This ad caught my eye because it's just so strange. The first one, which was similar, involved the same women with this thing by a fireplace. I'll try to find that one. I've had nightmares about this ad. It looks like something straight out of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Is that supposed to be an armpit with legs? Uggh...And the ad is actually darker than this. I had to lighten it up in PS to make it viewable.

Your thoughts? :)

Is it an armpit?? It looks like the trunk of a man's body with two very odd shaped feet. Weird! I spent so much time trying to figure out what the heck that thing was, I forgot what the ad was for...LOL!

Some kinda modern-day Dali wannabe sorta thing? lol What an odd ad.. :D I can't say it holds any appeal to me..but it certainly made me spend time looking at it trying to figure it out! I bet that's the whole point too, to get people to stop and look/read/scratch their heads -- sure worked for me!

That's what I thought at first too, lol! And that no armpits (or arms) were better than stinky & sweaty ones..? :D

I'm having a hard time convincing myself that this is not amputee dwarf porn :)

Yeah, I'm starting to notice that Smugmug does maintenance quite often. But don't worry, it usually only happens during the wee hours of the morning. They'll be back online shortly.

Wee hours of the morning .... to whom? :) It's no problem I'll check back later.

So WTH are you doing up at this wee hour of the morning (where you are) ? Oh yeah, night shift reading Penthouse ..... :p

Ahem...night shift working for Penthouse. I wish they would leave reading materials around. Actually, one of the largest disclaimers when I started working here was about the porn. Like 5 people had to verify that I was ok looking at nakedness all day. I obviously have no problem with that ;)

But lo and behold, my actual job is quite boring and involves very little porn or nakedness. Makes me wonder why 5 people went thru all that trouble. But, it does give me some serious 'choppin time so i can't complain.

As for using non-company software programmes I've NEVER had the right to do that for security reasons .... not that it's stopped me when I wanted to :)

The Freedoms you have from your Bill of Rights and the much lower cost of online access make the difference between us.
