What's the picture of the girl about over there ----> after rec reading and before 'recent'?

It doesn't seem to link to anything or be about anything. I assume it's an instantly recognisable face to those of you who actually watch TV and shizzle...

i think it;s an ad gone wrong perhaps?

i've never seen her before.

- Yeah, I guess it must be.
  
  It kind of looks like a young Britney posing for a fake 1960s yearbook photo.

I presumed it was an advert for polo shirts.

  Its pretty clever if it is, cause we're all taking notice of it...

I feel left out

Our company's internet is routed through France, so I have an advert for Peter Jackson's District 9 in French :'(

        i think you have to click it 5 times before it works.
        
        a bit like at the end of goldenaxe (if you make the woman come down the rope on top of you, she has sex with you).

She's DiS's progress bar.

I still don't get it

It just links through to a bigger picture of her. She's very good looking admittedly, but I don't get what the picture is there for. Is it the first wave of some viral marketing thang? Who knows /cares.

Is it me or does she look a lot less good looking

with the text cutting up her face.

That's not even meant in a 'i'm so witty and Vampire Weekend are bad' way. I swear there's something about it that makes her look weird...
