Tracking a customer support cross-cultural trend

Eponysterical!

Yeah, it seems like designers (or bosses) think that it's a defensible excuse for some sex appeal on their otherwise dull site.

At least these two recent visits of mine were relatively staid:

AT&T: slick, corporate, no cleavage

Alliant Energy (Wisconsin utility): modest, cornfed, shoulder to camera

Sears uses a graphic that looks like a genie.

Home Depot has a multi-culti team. Maybe if there are no headphones it doesn't count.

That Alliant Energy one is like "Oh Hi! I didn't see you there."

If you want all the headset-hotties you can handle, just do an image search at your favorite stock photo site.
