Why does Wired have a naked woman on the April cover?
{Pulling my hair out}
I hate this cover!!! Hate it! Loathe it! Okay, there I have gotten it of my chest. Jenna Fischer, Miss Pam from The Office, is nekkid with nothing but a sign on the cover of Wired magazine's April issue. Actually, it's a two part cover where there is some acetate action going on. The first cover has a picture of Jenna in a short tight skirt business suit printed on the acetate, and the cover underneath is this one where she is naked, up-do still in tact. Top page. She's dressed. Flip page. She's naked.
The story Wired is trying to promote is about the new need for corporate transparency, you know all that getting authentic, "Naked Conversations" type of thing. The need for transparency is so obvious that even the bozos at "The Office" get it. Creative Director Scott Dadich had this to say:
"We wanted a cover that was smart and showy. And as Creative Director I wanted something that hadn't been done before. We settled on the idea of printing on clear acetate. But it had to be interactive. Now you’re in a business suit—now you’re not."
Okay, I get that corporate transparency is an important trend, but why do you have to put a naked woman on the cover to make your point? Why not put one of The Office guys naked on the cover? Oh that's right! {hit myself on the noggin} It's because no one wants to see a naked guy on the cover of a business magazine. Naked guys on covers isn't showy. No it's gross. But naked chicks, weeell that's a different pad of sticky notes.
Frankly, I think you were not being creative at all in this cover. It's familiar boy's club crap. Yeah, just sex up the receptionist. Why didn't you throw in the pot of coffee while you were at it? Naked women on business magazines is just wrooooong, and that's why it's never been done before by anyone with class. For crying out loud, how can you be so progressive and backwards at the same time? It's ridiculous Wired people! This just has sexist bad taste written all over it. This is definitely showy but it is by all means NOT smart. I want to unplug you now.
