'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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Do tits and bums make men buy shiny things ? I have never bought anything because a bint has paraded her norks at me.

Yea, I would like to think that it has no bearing on my consumer decisions either. There is always the subliminal effect of advertising though.

there's an amusing story in this week's Private Eye, about how the head of the Advertising Association (or something like that, a trade body for advertisers) told parliament that there's no need to ban ads for junk food targetted at kids because they don't have any effect.

Which rather begs the question why companys spends billions targetting ads at kids.

So advertisers obviously think that advertising is so good that they can advertise a load of bollocks at MPs and the MPs will buy it despite everything about it being contrary to the very obvious facts - THAT'S how effective advertising is in reality.

But why!? What's so bad about a beautiful pair of breasts and an arse like a peach.

You're supposed to enjoy it?

[eFestivals]

I thinks ads in general are probably wasted on kids

the billions spent advertising to kids proves different beyond all doubt.

It's not like the money gets spent on advertising without anyone looking to see what effect it has.
