Re: Huh?

I'm trying, I really am....

Listen, I'm not trying to be combative or argumentative, but how many times have you seen the front page of BBR and the associate pics Karl posts with them? Heck, You've been a member here longer than I have.

Often, when 2 broadband providers are going head to head, the accompanying shot is of 2 rock 'em sock 'em robots in the ring. Sometimes, when it's a "David vs. Goliath" story, he runs a picture of Rocky in front of the tall Russian boxer from Rocky IV (I think it's IV).

Right now, the story on the front page concerning the world record data transfer is accompanied by a picture of Speed Racer.

None of these photos has anything to do with the actual story. They are subtle attempts to weave a bit of pop culture into the existing story to make the front page of the website more interesting and visual pleasing.

Hope this helped...

Can't call it on the Mach 5... but I'm pretty sure Trixie can.
