@sobotka Why uberdorkdom? There’s a mostly clothed women – the text on the image is clearly not intended to be taken seriously, though.
-
Here's the proof: !Linux _is_ #sexy! ;) - http://bit.ly/9sZrUM (Slightly !NSFW.)
-
@sobotka why? Sex is completely natural, and I don’t see a reason to keep people from mixing Linux with erotic stuff.

@sobotka And why do you see it as appalling?
-
@sobotka A bit prude, are we? ;)
-
@sobotka Just saying. You'll break your neck once you eventually and inevitably fall...
-
@fabsh The picture isn't so bad, it's the attitude coming out in the thread ("linux erotica"?) that worries me. :(
-
@rxp Why? You think any other subset of computer users or, hell, the general public is different? Really???
-
@rxp It's not offensive, it's just stupid and juvenile. 12 year olds would be all like, "I JUST PWNED YOU!!!!!!!11"
-
@fabsh There's a huge difference between enjoying erotica and posting sexy pix to a group with five thousand users
-
@sobotka you mean “only linux makes cotton sexy”? That’s what I was referring to when I said ‘clearly not intended to be taken seriously’
-
@rxp Basically it's the same mindset that Motorola is counting on in those Droid commercials. BITCHEN ROBOT SAYS PHONE IS TEH AWESOME.
-
@frankenspock Oh, yeah, but that's totally different. Everybody agrees that robots are t3 aw3s0m3
-
@fabsh No, creating things that aren't funny and passing them off as humor is the thing that will get you painted as not having any humor.
-
@fabsh The same principle applies to Carrot Top.
-
@thisfred i'm now sorry i went to View Context and saw the image. ugh!
-
@sobotka Why manipulation? That’s something I don’t see. Compared to what I see on big poster walls in the streets every day it’s tame.
-
@frankenspock Whatever. I say relax a bit. People who are offended by stuff like this are offended by onions, probably...
-
@sunny256 that's not linux being sexy. that's a woman being sexy and being *used* as a stupid marketing ploy

@fabsh Again, I'm only offended by the utter lameness of it.
-
@frankenspock Well, that is a point. We need hotter chicks, obviously... ;)
-
@rxp Yeah? Get a life... Jeez...
