Meet Silicon Valley's very own fight club (NSFW)

Why do men in Silicon Valley join Apple engineer Gints Klimanis's fight club? In this clip, Limanis tells ESPN:
Silicon Valley is just a facade, constructed to just allow us to work together. But underneath, as an individual you have the caveman nature.
Jeremy Schaap's full report — perhaps unwise to view in your sanitized cubicles — is embedded below. It exposes a group which is not quite the "apocalyptic death cult" some of our readers have been hoping for lately, but it's close enough to satiate your blood lust for now. More »

Facebook NSFW! Julia Allison and other pics from Randi Zuckerberg's Vegas bachelorette

Can you imagine a photo op that Julia Allison wouldn't attend? What happens in Vegas goes instantly to Valleywag, Allison knows, and so she flew to Las Vegas to attend Randi Zuckerberg's bachelorette party. Zuckerberg, whose wig-and-sunglasses disguise did not deter the Web's paparazzi, is a budding Web video star, Facebook's marketing director, and, unlike younger brother Mark, an actual Harvard graduate. In what's surely a first, Allison, the tech-obsessed TV personality, managed not to hog the camera; she's in only one of the shots. Facebook's Meagan Marks also appears sporting what looks like a freshly acquired head wound. A slip and fall on the dance floor? Our informants are investigating. In the meantime, enjoy the evidence of Zuckerberg's bacchanal. A warning: If plastic sex toys offend your coworkers, one photo may be unsuitable for office computers. More »

Screenshots of Facebook's five most ridiculous ads (NSFW)

New Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg did not get the job because she has any grand vision for the company. The self-described "tough-love leader" is at Facebook to clean things up. She can start with Facebook's messy ads. Sometimes they're laughably mistargeted; at other times, they're abundantly unsafe for the office; and on occasion, they actually cause Facebook to lose clients. The five most inappropriate Facebook ads our tipsters have told us about, below. More »

Yahoo Video classifies porn as "Health and Beauty"

Yahoo's recently launched video site is having a difficult time catching up to Google's YouTube. It did find one way to get pageviews though: porn. As of this writing, Yahoo has a pair of hardcore porn movies hosted in the Yahoo Video Health & Beauty section. Click on to see some mostly-safe-for-work screenshots and links to the not-safe-for-work videos in question. More »

NSFW takes a blow

Calling for an end to "NSFW", the "Pink Ghetto Blaster" panelists at SXSW questioned why all blogging about sex is classified as "inappropriate" when playing a Flash game — or reading Valleywag during billable hours — isn't "safe for work," either. "It's wrong when showing an interest in human sexuality can cost you a job," says panelist Elizabeth Wood. We can't disagree — think how messy it gets around the office when sex is your job?

Gene Simmons sex tape leaked on Web (NSFW)

"Watch the sex tape Gene doesn't want you to see," GenesSecret.com promises. The website purportedly hosts a NSFW sex tape of Kiss frontman Gene Simmons. Leave aside the question of whether anyone wants to see Simmons in flagrante. Does Simmons himself really object to the site? Nothing revives the Q factor of an aging rocker like a bit of scandal. Since he's no longer recording, just touring, he doesn't have a skittish label to appease. And thanks to the Internet, he doesn't have to rely on the tabloids to get his name out. Welcome to the age of DIY career makeovers. Is it really Simmons? Judge for yourself from these excerpts in which his face is most visible: More »

Mashable's female readers like to get naked

Mashable founder Pete Cashmore is "hot," StyleDiary's Patricia Handschiegel told me the other night at dinner. Overhearing us, another chimed in. "Oh yes, he's hot," she said. Keep your pants on, girls! Literally. Cashmore doesn't have to worry about Handschiegel stripping — she's a lady — but a screenshot of "recent visitors" who have built profiles on the site indicates some of Cashmore's readers aren't. After the jump, see their profile pages. A warning: Not safe for work. More »

Facebook porn ads getting more graphic yet

The first time we noted Facebook's porn problem, a commenter responded, "That isn't actually full frontal nudity, though." Well, 0x6772, whoever you are, your wish is Facebook's dirty command. Here's the latest pornographic ad Facebook failed to keep off its servers. More »

Yahoo suggests NSFW video

A tipster sent us this interesting screenshot. When you search for the word "link" on Yahoo, the search engine helpfully suggests a few "related" links. For those who don't know, "2 girls 1 cup" is an outrageous, disgusting, horrendous Not Safe For Work TM video that has been making its way around the Internet the past few months. It is so bad, we won't link to it, but here is a video of someone watching "2 girls 1 cup" for the first time.

Fark applies for "Not Safe For Work" trademark

Fark.com LLC, Drew Curtis' company which operates the zany headlines site, has applied for a trademark on "not safe for work" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Given how long "NSFW" has been around, we suspect it might be difficult getting the mark granted, never mind how Fark founder Drew Curtis proposes to enforce it. We suspect it might be part of a prank, but who knows? Only Drew. Maybe if we send him a beer, he'll spill the beans.

Photo site shares NSFW images

I've always wondered what kind of people use Zooomr, the also-ran photo-sharing site run by underaged and reportedly credit-deprived developer Kris Tate. Apparently, people who feel they've got something to share with the rest of the world. Something very personal, and something they're attached to. Intimately. Recent visitors to the site's "Discover" page were greeted by a collage of images that included some unpleasant and definitely not safe for work contributions. If you're easily shocked, move along now. But if you're curious to see what Tate apparently considers acceptable on his "No Limits Photo Sharing" site, click through to the jump. More »

Genitals, guns, and merchandise in Second Life

After a couple previous visits into Second Life, I decided to give it one more try. Several people sent in suggestions for places to visit, and I hit as many as I could stand while accomplishing a few other objectives. This time, it's all about penises, nudity, sex, guns, politics, virtual artistry, and so forth. These are, after all, the specialties of Second Life. Note that both the subject matter and visual material that follow are in no way safe for work. The report and a few choice pics are after the jump, and there's also a full gallery. Consider yourself warned. More »

Sex shopping in Second Life

As promised earlier, a first-timer's experience when sex shopping in Second Life warrants its own post. I'll tell you right up front that my immaturity levels do not speak well of me as a sex correspondent. Chris Peterson's Second Life Safari at Something Awful puts quite a bit more thought and action into the topic. That said, with even the Dutch getting lathered up about virtual child porn (and not in a good way), Second Life's burgeoning sex industry is almost politely underplayed when everything else about the service is praised to the skies. So let's go penis shopping, shall we? NSFW, if you haven't guessed. More »
