Are we getting the same MacUser? The last four (4) issues (May 1990 through August 1990) of MacUser included only two (2) female images on the cover. Neither of them were sexual or provocative in my opinion. For the record, the May 1990 issue has a woman standing behind three nineteen inch monitors with her hands on her hips. Her face, shoulders and elbows are showing. Sexually stimulating? No. The cover of the July 1990 issue features a monitor with [the lower part of] a face licking an "e-mail" stamp. Provocative? Not in my book. >I even felt like posting about it but never got around to doing so. You can rest easy now; your opinion has been heard worldwide. >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 attention >span) during the 4 or so hours of TV that I watch each week. Ummm.. excuse me, but how else do you use a stamp if you don't lick it? >MacUser is a good mag and does not need to resort to this type of crap.
