Which won't count for jack when it comes to the picture on the Soyies box. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
Well, the elf part will, but with the Orxploitation bit, Trolls and Orks are sexier now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Pfft! Whatever man, everyone knows that every warm blooded meta wants to pork is an Japanese, Catholic schoolgirl, elf...
Lesbian. Jeez... Sometimes CanRay. It's like you just don't have the touch for this marketing thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I worked IT.
I've had to FIX marketings screwups too many times... Anyhow, lesbian elves don't have the pull they used to. I mean, Same-Sex Marriage has been legal in the UCAS since its inception. One of the holdovers of the Canadian Laws that was accepted. |

Yeah I guess you're right. I just don't know if the marketplace is ready to embrace Suicide Ork Girls. I mean, I'm all for it... but is the UCAS ready for it?
Plus we have to look at the worldwide demographics. Elves play well with countries, even those that are normally pretty shitty when it comes to accepting metas. Not everyone has enlightened same sex rules so lesbians are still dirty and therefore imminently marketable. I guess we'll just have to find something else that's taboo and makes people uncomfortable... OOoo! Technomancers! Get me a line to that fixer we work with... Money bags or whatever the fuck his name is. I want some hot TM on AI action for our next spread. Omae, this is gonna make us rich!!! I can feel it! |

Especially if we can snag some simsense feeds from the interaction.... Never any harm from some covert BTL advertising right?

So why do cheerleaders only get the draw? What about other female atheletes? Why aren't they objectified? Beach volley ball , swimmers, gymnasts and ski'ers all wear revealing or shape showing outfits. (The less said about the orks palying volleyball and softball the batter.)
With Karma paying off, hocus' daughter will be a cheerleader drawing in all the boys who are like her daddy. QUOTE (Snow_Fox @ May 14 2008, 07:38 PM)  and I'm sure there will be bioware to make them all disgustingly perky. Kicks SF in the shins. Some of us are just naturally happy people instead of bitter twisted caffine addicts.
For those who don't know, DLN is one of those women like Rachel Ray and Felicity Kendal, who seem preternaturally perky. I've asked her husband to check for a caffine drip into her veins but he claims there's none. |

Which brings us to VR...could these games count as sport for technomancers? You could have players from anywhere be on the same team, making a true global league.

Some people still have a 1950s "Animal House" mindset. Even when they were born in 1970. Which makes me wonder why women's athletic events traditionally have such poor attendance. They combine the hetero male's two favorite things: boobs and sports. Fellas, you want to get your rocks off? Hit a women's tennis tournament in the summer. Or go the ballet. Skin-tight outfits. Jumping around. Awesome bodies. Hooray for culture! |

my daughter a cheerleader? me thinks no. Of course she is preciously beautiful, but since she has alot of her mother in her I don't think she'd be interested in that. She is gonna be a doctor or nuclear physicist, and quite rich, so she'll take care of me in my old age.
ANYWHO ya'll suggesting cheerleaders take part in some sort of contact sport? hmmm intriguing... |

Before anyone gets any crazy objectification fantasies, remember: we've been talking about these cheerleaders getting wired reflexes or MBW, and possibly muscle implants. They'll be able to kick all of our asses. If any of us nerds were able to actually talk to a girl, and we used Edge or something to work something out with a 2070 cheerleader, something tells me we'd be the ones wearing skimpy clothing and debasing ourselves in the bedroom for the pleasure of someone who didn't respect us.
