Why'd they pick her to demo the device?

Tricky question. I have been wondering a loong time..
Would it be for symetry purpose?: - red color on both sides - display: screen side vs show side Last edited by roger64; 06-01-2009 at 10:01 AM. |

Oh! I would never have thought this could be the answer...never...
and what about Cool.er against Hot.her?, a sauna-like visual effect? Last edited by roger64; 06-01-2009 at 10:44 AM. Reason: typo |

I don't know about the intended target, but I'm sure the guy who took the Cool-er picture is male . He certainly knew what to focus on...

Reminds me of an Ace Hardware convention held in Dallas in the 70's - when they had the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders demonstrating the hot tubs.
Think we'll ever get past this "sex sells" gimmickry? |

*rolls eyes*
Because its a well known practice at trade shows to hire women who wear little outfits to draw more people (men) to their booths.
I would have liked a picture of the cool-er that actually showed the reader a bit better. But ahh well. Amy |
