Why do these people always look ridiculously stupid? I mean, they seem to have such a great time staring at the screen, all together, having fun. "Oh wow, that is what the internet looks like… !?!? Cool, see, you can even see the earth from above and order pizza online!!!" Damn I hate those media images…



And this one is a bad expample, there are far worse out there…

They look stupid because they're models looking at nothing in particular on a (probably turned off) screen. And they look stupid because the art director is too clueless to even paste a chunk of tape on the dead screen for them to all focus on so they wouldn't all be looking at nothing. And they look stupid because between the art director and the photographer there isn't enough "director" power to out direct my little finger, so the models have no idea what they're supposed to do but "be happy."

But other than that I don't know.

To be honest if you had a real picture of people doing the same thing they would actually look worse.

It is interesting that this is what first came to mind for you. Why did it make you think of that?

Based on the URL, it appears that he is supposed to be working with some financial software.

what is the guy on the right behind the blonde looking at. Does that guy have really bad dandruff or something? He looks really concerned, so believable or is it his version of a zoolander Magnum?

I think he's staring at whatever the brunette on the left is pointing to...could be dandruff, maybe it's a Brain Slug.

What are they supposed to look like? If it were a real shot they'd have blank stares on their faces like the rest of us when reading the intarweb. That's no fun.

Hopefully he is looking up drywall repair and home renovations. At the very least on the bestbuy website for a new computer.

Actually, it gets to be quite distracting after a while. Happier? Not if you have signed the anti-harrasment policy.

This one chick would sit on my desktop and distract me while I was supposed to be working.
It was rough I tell you.

I hate it when there is a PC in the ad, yet it has OS X running on it, or vice-versa. What is the point of that?
