Typical trade show booth babe. Pretty? Yes? No? Enticing? Yes? No? Ifso, enticing for what? For a crummy pick-up line that will not work. I can assure you that this girl has heard a thousand lines.

NZ Muslims disown Australian cleric – New Zealand news on Stuff.co.nz ii Don’t want to over-interpret this because it’s likely that the Christian fundamentalists would say something similar.

While this sounds fine I have to ask about the word “enticed.” Enticed? Enticed to do what? If I see a hot girl on the beach in southern France with her top off and give her a good look what does this “entice” me to do? Hey, I’m not going to pick her up. I am not going to run off and practice self abuse. I’m not even going to take a cold shower. Is that what they are talking about? What am I supposed to be enticed to do? Seriously. What? I’m not getting this attitude or the enticement.

Perhaps I’d be enticed to take a picture and that’s maybe bad. Is that it?
