I thought that self mutilation one was quite clever.
Did any of the Shamoknee posse complain about the "Fish" models?

I'm tempted to take up snowboarding just to get one of those.

Er, OK, go on then, but I bet you won't.

For crying out loud they're not even that revealing - have these peope never seen a woman's a4se before?? If you don't like it don't buy it - simple. If women want boards with half-naked men on it wouldn't bother me. What is the big deal?

Naked lady one here.
And surely no worse than the 2004 Rossi Scratch BC (erect nipples and all).
Like Mosha Marc, I too think the so-called self mutilation graphic just a clever cartoon.
Burton must be laughing all the way to the bank - they couldn't get this publicity for less than many tens of thousands.
I bet both boards sell out in days.

sorry but using self harm as a marketing tool is pathetic-
if a ski company used pictures of fungating breast cancers as a top sheet I think there would be universal outcry and rightly so.
Suicide a, self harm and depression are not funny/cool.
Th eteam that came up with these; art directors, graphic artists and marketing folk are pathetic

Burton's marketing department needs a kick in the ass. There's no point designing your graphics to appeal to twatty little 13 year olds who think 'edgy' 'controversial' subjects are intrinsically cool, or that ur hur hur hur boobies ur hur hur hur, when they really should know that most snowboarders are fat bankers in their 40s spending their bonuses on a mid life crisis. They should put a picture of a Porsche 911 on there instead.

That naked lady one looks very retro 70s Playmate to me. Likely to give you a bit of a porn-reading virgin vibe though.

edsilva, while technically they are depicting self-mutilation, I'm not sure that you can really draw a parallel with what is usually referred to as "self harm". I know many people who self-harm, and all of them still have 10 digits attached. I think they have tried to go for a bit of "edgy fun"

paulio, paulio, but I'd want to be able to order a 911 picture matching the colour of my own ones - which would imply a quiver of boards into the bargain.

Now Smugglers' Notch Ski Resort will not allow employees to ride the boards at the ski area when on duty. They said the boards are inappropriate. Sugarbush is also considering a similar ban. A number of other resorts across the country have followed suit.

Like, thank feck there's nothing bigger to worry about in the world.
Is it OK if they're good god fearing, gun totin', white, christiaan, nakid ladees? probably - at least if McCain/Palin get into power.
Sorry, was there a bit of generalisation and stereotyping going on there? Shurely shome mishtake...

Can someone explain how cutting a finger off, in a cartoon = the promotion of self-harm? I understand if you had a really cool person with a load of razor cuts up there arm or something. Are there really "self-harmers" who cut off whole fingers?

parlor, remember, the protests are from our cross pond cousins. They don't do irony.
And there still is a chance that they might elect a president-to-be who believes the world is only 6,200 years old and thinks the "Land that time forgot" is a documentary.

Argh! Blatant self-promotion and deliberate stirring from the Burton marketing department, but then again I want to defend their right to free speech even though they suck... my brain hurts!

Perhaps those complaining have genuine concerns that the only naked lady their boy will ever see will be the one on his Burton board. Can you imagine if they had the Sun/Daily Star in America.
As for the self harming thing, for christ sake don't let any of them see Tom & Jerry. I watched one of those cartoons and suddenly had a fixation with smashing a cast iron saucepan against my head. I guess it would be the same with this board and losing my fingers.
I always wanted a Jenna + Briana board... even my wife fancies those two.
Porsches is a good idea. A facelift 996 Carrera 4 in Lapis Blue it is then, please Burton. Come to think of it, a picture of my wife driving it topless and that will tick all my boxes.

Two names of ski resorts which unquestionably allude to rude and dirty things 
I think I shall boycott them and ensure nobody who comes to tea with me shall go there..... tut
