Well at least they are honest

It is so rare nowadays that there is truth in advertising. One of the latest Microsoft media flops has been the invention of the personal media player device. Well, I was browsing around earlier tonight and I found the following screenshot on the iRiver web site: Now please. Please. Even if you don't have high hopes for the kind of clientele that your product will attract, please do not put Jenna Jameson on it. There are plenty of attractive models that could have done this, did you really have to pick the most famous porn star in the world to be the poster girl for your device? What obvious message are you sending by featuring her? By the way, I take full credit for finding this bit, I was actually shopping for an mp3 recorder and stumbled upon this one. You know you got mad perv skills when you can pick off Jenna Jameson in a 50×50 pixel cut. You can't get Jenna Jameson past me!

Hey, thats what I thought too before I read your blog “Hey, thats Jenna!”

Its nice to be among friends.

Yes, there is some truth in advertising. (There’s even a law on it.)

Let’s think of why they’d put the most famous porn star on it? Duh, it’s their target market. There’s marketing it to you, Vlad. Or, at least to young males mainly between 18-35 who recognize Jenna and maybe didn’t even think about what a portable media device would be good for. Now, they can use it to watch porn anywhere.

Now, Vlad, you probably already thought about that and have some porn already loaded into your portable media device (if you have one). But to others, this opens up new possibilities. Hmm…I can do anything with this…anywhere.

Jen,

I have, I do, and oh you know about it! I even have your sweet voice on it too.

How’s your cell phone doing?
