A (presumably blonde) female EA representative was discussing the
upcoming F1 game/sim with a member of an F1 team. When the talk was
close to the end, she asked him, `So, any other special wishes?' and he
looked her deeply in the eyes, and said `Ahem, how a about a little
head?'
So that's why there is a small head in all the screenshots.
The joke was actually a recycle of another old joke, but in my opinion
it fit perfectly into the current topics of this newsgroup. I wrote it
hastily and in a manner I would have told a joke to my friends. While
this style of communication would have been perfectly acceptable in the
circle of people I am with daily (my ex-girlfriend, who is as blonde as
it gets and by no means dumb, enjoyed this kind of jokes just as much as
anyone else), I do realize that there are a lot of people and places
that are much more PC sensitive. While I tend to believe that jokes
about stereotypes are a part of the popular culture and can, in fact,
help demistify certain taboos, I know this viewpoint is not shared by
many others.
I again apologize for being a bit inconsiderate.
