The funny thing is, if you thumb through MacWarehouse's catalog, Kerry
and Donna (featured in MacWorld/MacUser/etc ads) are the cutest girls
there.  Look at Debbie.  She looks like an ex-football player with a
sex change.

The MacWarehouse ads are nothing compared to one ad which said "Hi,
I'm Maria.  Call me."  The girl had a sultry look in her eye and had a
pen at the tip of her mouth (BJ BJ!).  She was dressed in skimpy
attire.  Look in the back of a Hustler or even a National Lampoon.
Same type of girl, different type of service.
