Not safe for work: iPod Sports Illustrated Photo

by on February 16, 2007

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...
  • Totally
    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.
  • meanguy
    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.
  • 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.
  • Dr. Internet
    Is there any particular reason you use the term "linkbait" ONLY with Apple-related stories?
  • 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.
  • james
    I disagree w/ poster number 1.


    They should have used an iPod shuffle.
  • Peter
    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.
  • Peter
    Too see the difference, please peruse...

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