While we're on the subject of MacWarehouse, let me ask those who responded that they didn't think the Kerry thing was an obvious sexist ploy: what do you think about the Doublemint gum commercials? C'mon, gorgeous female twins coyly teasing Biff and Todd with a dropped hanky and a double wink of the eye, with the jingle "A double pleasure's waitin' for you"? "Double fresh, double smooth...double delicious to chew"? Advertising people don't do things without specific, usually researched reasons. Those twins are gorgeous and teasing for a good reason--because it gets Joe Public to pay attention. In our society, even the women wouldn't respond as well to the same ad if it used, say, twins that looked like Mary Gross or Jane Curtin. Kerry is there for a reason. I dare MacWarehouse to admit their ploy and start shuffling their customer service reps' pictures in their magazine ads. --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
