Not safe for work: iPod Sports Illustrated Photo

More linkbait, this time from Sports Illustrated, but whoa, what linkbait. I wonder what the iPod team thinks of its product being used as clothing?

    From a purely artistic point of view, I think an iPod nano would have been a better choice…

  2. Totally Says:

    I totally agree with number 1. Also that Microsoft’s marketing so TOTALLY sucks…why can’t they get this sort of product placement for Zune.

  3. meanguy Says:

    no, Zune did this first. but in typical Microsoft fashion, they did it with a dude. and a brown Zune. wasn’t nearly as effective.

  4. Michael Markman Says:

    The Shuffle is marketed as a clothing accessory with the tag line “Put some music on.” The SI shot should have used a Shuffle to be true to the brand. And to have an even less work-safe photo.

    [...] gives new meaning to the term “plug and play.” Hat tip to Robert Scoble and thank you to Marisa [...]

  6. Dr. Internet Says:

    Is there any particular reason you use the term “linkbait” ONLY with Apple-related stories?

  7. Robert Scoble Says:

    Dr. Internet: you should do your homework and look at what I used the term with yesterday. But don’t let the facts stand in the way of telling an interesting story.

    I disagree w/ poster number 1.

    They should have used an iPod shuffle.

  9. Peter Says:

    Typical photo done in bad taste. Why are so many people infatuated with blondes? I think blondes look cheap 99% of the time.

    They should have used a latina model. Beautiful latin women are always better looking than white, trashy blondes.

    Penelope Cruz would have made the photo 100% better. I also think they showed too much flesh. It would have been much more elegant had they left more to the imagination.

    Too see the difference, please peruse…

    This is work safe, to be sure. I personally don’t like women being demeaned in suggestive poses.
