nudity in public. If you're airing a web site to the whole world you should take those differences in to consideration. It is common to label such images as NSFW (Not Safe For Work) which is a warning that what you may see may not be appropriate for all areas so use your judgment about whether you want to click through or not. Viewing such images in the wrong places (area) can get you in trouble, which is the reason for giving the NSFW warning.

[Beener]

I am more upset that Yoggi isn't riding naked. I mean really, it's a uni website, get on a uni. If you going to wiggle your wee Willie on the internet, might as well promote your product at the same time.

While i think the current picture is quite funny, i think a photo of the male genitalia suitably arranged to make unicycling comfortable would not be a pretty sight.

That's the Fremont Solstice Parade in Seattle (well, the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle). They have naked body painted bicycle riders in the parade every year. It's tradition. Last year there were two naked unicyclists along with a group of clothed kids on unicycles.

Nakedity in the parade is expected. No one watching the parade will be surprised to see naked body painting cyclists. I'm not sure of the actual legality of the public nudity display, but I'm not aware of anyone ever being arrested for the display during the parade. Properly body painted it no longer resembles nakedness.

Here's George Bush on a unicycle (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hunterji/169173097/) NSFW but still clean

Some of the other unicycle pics are more revealing and do clearly show proper unicycling posture.

Oh no, not a whole ten pixel's worth of buttcrack!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[wobbling bear]

But the point is, there are cultural differences regarding nudity in public. If you're airing a web site to the whole world you should take those differences in to consideration. It is common to label such images as NSFW (Not Safe For Work) which is a warning ...
Since I sometime feel offended by web site contents (but not by nudity!) I understand your point. so be warned!

children may glimpse nudity in some videos trailers :p

I find this thread strangely compelling.

It seems to me the length of the thread far exceeds the subject matter.

[Zzagg]

This is also a country where we'll have big debates about breast feeding in public. And again, the feelings and laws on the matter are different in different localities.Do you mean there are places in the US where breast feeding in a public place is not legal?
I just can't believe it!:eek:
Did I miss something or aren't the US called the "Land Of Freedom":confused:

As for the "tiny full frontal jumping nudity" I think it's pretty bad taste, but I wouldn't call that "schocking".

Since there seem to be a big issue on pictures by these days, I would say that I much prefer seeing Yoggi's attributes on a uni-related website, than a soldier unicyclist parading in front of a tank in a uni magazine...
THOUGH I haven't seen the "tank, gun & uni" picture yet.

Edit:
It seems to me the length of the thread far exceeds the subject matter.This is so nicely said... thank you for the good laughing Cat';) :D

It's not technically illegal anywhere in public, but there are still areas where the woman is at risk of being charged with indecent exposure. They're working to get protection and exceptions from the indecency laws to protect women from that. Still not a consistent playing field across all of the states.

Making consistent laws throughout all of the US is difficult. In the US the states to make their own laws as they see fit. The federal government only has authority over what it has been granted in the constitution and what it can blackmail the states with (withholding federal funds if the states don't do what the federal government wants). Everything else is up to the individual states. So something could be legal in one state and illegal in the next. It can make it difficult to know what exactly is legal in a particular state or locality especially if you are traveling and not from the area.

The freedoms we have are what are in the constitution. But not everything in life is defined in the constitution. So those areas get covered by individual laws in the states.

Europe and the USA have different views on many things regarding governing. We look at some of the laws and restrictions in the EU and scratch our heads. You look at some of the laws and restrictions in the US and scratch your heads.

I don't personally consider it shocking either. I'm concerned more about the possibility that naked pictures could get some people in trouble in certain situations. There are also parents who would prefer to shield those types of images from their children at certain ages. That's one reason some parents install internet blocking software.

You look at some of the laws and restrictions in the US and scratch your heads.Yes, I knew that laws mainly depend on the states policies, and there are still "old" laws wich seem particularly obsolete (just like us in France;) )
...and BTW, We look at some of the laws and restrictions in the EU and scratch our heads too.;)

It was just to express my humble opinion on the "koxx affair".

have you read the book "loony laws" :p ?
in fact the founding fathers did a very good job when thinking of the balance between central governance and local knowledge ... but , as usual, the most carefully crafted plans could be biased by loony persons ... that's human!
This said I am deeply worried by an evolution of many societies as a whole: I was raised in muslim countries and I witness that when I was young the public at large was less prudish.
That happens in some parts of other countries too and my baby-boomer culture is deeply in shock when learning about "purity balls":eek:

[wobbling bear]

that reminds me of a funny cartoon: the farmer discovers his teenage son drawing a nude woman ... except that on the image the lady has got multiple nipples on her breasts (they look like a cow's udder)..
So the father says "it's about time you learn some more things"

2 questions:

1. How OLD is Yoggi?

2. Would it make a difference if he were wearing a condom, so his private were largely covered?

[wobbling bear]

1. How OLD is Yoggi?

2. Would it make a difference if he were wearing a condom, so his private were largely covered?
born in 1983 (so very young!)
what kind of condom do you envision to cover all his privates?

[ntappin]

2. Would it make a difference if he were wearing a condom, so his private were largely covered?


HAh I think that that would actualy make it wayyy more funny. If he were to wear one of those opaque black condoms, maybe in magnum size to be able to wrap over his other areas, it would look like a censor bar yet you would clearly be able to tell whats there.

I was recently thinking about what JC has been saying about overprotective parents not wanting their children to see it and how people at work might get in trouble. This seems like the only logical argument to me (IMO).

Although I find it pretty funny, I'm not really a fan of their bad boy image. I have no problem with the idea of of some crazy fun loving individuals but I'm worried they are trying to get the image portraid by skateboard companies. Thankfully they still have a ways to go and are still in my good books, although now with this stunt they are also in my funny books aswell :p.

[amanda.gallacher]

haha this thread is funny :)

[mornish]

it is:)


arguments are fun/

[unicycle6869]

In this thread, we find:

1. A whole bunch of prudes

2. Homophobes

3. People not so subtly trying to say that their penis is bigger.

Thread of the month! :D Thanks Yoggi, love the new website

I agree! Thread of the year for me. I haven't laughed for a thread like this in a long time. Thanks everyone.

Shouldn't surprise people much if you know Yoggi and his attitude towards life. Personally I like it. It's like a easy going dun whatever attitude. I also like the fact most of his uni's are named after strands of marijuana! I'd almost say people should be more offended by that then by his naked picture but that's a whole nother thread... I love Europeans!

[Probailer2]

Yoggi's plan worked very wel I see :)
I don't mind if he shows his wiener, but if he test every uni like that then I would never buy a Koxx sadle :p

Is that because you're too lazy to wipe it with a cloth?

I totally see peoples point about getting into trouble by looking at it at work or school or what not and yes maybe they should have a page that comes up first warning people. But what I don't get is why some people want to shield those types of images from children at certain ages? I just dont get it. If a child saw his image, would it corrupt them and make them bad people or what? Can someone please help me understand this? I'm just curious what people think is going to happen if their kids saw his image....

Actually, when I backpacked Europe for 2 months and the other numerous times I've been there, I actually felt more free over there than here in America. You don't see many cops over there, but here you see them everywhere. If I just had to guess I'd say America has at least twice (if not much more) the amount of cops than Europe has. Not that cops are bad cause they do protect people and make things safer, but I feel more restricted and less free when I see them all the time.

[johnfoss]

All those cops are there because Americans are always trying to be free-er than they're supposed to be. Every free land has rules and laws, but some free societies are better at living by those laws than others. In America people like to break rules a lot, and to a large degree it's socially acceptable. If it was not socially acceptable to know your cousin Jimmy was a criminal and do nothing about it, we wouldn't need so many cops here.

And maybe we wouldn't have such a high percentage of our population behind bars. It's called personal responsibility, and it's something we need to re-learn over here. Don't approve of cousin Jimmy being a criminal? Do something about it. In the long term, you may end up having a very positive affect on his life.

I'm only joking...

[dudewithasock]

I'm not offended by the picture, but as JC said, I don't think it's appropriate for an international website.

Honestly, it makes me not want to even shop for Koxx products, because now I'm going to associate that brand with male genitalia, which, in my opinion, are only slightly less nasty than vaginal yeast infections. I even think my own penis is disgusting; I mean, I'll give it some attention every now and then to shut it up, but honestly, it's gross.

Oh, and...

this whole thread

That's what she said.
