I wonder why they didn't opt for making the table out of corflute. It is about the same as cardboard in strength, if not stronger. We is about as much, and as it's plastic water won't affect it at all.

I'm asking Matteo right now. He says that the cost for the material would be quite higher. Maybe 50$ more. Of course, in terms of durability it could be a good improvement.

Can you ask if Giorgia coming over in person to set up the table os a possible stretch goal? I'd be quite interested in that.

You'd get a table with two dents on the surface though...

So people were complaining about the use of the woman with the skimpy t-shirt and now we're making tit jokes? Nothing ironic here at all

1. What car adverts are you shown?

2. Do you buy a car depending on whether it's got an ad with a half-naked lady? Does it make the next few years of expenses and traffic better? What if the car was made of cardboard?

3. Did I take a wrong turn and end up at TMP?

1 Lol just type car show in google and look at the first 50 pictures...
i am talking about car fairs and the like, the one here in belgium is half about cars and half about the girls presenting them. It's like a convention for bad 'do you come with the car' jokes... well at least that's my personal feeling about this.

2 If we have a carry-able cardboard car, do we need another car to transport it?  o_o

3 I ust mad a joke about dents in the table, nothing else  ;D

And i don't visit TMP so most definately not  lol

I don't watch TV.

Not sure what your point is though.

Well you're rambling and not making a lot of sense so you tell me.

Considering that ad people know how to do their job, If they put chicks on ADs maybe it's because it work.

Maybe I don't, but someone does, apparently. Including the cardboard part.

3. Did I take a wrong turn and end up at TMP?
I don't know what's your point in that. Are you suggesting that someone here is having an appropriate behaviour?

Well, personally i was complaining about the use of the girl, not of her presence. An actractive girl is a pro, but somehow seems that they put here there with not "much sense" of the thing. The result is quite goof to me. But it's just my feeling, and there's nothing morally wrong in that choice in my opinion.

Guys, if you think that this ad is sexist or exploitative or both (which arguably it is) then  I'd suggest you look at in context. Watch an hour or two of Italian television, ideally a game show and see what you think. Oh and think about that elderly gentleman,convicted felon and former Prime Minister currently doing community service in a nursing home and his infamous shenanigans. Most of those TV stations are his by the way.

Personally my tastes are latin influenced so the expansive chest isn't such a great motivator for me. That said, Giorgia is rather pretty and the heavily accented English is rather appealing. I'm still not going to buy an origame cardboard box though.

At least with this you probably get what you see in terms of advertising, unlike the well known wargaming website that tastefully promoted it's 'female' employees as a lure to increase membership.  ;)

Okay, what did I miss?
