I don't like being lied to.
What's going on in my mind, within two seconds of the page load, is that you've used a stock image on your front page, and you've generated "These people both read Hacker News." using my HTTP referrer. So in fact these two people don't read Hacker News.
I get the cleverness of the page. But cute girls in short shorts who have nothing to do with the product have become a sort of turn-off. I feel like a trout in an over-fished lake - lures are boring.
Show me two users who actually do read Hacker News, and you've got me on the front page.
