CeBIT 2008: Men feign interest in lenses in order to be near moderately attractive woman for a bit

Maybe one of them even asked her a question about the lenses. It will be a day he'll never forget!

'So, er, are these your lenses?'

The one in the red is looking at the lenses, but clearly pointing his camera at the woman. Or he might just be testing a lens. But he looks the sort.

He's not brave enough to point it above her waist. Fail.

what the fuck is going on here? i really, really hope this is some kind of piss take.

the reason i never read any other shiny media blog ever is all the flash ads and stupid "network" shit all over the place that get in the way of the actual content and slow my browser to a fucking crawl if i have more than three pages open at the same time.

also: ha sony is advertising on here

Anoraks? Check.
Bald patches? Check.


Nah, those two are well into those camera lenses. They've gone beyond the simple need for fleshy women folk. I bet he's going to go home and rub one out over that lens.

What a mess. It now looks as "1998" as the rest of the fucking awful Shiny network.

I cannot understand how such an ugly collection of sites can exist let alone get millions of pounds to carry on existing.

Today is a very sad day for this site.

Yes, the new look is awful isn't it.

What? There's tech on this blog? I thought it was only women and batteries.

If this happens to UKR Cutlack will be hung. Or hanged. Did we ever come to a conclusion on that?

Dear Gary,

Do you know that there's a section on the left-hand side with NO adverts in?

Get it sorted

UKR isn't quite as sold out as here.

Surely you can convince them that their layout is foul. In fact you must be able to convince them that putting the world-famous SHINY MEDIA name at the top of the page will smear their brand with shit. Post more korean model upskirts and 'is she, isn't she' pictures asap.

Otherwise this will be a sad time :(

Please, please tell shiny media that their default blog layout looks awful. Having everything piled onto the right hand side give the page the impression that its about to fall out the side of the monitor.

Oh get over it all you onions - Idiot has to eat, you know! Would you rather him waste away on Morrisons-brand baked beans and Monster Munch?

No, it's not ideal. Yes, it does marginalise the "content" a bit. Yes, I fully expect to be dangled from my neck over a trap door until I am dead (avoiding the linguistic controversy) if it happens on UKR.

On the plus side, I find if you put your hands over your face and stare at the page through the tiny gaps in your fingers for a few hours, it is possible to see a few ways in which it could be worse.

Sorry to hear so many of you dislike the design. But for Idiot Toys to continue entertaining you all, it does actually have to pay for itself.

Much as we'd all love to run a blog network for the sheer love of it, we do all have to eat, maybe even buy clothes every now and then as well. And, unlike most men's magazines, which you pay for and then have to wade through 5 pages of advertising before you reach any editorial, a couple of ads at the top of what is otherwise a free website really doesn't seem all that terrible.

We'll certainly take the criticisms on board, however. The last thing we want to do is drive away all of Gary's loyal readers.

Katie, Gary is as hilarious as you aren't, and I'd be pleased (though surprised) if he could earn a decent living writing toss every day, but telling people they should be happy to get a 'free website' is beyond misunderstanding of teh interweb.

Thanks to Adblock, I don't see ads anyway, but I don't think you've done Gary any favours by turning the site into some turgid monster like the rest of Shiny's crap.

I was going to relate a beautiful story about a gang rape I witnessed down the canal last week but my heart's not in it :(

Lay off Shiny. They make Zara review vibrators. When the money starts running out they might make Zara review vibrators properly.

This is like discovering that the really cool house where your mate has been throwing parties all summer is actually his parents' place and they've just been overseas for a few months.

Isn't the whole point of this site meant to be that it isn't like all the vapidly incoherent bilge spewed forth in the name of technology elsewhere on the internets?

Incorporating this site into the Shiny "brand" is like taking a shit in a dress and then getting married to it.

Having a commercial agenda does not necessarily mean clear layout and nice design have to go out of the window, does it?

Or is that a special Shiny approach to giving things away free?

And as for advertising, oh yes! I always take the trouble to cut out adverts from men's magazines and hold them around the pages whenever I read a book. Reading words any other way makes me feel like a dirty pirate. The sooner Penguin start printing their logo and URL at the top of every page of their so-last-century paperbacks the better!

Well katie ive gotta say if youre going to put ads on here, then id start with something thats relevant to what its advertising...DMax...since when was a bloke who builds choppers a hero....whats all that about then. If the advertising is that bad then hey, why bother.

Katie, even though you're a female, and a rather attractive one at that, I won't hold it against you (I could do without another restraining order) but I really think Shiny should drag their blog template into the 21st century.

It is actually possible to have numerous adverts on a page without compromising on style, so please throw away that copy of Front Page 97 and invest some of Shiny's considerable wealth on a quality designer.

Now I've got that off my chest I hope to refresh the page and find another battery update. Don't let me down Gary.

I like that now it is all Flash adverts, a page that used to be full of huge images yet still took seconds to load and was smooth as anything now takes twice as long, and is jerky and shuddering when scrolling.

I agree, my problem isn't with ads but the utterly horrible site design. It's obvious you're in dire need of a graphic designer!
