We're talking about the cover of the latest IEEE publications catalogue
here, I assume.  I've handed people it, saying, "There's an upside-down
nude female figure on the cover," and they (once cued in this way) spot
it quickly. And I'll bet it is registered subconsciously even if it takes
"ten minutes to find it."  

As to the rest of the quoted posting, I must assume the author forgot
to :-), because I find the cover inexcusable -- but I'm saving
my flames for my letter to the IEEE.
