SCARY!!! :S

She's just finished spaghetti and the strain has caused her iris to go purple

intheradiator - I get the feeling you've half read the 'idiots guide to psychology'

you can't use men to sell things. women are objects; men are consumers; it'd be a weird freaky mismatch if there was some bald dude in a flannel shirt on your desktop. but when i design a computer that is totally what it will have.

perhaps more like dauntingly cosplay and Elfstones of Shannara, perhaps.

I think she's whistling 'Colonel Bogey'.

it's only heterosexual if you're a dude. funny mouth shape, though. blow-up doll?

Definitely belongs on black velvet...

I hope its not like maya. i spent last semester at uni battling with autodesk maya...

Why would this picture be off-putting for female customers? I'm happy to get on my feminist soapbox willy-nilly and at the slightest provocation these days (ranting is excellent when procrastinating) but am hard pressed to find this picture offensive. I t

It's sexy. Perhaps that's the image they were after.

Christ, can see what you mean by 'dauntingly heterosexual'. Do they not want female customers?

Oh, I agree that her features are oversexualised, it was just that the image was introduced as 'dauntingly heterosexual' which I don't think is necessarily the case - I believe a homosexual female has commented that she finds the image pleasant enough :)

Doesn't Apple want any female costumers? *coughsexismcough*

It's like walking into an 'Athena' shop back in the 90's

hey i know her ... she's republican. except the mole. bill's an animal!
