Meh, I don't see anything big there.

They're suing people. It's pretty big.

Aside from the crappy contract, they only pay their models $300 for a set (last I checked). I know figure models that make that much in 2 hours. Plus you only get paid if the set gets published. In the meantime they can sit back on the content and not do a thing, and you won't get a dime. They also sell content to other sites, and you won't get anything beyond the original $300. Besides, $300 wouldn't cover the cost of shooting with a decent photographer, especially not with a demand for full rights (I sure as hell wouldn't).

I was expected some parody thread of the NSFW foot thread.

I was fooled good. I like being fooled with nice pics of attractive female women.

I don't know if you read the site but SG models aren't exactly the types to get jobs as figure models. Most of them seem pretty happy from their blog posts, etc.

Of course they're happy. They don't know any better.
