That's harsh and unfair and once again shows your utter ignorance of different cultures.

The same way you'd probably feel if you moved to a nudist colony. Get some perspective.

It seems that chris.hinton knows nothing about the Pushtoon /Afghan culture.Behlol got offended by that picture only because he is a Pushtoon/Pathan.In the Province to which he belongs,Afghan culture dominates the life of people.And in that province,most women are neither allowed to acquire education nor they r allowed to leave their houses for any social purposes.Even if some women leave their houses,they r with their faces covered so that strangers may not recognize them.A person (like Behlol) belonging to such an area would definitly find that kind of stuff to be offensive.

Hi there - yeah, we've had thoughts on whether to include that photo in the emails we've sent out, but we decided to include it and we've had no complaints from our membership so far (the email went out to well over 100k people).

Obviously we don't want to offend anyone and these photos were originally done for a lads mag (no, not a Pr0n mag, the lads mag ZOO) but we felt that they were suitable enough for general usage.

And yes, some have seen it as effective advertising - does a half-nekkid woman advertising stuff means it sells more? No idea. But EA don't do this and they've never had a number one cricket game... :dry:

Any complaints then please send them through - I'd rather our audience be honest with us because we'll know what they want (and don't want) better. The online email is codem@codemasters.com and we will be happy to hear from you.
Oh,you can't compete with EA Sports.Their games are one of the best.Cricket2005 is much better than BLIC 2005.They cant even spell player names :thumbdown

that has to do that EA has way more money then Codemasters, dont be so dumb Behlol, you know that damn well.
Cricket 2005 might be better, but never been on the no1 spot.
and that that picture is worsest youve ever seen...you havnt been on the internet! cuz believe me....there are WAY worser pics around and even easier to spot that this one.

I`m a seventeen year old male living in Australia, and I wouldn`t call it offence, but I reckon the amount of *** in advertising is ludicrous really. Though there is no arguing that it doesn`t work.

And Chris... well, the others have said enough really. Just keep an open mind mate.

To correct you,there are still sign-boards with women but wearing shalwar kameez.And in Peshawar the number of girls is more than boys nowadays.We are not that backward
