Sad alright.

Although that one promoting the "iGrill".......

Just saying like...

'sometimes, I just feel like crying...... '

And me. Not sure what this footage has to do with it though.

Damn. I need to get myself to that conference next year.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

I don't understand it. To me they are 'plastic' women and not desirable at all. Each to their own I suppose.

Bang tidy....

I think it's absolutely disgraceful. Where are the hot, scantily clad men?

I'm not buying any technology now then!

I can't access the video but tits and arse always has and always will encourage men to buy shiny things.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Whereas women will buy shiny things just because they are shiny. I know this because female friends have admitted as such (so it must be true!).

Blokes buy shiny things just because they're shiny as well. Shiny is fundamentally awesome.

I'm beginning to think / realise that I'm a strange bloke indeed. I'm visualising all the possessions in my house and can only come up with one shiny thing - an ipod. And I'm not sure you can buy them in anything but shiny. I certainly wasn't attracted to it by it's shinyness than by it's capacity to store songs. I fear I'm a bit crap at this modern day living (PS - I barely know how to use the shiny ipad. Somebody put songs on to it for me and sometimes I can actually access them all on my own!)

I think with men it's less shiny more big. Bigger Tv, bigger car, bigger sound system. You get the picture.

Fact is the iPod is NOT the best portable player on the market...  It has massive failures when compare to other players...

Yet you still bought one...

So some form of marketing has tripped you up

[t8yman]

in the tech industry, you are dealing 99% of the time with nerds. and nerds love pretty ladies. deal with it.

bike shows are the same, so are car shows.

walk around any department store, how many blokes are working on chanel/clinique etc - not very many. beauty sells, sex sells, and until someone comes up with an alternative (but equally successful) method of making their product sexy, thats what we are gonna get.

LCD Flatscreens over larger CRTs. 2-door sports cars.

By no means always.

I fully support women's rights to wear as little as they want in order to try and sell me a product

You'll find them in the kitchen and laundry section.
