While developing an affiliate website for one of our mobile network clients, my employer came over and reviewed the site we were building.
Boss: “I think we need to have some sort of avatar on the home page, to welcome the users to the site.”
Me: “Okay, no problem. Was there anything you had in mind?”
Boss: “Well since sex sells, I would like to have a slim, sexy cartoon woman holding a mobile phone.”
[I proceeded to create this sexy avatar.]
Me: “I’ve finished the avatar. Was this what you were after?”
Boss: “That’s nice but it’s not what I was after.”
Me: “Okay. What are you looking for then?”
[My Boss then loaded up his internet browser and Google searched an image of a small, chubby, animated duck holding a mobile phone.]
Me: “I thought you wanted a sexy woman?”
Boss: “I do.”
Me: “So you want a cross between a sexy woman and a fat, yellow duck?”
