    So all the illustrations are male on the welcome page. Oh, no, we don't feel excluded, don't mind us, that's quite all right, fellas. Don't give it a thought.

    Very well then, we won't. 15 generations of discrimination- what's a few more years(or a title page)? Besides- they could be little transgenic cartoon characters for all we know rolleyes.gif. Keep the funny little things I say!

    Oh, certainly keep the funny little things - i wouldn't want them to go, they're sweeties. Just pointing out that they were all, without exception, male sweeties.

    that because when these boards were designed and developed a few years ago, none of us new what a gurl was.
    how about we put really sexy page 3 models up instead?
    but instead of stupid suggestions from me, tell us, what do YOU think should be done. heres youre chance to get famous and change the way boards.ie looks smile.gif

    Talking about invisible women. But I wouldn't expect u to understand - after all, you can't see them wink.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,544 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    I disagree Bard, this fellah has a highly suspicious bulge under his arm...i submit that those evil male domineering supressers that run the boards are slipping in females without anyone being informed...
    Proof!!!!!!

    Nice try. (S)he's a little lacking in the hair department, however.

    Are you suggesting only men go bald? Sheesh- talk about sexist views in a post- and look what you dig up rolleyes.gif

    I'd go with Bard's suggestion with one slight alteration- Aki from the FF movie is far more appealing than "Lumpy Lara" any day. Besides, her name looks familiar tongue.gif

    maybe shes a dyke?

    Seriously though, when boards started we thought about a mascot. Something that could also act as a link (so it had to have space for some writting).

    We based them on the sandwich board guys on Henry street. Ever seen a *female* one of them?

    We're thinking of redoing the front page anyway but I think the boardmen are still going to be with us.

    We dont have any black ones either but I notice that doesnt concern you smile.gif
