Use of eyecandy
So it's hardly a new thing that El Reg articles sometimes decide to find an irrelevant picture of a pretty woman to use in the article, because apparently it shares some % of its publishing DNA with Loaded or something.
I've noticed recently that there's an increasing tendency towards not-really-SFW images being used in this category. Compare EEEPC-girl with the Godaddy blog ad girl, or the quite-possibly-naked-from-waist-down girl used in Alaistar Dabbs' most recent "Something For the Weekend?" column. The former is fine, the latter two are the sort of thing that will, at the very least, lead to raised eyebrows in all but the most casual (ie media) offices. At least stuff like that polish calendar is clearly tagged as being NSFW.
On a related note, modifying the use of picture links in the sidebar would also be appreciated, for much the same reasons.

Simply block the images with adblockplus or the like. It's not rocket science.
As a side-note, Captain Underpants, do you use that handle at work? Why? Why not?
Re: Use of eyecandy
Thanks for feedback.
Will forward to pic people for their perusal.
