1. I guess marketing AND design have QC problems.

2. Is the “fail” that they hired a female model with hairy arms?

3. I admit I’m not the brightest guy ever, but this has me stumped. What’s the fail here?

   1. You can’t read the whole statement because the white text washes out against the color of the headlight.

4. It’s hard to tell with the angle, but I think ‘slide-bite’ might come into play if she tried firing it.

   1. It’s more of the “Gee, I really want to put a round into the back of my left hand.” direction of the pistol. I know it’s supposed to simulate her drawing from AIWB, but it’s a bit of bad imagery.

5. Gun bunny issues aside it’s just a bad pic. The colors are washed out, the composition is off, the model looks odd with that ruffled-front blouse and her mouth open like that… confusing and unattractive.
   Worse, there’s no story. Generally a picture ‘tells a story’. What’s the story here? Is this person supposed to be a plainclothes cop? Are they a soccer mom stuck in traffic? Is some minivan-riding college chick about to pull into the last good parking space in front of the Habitat for Humanity store where all the folks who dress well dump last year’s blouses?

   1. I don’t know. I hope she doesn’t shoot her hand off, but for sure, the photo director has told her to keep her trigger finger way the heck away from the trigger. And there’s just something about the area of the picture near the gun that I just find mysteriously appealing.

      1. This is why the company should have hired someone like Oleg Volk for that photo. He knows about guns and correct handling, as do his models.
