October 18, 2001 ~ My X10 Cam Caught a Supermodel Trespassing!

Is it just me, or are those obnoxious little X10 wireless camera pop-up advertisements just a little too... well, obnoxious?

It's not just the fact that they are everywhere, or that I hate pop-ups to begin with, or that they use flashy colors and blinking text.

No, what bother's me is that they use images which have absolutely nothing to do with their cameras.

Oh, pardon me. Perhaps they do.

Take this ad, for instance. It displays two video clips. The first is of someone's front porch. Perfectly logical, perhaps you would want to use your X10 cam to see who is at the door before you open it, or to record who comes to your door while you are gone.

The second clip also is obviously something one would buy a wireless camera for. You see, everybody has a gorgeous supermodel reclining in nothing but a nighty on their hardwood living room floor.

Blonde, blue eyed, tan, extremely thin and lean, laying back on her elbows in a submissive posture with her legs slightly parted and inviting, looking straight at that wireless camera, smiling. She is wearing a thin, tight, clingy nighty, which makes it very easy to tell that she is not wearing a bra and it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that she's probably not wearing any panties. Barefoot. Oh, and broad daylight is reflecting from the window, because, you know, she's in her nighty, and everybody wears a nighty in broad daylight. And a hardwood floor is so comfortable to lounge seductively on in such an outfit.

Oh please.

journal land:

"I'd spent the past two days studying, giving up on ingesting the psychobabble and the technical jargon, and instead creating a map in my mind of where all if this information was located, so that when, say, question ten asked about Murray and whether he prefered a nomothetic approach, my brain fired images of pages, and I remembered his mention under the picture of a woman on a bicycle. I scribbled in the dots, I hastily collected my papers and thrust them at the professor, who held them up to the light with an answer key and boggled. I cackled maniacally on my way out the door, while pages flipped in harmony behind me... I may consider taking a stress management course next semester."
