Don't they know that girls can be geeks too?!

Have you ever noticed that tons of web pages have guy-oriented ads?  They don't think about girls staring at pictures of other girls in their panties while they download torrents and stuff.  Just thought I'd type something Smiley

The fact is a lot more guys are "nerds" than girls are.  You do see more and more female nerds these days, but the majority of them still scorn it.

And obviously no advertising agency is going to spend money placing an add that only 2% of their demographic is going to see.

Who knows?  Maybe I'll learn to love the nekkid ladies.

Then again, I really can't forsee that happening...

Actually, I think Men's Health is a more interesting read.  Half of Cosmo is ads, and the other half is articles about how to have better sex.

because cosmo, for all the crappy ads, has a shirtless guys section.
