Sony e-Book Reader Not Sexier Than a Librarian

from the I'm-too-sexy-for-my-shelves,-too-sexy... dept.

...so says this poster over at Live Journal. Here's a flickr page with a print of the Sony DRM Reader ad that claims it's 'sexier than a librarian', and here's another photo of the same ad campaign, on a set of steps.

On his blog, Library Stuff, Steven M. Cohen suggests a possible boycott of the reader. Agree? Disagree? and Do we care?

New rule: next person that gets a burr under their saddle about the "image of librarians" is getting an image of my thumb in their eye. [ Reply to This ]
