What thumbnails in freestuff for those pieces of equipment show anything except those devices? The A frame and the x-cross both had figures in the thumbs. Personally, I have no issue with it myself (one man's sense of bondage as fun is another man's sense of "huh?"), but it does violate the TOS. The fact that none of the various sword props fail to show a decapitated (semi- or otherwise) Posette (or Vicky, for that matter) just says that swords et al around here are simply props for making their various warrior princesses look hot: you won't find them being plunged into bodies just to "prove" their existence. But putting a Posette or a Vicky in an A-frame? Sorry, but that's a different story, and let's not pretend otherwise. The thumbs aren't showing anything but a naked broad (and always a naked broad, which is sorta interesting unto itself, you have to admit) in a bondage cross, which makes any arguments about "oh, well, that's how it's been done throughout time" kinda specious, wouldn't you say? :)
