so google is a brunette and firefox is a blonde?

by violet blue on July 6, 2008

The Firefox blonde accompanies the article Report Looks At Vulnerable Web Browsers. The Google brunette is the lede photo for Google Adds Link To Privacy Policy. What are they trying to tell us?

I can totally see Google as a topheavy brunette, sure. But I just don’t feel in my heart of hearts (and other parts) that Firefox is a blonde. Hello, Firefox is definitely a redhead. Regardless, according to the mystifying stock photos that I just happened to notice accompany tech articles on EON (E Ontario Now: Keeping Ontario Connected) — both tech giants have huge knockers. That makes sense. But then, I thought I had the methodology down until I saw E Ontario use this for Apple Reduces Price Of MacBook Air:

I think that I agree with you about Firefox….just doesn’t strike me as blonde. I also thought redhead – I mean after all – Fire = red and Fox = red….Plus – redheads rock!

I’d do Google, Firefox and Apple… Heck yeah…

Even if it is an ad-riddled quasi-blog, I’m kind of ashamed to be from Ontario right now. I consider myself to be sex-positive and a feminist, so I have to say: What the fuck do these women have to do with the stories? It looks like a 12-year-old boy had too much fun in Photoshop.

Sure, Firefox = redhead easy.

But I always thought Apple would have to be represented by an anime girl.

Apple is always the sexiest of technologies.

Sure, Firefox should definitely get the redhead treatment – or at least henna!

For the Apple Air, I have to remark, WTF? If I were to envision Apple as a female, I’d have to say that I’d first think of a mature, attractive executive-type woman in a turtleneck. She’s been around for a while, had her heart broken a few times, but still is on top of everything. She knows what she wants, is comfortable with her body, and will make your bedroom ROCK! And the next day, she’ll get right back to work… though not without a few secret smiles.
