I even felt like posting about it but never got around to doing so. I think that i get enough of that type of advertizing ( using sex and sexually suggestive (licking the stamp) images to promote sales and increase attentionspan) during the 4 or so hours of TV that i watch each week. MacUser is a good mag and does not need to resort to this type of crap. Also, it is ludicrous(sp?) to have these kinds of images associated with Computers and Macs in specific.
