> What the fuck is up with this site Custom PC Guide and their "tradition" in "every article about Samsung SSD"? my impression was that they were commenting on samsung's 'bizarrely sexist' (to use your expression) use of 'attractive women' to sell things like printers. the so-called 'booth babe' phenomenon is (was?) a recognized trend of using attractive women for marketing. generally these women were contracted through modeling, marketing or similar agencies, and typically didn't have any understanding of the products they were representing. this is frustrating both from both a 'feminist', 'consumer/purchaser', and probably a variety of other perspectives.
