Instead of ranting, maybe one of us should take the shot, keep what we
like, and Photoshop a new picture. Or just start over again, keep the
words and the pictures of their products, and make a new ad for them.
That would be nice of us.

That must be a syndicated photograph, because I'm 99% sure it was used
in an advert over here (UK) for (if memory serves) banking services.
Surely no two unicyclists would have trousers like that?

As enthusiasts, we must beware of taking such images of our sport too
personally. If you were a Morris dancer, you would know why. :0(

I've seen that picture before too. It was on a poster advertising a
seminar given by a consulting company (Accenture i think, but I'm not
sure). The text with the picture said something about standing out and
thinking unconvensionally in order to reach your goals.
It looked to be a POS uni (I think I could make out lollypop bearings on
the poster) and it is utterly useless if his goal is much beyond the
tree in the background, so naturally I ignored the seminar.
The poster might still be around on campus, I'll see if I can get one.

Yup, eight miles. Hard to believe, isn't it?

And on my puny uni, too. Just think what I could do on a Coker!

just after the howard stern movie 'private parts' came out, there was
areview in the newspaper
they used a screen shot of the blond stripper sitting (nude) in the
studio with him

'neumanns!' (www.neumannusa.com) '

I don't think its a hat. I think the rider is wearing a hodie with the
hood down and has brown air. The angle their head is at is such that not
much head is visible above the roll of hood.

I've seen the pic before, In fact It was on my
bedroom wall for a while last year when the Independant newspaper used it
for the cover of a student supplement. I don't know who it is
unfortunatly, looks abit like Alex Howard, but i don't think it is him.
