Gratuitous whale tail photo


Look, it's bad enough that Valleywag ran this item (here) in a shameless attempt to drum up traffic. What's even more shameless is the idea of this blog using that same photo on our blog with some lame excuse about it being Apple-related because it was snapped in one of our stores. Well, namaste, Valleywag. I honor the place where your content and mine become one. PhotoCrankers, start your engines. Much love to Pravin in London for the tip. Peace, brother!

UPDATE: To all those who've written in asking, No this is not CNET reporter Ina Fried. But the resemblance is striking.

Yeeeeeech. I haven't been back to the States for quite a while, but this can't possibly be what passes for sexy these days.

Are you sure that isn't just Steve Ballmer in drag, looking for Apple stuff to rip off?

I witnessed this horror personally at the Menlo Park mall in NJ! It took me a few weeks just to get that image out of my head. Now I'll be having flashbacks through the holidays! That's just not right!

Ass handle tatoos and now whale tails. I'm glad I can barely see my youth in the rear view mirror and that all this stuff passed me by. It looks *really* uncomfortable.

I'd hit it.

Uh, yeah, that fat roll over the top of the elastic gives me a boner....

I'd tap that.

i used to work in a store in BOSTON of all places, this is a DAILY occurrence and all I can say is AT LEAST SHE WAS WEARING UNDERWEAR! Steve-o, this is why I tried to tell you the stools were just not a good idea - not only does everyone end up leaning all over everything (the entire store is wiped with cleaning solvent and pinesol before closing every day) but we get to see everyone's plumber! Save yourselves! YOUR PANTS MUST BE —THIS HIGH— TO ENTER THE APPLE STORE!

Yeccchhh. Nothing worse than a printed cotton whale tail. Look at the profile on it - no elegance - and the angle is all wrong.

Some people have no class. I'll bet she has a flower power iMac in her closet, too. (That one was Ruby's idea.)

maybe she's complaining about her bricked iPhone, you know, the iPhone that was bricked because people like her don't deserve such divine devices.

I got "treated" to a similar scene Monday from similar looking dame, except my show was nothing but butt crack. Must be that time of the year for sharing....

I wonder what the other end of the whale is doing....

Mmm. I bet that thong is of hiding one hell of a tramp-stamp.

I guess she's about 5 to 8 kilos to much weight...

She should buy an iPod-nano, a wristband, nike+shoes and a nike-pod-conector and go jogging everyday...

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
