see me be all politically correct!if you check out the questions at the bottom you'll see my input. although I note it's now monday and they're using the same image. yes it's just a woman in a bra but it kinda pissed me off. I like women in their bras as much as the next person who likes women in their bras but I really don't see why it's

It's a fair point. I mean it's not even a "bra size" monitor.

it's their own brand one too apparently so they should have made the ad themselves.

Just weird. I mean did the ad guy who got the contract go "a monitor advert you say? Quick, fetch me a large breasted model and a brazil flag (their other image for the monitor).

Nice tits and a brazilian!

(because nobody else said it!)

go stand in the corner paul!

they usually have pretty ladies on (or football) but this is the first time they've specifically stooped to underwear...

[sarah_orange]

exactly!

[attack_monkey]

And if they had unicorns on, would you be swayed then?

THIS!!!

Agree completely.

I wonder if this kind of thing actually works? I'm male, and it offends me both for the "women aren't interested in technology" *and* the "boobies will sell anything" attitude.

Though TBH these sort of ads even piss off my "likes to look at pretty ladies" side - they always assume every guy wants to look at women mostly nude. What about those of us dodgy old lechers who prefer to look at fully clothed women? :-)

Having read the thread here, perhaps you should make another post, "Do you have permission to use that copyright image of Gemma Atkinson, as I've just emailed this page to her agent?"

Btw, looking at the "Monitors" page off the main menu, all the monitors either have muscle cars or women in bikinis. And one where they spectacularly fail to grasp the concept of "wetlook". So they are presumably only interested in selling gear to 17 year old boy racers of the kind who stick ridiculous plastic body-kits on their 900cc 7th hand Corsas and then get left behind at the lights by 79 year old grannies on mobility scooters. That's an interesting take on "inclusive marketing"!
