    front runner ad

    Has anyone seen the front runner ad "Front Runner INNOVATE" SQL Server 2008 on the forum?

    Is it just me, or does it look like this guy has another set of legs (or something) coming out from the side? Is this bad photochopping, or am I missing something else here?

    I can't say I've seen them myself, so my answer will be according to that image you posted: Yes, it's badly photoshopped.

    I still get those damn WoW ones...

    after second look, it appears that its another guy tackling the dude with the ball. they just either did not do a good job showing the other guy, or they never wanted him in the ad.

    Looks like they removed half of the guy trying to get the ball, and left his legs...

    Probably one of those new trick plays so you won't know who has the ball.

    hey at least most football players can still walk when they retire. Rugby seems to force retirement on its players.

    The badly photoshopped guy is probably a metaphor for Oracle.
