strange dimensions
Apparently she's also 2.2 ft high and 6.5 ft long.
Coat please.
M&S flogs lingerie model with 'durable hardwood feet'
We know how much you lot enjoy a good e-commerce website gaffe, so we're obliged to the three readers* who forwarded us this nice example from Marks and Spencer: M&S website showing lingerie model described as living room furniture Well, you can't argue with that. As you can see, the lovely Tribeca boasts "modern curves, …

The zoom
function is pretty cool on this particular model... :-)
Not sure what the wife will say
Absolutely what I was looking for , for a bit of heavy domestic use in the lounge. I think a comfortable position in front of the telly would be good so I don't miss my favourite programs whilst I'm indulging in heavy use.
Eee
All of a sudden the Asus Eee lady bores me - from now on The Register should find a way to have this model in as many stories as possible.
E.g. "eBay bans negative feedback from sellers" could be illustrated with this image because, of course, people sell lingerie on eBay. Stories about Apple could be illustrated with this image because women buy laptops. Stories about the National Programme for NHS IT could be illustrated with this image, because she looks a bit like a nurse.
A story about taser guns, or electrical weapons, would benefit from this image because, in my neck of the woods, we call M&S "Marks & Sparks". Royal stories = Spencer = Marks & Spencer. And so forth. That covers most of the bases. Paris Hilton = woman = Marks & Spencers lady. You're creative people - create! And enable!
"All our fabrics have a stain resistant finish."
Really?...
@ System
Thats the dimensions when you lay the Tribeca down on , for example, a bed - 6.5 ft long and 2.2 ft high... ;)
All well and good...
....but will the (cushion) covers come off easily; for cleaning, I hasten to add ?? I must visit M&S more often now.
Mine's that old "flasher" mac..
Disappointing limitation
"* Available with fixed covers only"
It's practical too...
"All our fabrics have a stain resistant finish."
well now
if she was in my house dressed like that, i'd be the one with durable wood
ahem
"durable hardwood feet"
- what more could you want in a Woman. I'll have two.
I can't quite make up my mind...
...whether M&S have made a giant cock-up, or a big boob
If you do zoom...
As AC suggested above, I tried the zoom function... After the zoom pics loaded, I noticed on the right, there is an option to "First, select a color." The only choice is brown, though.
Subtle racism, or forcing tolerance on the M&S crowd?
"All our fabrics have a stain resistant finish."
I guess Monica Lewinsky didn't get that blue dress at M&S.
Seems to be selling well...
Folks above complaining about 6 weeks delivery time are the lucky ones - it's now showing "out of stock" with no delivery estimate at all !
a cushion short
Product details state, "Includes 3 scatter cushions" ... I only see two.
Oh dear
Here it comes
I wouldn't mind rummaging in her draws!
Sorry - I'll get my coat.
sigh...
I've never heard it called 'sniggering' before.
What a beautiful creature, NSFW indeed! I need a picture like that to make it through the work day.
The page is down but here's the google cache address
I love google

re: hardwood feet
Made from Cherry, of the 2000 vintage?
Isn't this a bit like pimping?
We will contact you personally to arrange a delivery date, once your order is ready
Oxo tower again?
Looking atthe google cache the only colour available is Fudge.
Coat please.
Bloody advertising blurb.
Never tells you the important stuff. "sits perfectly in the contemporary living room" is all very interesting I'm sure, but does it lie down easily in the bedroom? I wouldn't buy one without knowing this.
Hardwood feet...
...are, I trust, not bloody freezing when she gets into bed.
careful now...
just look at what happened to sir paul!!!!
Hardwood feet?
Not too keen on two hardwood feet. I might see if the is anything in the McCartney range.
mmmm Paris
M & S Must be Reg. Readers
Wooden feet maybe, but not feet of clay. Page seems to have been corrected already.
comes with Hardwood feet is a typo
It should read comes with a foot of hard wood!
Sorry, sorry I'll get my coat.
One for the Paul?
Apparently Paul McCartney is on the look out for a new model with hardwood feet although I reckon it’ll end up costing him more than the initial price of £1,079 by the time he gets bored with it.
M&S Food to introduce new product range
In related news Marks and Spencer today announced it's new Soylent Green food range. Spokesman Louis Hill said that the Soylent Green brand guarantees a more sustainable approach to food production, meeting the needs of the modern consumer.
"Just as our latest home furnishing ranges have shown we are at the cutting edge of modern furniture design, we feel Soylent Green shows we are also at the cutting edge of the Green movement", he said.
Recent controversies over the sourcing of chickens have led to lower sales, with consumer groups calling for a greener approach to food production. "Our logo has been green coloured for years", Mr. Hill added.
Static
Composition:
45% viscose, 37% polyester and 18% cotton
Could cause me a bit of static with continual rubbing.
Do they do it in pure 100% cotton?
And for a bit of variety...
...there's Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow. Also, if you have the lolly, some apartments come with "furniture" as depicted in the advertisement above !!
Note: Mr. Harry Harrison will be demanding royalties for the use of his novella, "Make room, make room" and the concepts therein !!
PH as part of the furnishing !!
RE:M&S Food to introduce new product range
Everytime I hear/read "Soylent Green" my mind instantly associates with baby feces.
Page not found
Seems they removed it now.
Did anyone order one?
I'm begining to think
you get all your Odds and Sods Articles off the B3TA link page.
@Josh
That's probably because that's what you were making when the film first came out !!
