I was Bombarded with Pornography at American Apparel

I'm the first to admit that I like American Apparel. I'm a big fan of the company's business practices, and I own several of the brand's most popular styles. However, I most certainly don't appreciate their website's use of full-frontal nudity with absolutely no warning.

I opened americanapparel.com earlier today in anticipation of the brand's newest leather clutches. As I clicked the accessories tab, I was bombarded by a photograph of towels displaying images of naked men, one of whom had his penis fully exposed.

Yes, I'm well-aware of the fact that American Apparel is known for having provocative advertising strategies. Maybe I should have known better, but I think that page should have had a warning or something. What if I had been at school? At work? In front of a child?

Am I being reasonable, or just prudish? Readers, what do you think?
