The AMAZING Australian IT industry calendar

Yes, it really is worthy of capital letters. It's a calendar that encourages Australian women to get involved in the IT industry. It does this by dressing up existing IT-employed ladies all pretty. Or, at least, as close as any of them can get to pretty.

'MORE FABRIC! We need MORE FABRIC!'

"Australia is currently in the depths of an ICT skills shortage and this is how we are addressing it."

Would not enter the Matrix

"Featuring twelve 'women from industry', the Screen Goddesses calendar aims to promote ICT as a career of choice for high school girls. This is achieved through movie themed shoots that cover popular films such as Miss Congeniality, Thelma and Louise and, as pictured, Basic Instinct."

Hurry up and drive off the edge

"I have eleven more of these, each more disturbing than the next. Notable highlights include a clearly autistic Trinity and a plumper for Ms. September."

Fat woman masked by ruffles

"In summary, the entire calendar can be summed up as 'three woulds' - John."

Tie them together with rope and chains

Terrifying. Sorry. Hope you're not eating a sausage sandwich while reading this.

I thought it was one of those days where everyone I look at is incredibly ugly. Thankfully it's just Idiot Toys. I feel carefree and happy now, though slightly nauseous.

I like the way that none of them are proper IT jobs like programming.

Surely there's got to be more attractive Australian women working in IT than that?

All this calendar's going to do is put young men off a career in IT instead, thus deepening the skills shortage, making cocks everywhere shrivel up in disgust. OK, my cock. OK, so I've got an erection. But still..

It's not so bad. If you tried to take some shots of some of the girls I have worked with in IT you'd need one hell of a wide angle lens!

Three woulds? They must get a hell of a lot better than this then. It's nice to see transexuals getting modeling jobs though, good for them!

Lisa looks like she'd accommodate the entire football team.

That's one hell of a message to be sending nerdy young girls in IT.

"I like mucking about on computers all day long..."

It's no wonder people think working in IT is easy when stupid people say things like that.

You wouldn't have much confidence in crossing a very large river if the architects and builders in charge of building the bridges said stuff like "I like mucking about with mud and concrete all day, it's great we get covered in dirt and play in the sand, it's really fun!"
