Lines: 11 Re : ad for computer stuff with bathing suit clad female model. As a reverse side to this, see Infoworld, October 29, 1984, p. 29. There they show a (censored version of an) ad for Commodore Computers that appeared in the German version of Cosmopolitan magazine. There is a reclining nude male, and the text is apparently a word play on the fact that the german word for computer takes the masculine gender (at least according to the September Advertising Age, which is where Infoworld got it). The translation is something like, "He's cheap, easy to handle. He will give you more time to be weak." Any responses? Nemo
