Wow! I am very surprised about how upset people are about this poll question. Nudity is not a bad thing, but I guess I understand the point of kids viewing this being a problem. This question is probably the most tame thing kids have seen or heard when it comes to nudity/sex. I throw sex into this because I think that is what most are thinking about when voicing objections to this poll. I think this is a most innocent poll question. Who hasn't gotten out of the shower and stubble upon their dog? Thats all the ? is asking. Is there a better, more interesting question that could have been put up instead? Definitely, but the outrage about this question is a bit over done in my opinion. If this is something that some parents don't want their kids to see than I think they must have to parent their butts off. With everything on the internet, tv, and other kids in class, I would think that this is the least of parents worries. I know most people who respond to posts on this website are older folks who maybe have kids, but for someone like me (being 27 yrs old), I just think there are plenty of other things in this world to be upset about.

Easy solution, Michael's already got his article material and interviewed the prominent breeders ... ignore it.

It's just a question, with no relation to the other two, and a silly one at that; and really what dog give a hoot if he sees his owner naked and what owner cares; or should I say, why does Michael care.

I think this question reflects back onto Michael and not in a good way. I also think it is a morales issue and if the majority are offended by the question or feel uncomfortable with it, it should be taken off the homepage. It makes one wonder what the alterior motive is behind asking such a question. There are strange people in this world. I am sure if Michael stops and thinks about it, he will take it off.

[Lady's Daddy]

You really think he cares if your dog sees you naked or not? Do you think he gets off on it? It's just a silly question and that's all it is in my opinion. I agree if people don't want the question up on the main page then I guess it should be removed. It seems really crazy that there is some motive behind the question. It wasn't a request to send pics of your dog looking at you naked. Like I said, there are plenty of more interesting questions that could have been used, but to think that there is some bad intent to post the question is truly ridiculous. I know there is some sort of bad blood between some people and Michael, but there are other things to complain about other than this question. Implying that he has an alterior motive is disrespectful. For those who think he has been disrespectful in the past should not stoop to this level. As for it being a moral issue: I'm not sure how this fits into morals. I think people need to really focus on the one simple fact of this question: it is not relative to what we are here to talk about and it doesn't mean anything to overall corgi care or love of our dogs. I think the simple solution would be to not put any poll question up on the main page. Maybe put it somewhere where you have to physically click on a link to view it.

[Chip's Mom]

Lady's Daddy - NO I don't think Michael cares and I am not stooping to any level. There is no "bad blood" between Michael and me, we just differ on opinions every once in awhile but we also agree on many things. I do think it is a stupid question that does not belong on the homepage. Your solution is a good idea. However, having said that, I will again say that new people just coming onto the forum and do not know anyone here may come up with the wrong impression of this forum when they see that question on the homepage. As far as it not being relative to what we are here to talk about, we talk about lots of things that are not relevant to corgis. Morals - everyone has a different set and if it isn't in your set, then you simply wouldn't understand. Refer back to your original reply to this question - you may have thought that was funny but some people don't. Believe it or not but some women still feel it is inappropriate to talk about some topics in mixed company.

[Lady's Daddy]

My original post was supposed to be funny. It really is unreal to have people not only be offended by this question, but to take exception to what I wrote too? Wow! How do you guys get through life? I didn't even write what I thought people would be shocked to know what I let my corgi see. I should have written down exactly what I do in front of my corgi. So then you could really have a hissy fit. I don't think 1 thing in this entire set of posts about this question is either innapropriate or appaling. I guess you guys do have a different set of morals than others. I guess morals in the 21st century are quite different from the 20th. So keep protesting these innocent silly polls if it makes you feel better.

[Lady's Daddy]

Furthermore, the question is "Do you worry about your corgi seeing you nude?" which I take as "Do you purposely avoid/or keep your corgi from seeing you nude?" not "Do you you walk around your house naked so your dog can see you?" I guess you can interpret the question how you want, but maybe take a little time from being so upset and irrational and read the question.

Lady's Daddy - you cant surely be the only other rational person responding on this thread. Give it a miss - there are better things in life to occupy your mind and time, though it is interesting to have someone else experience the kind of frustrations that are dealt to me on occasions. It is lucky it is all in good fun, fun, fun .............

[corgimom]

My word, time to move on, I would say.

[Lady's Daddy]

I am done with this as well, but I do find it extremely interesting how some people find such things so offensive. I'm not so much frustrated as I am amazed at how people's minds work.

I did a dbl on the poll, for a moment I thought it was asking if I mind seeing my Corgi naked. LOL. Well a funny question for a poll but I guess it is up to individuals here to decide.

There are quite a few people in the world who want to have all domestic and farm land animals clothed - thankfully not enough people to influence the majority. Imagine, my Taylor having to wear pants and the 25 million or so sheep and the 5 million or so milking cows in New Zealand all dressed up in their Sunday or night clubbing best.
