An Observation

Why is it that marketeers seem to think that people really use their laptops in grassy parks?

In every university prospectus on the "online" page there will be a picture of an attractive student sitting in a park using an Apple MacBook Pro.

For some reason these people also frequently barefoot.

Why would anyone be using the web in the middle of a public park without any shoes?

Objections:

  1. You'd get mugged.
  2. Students that can afford MacBook Pros can also afford appropriate footwear.
  3. Most grassy parks are not the sort of places you want to walk about barefoot in.
