Yahoo! Mail's new look

Lately while checking my yahoo! email I have noticed those crazy cats at yahoo exclamation mark have changed the look and/or feel of their email login screen - Random pictures of people.



Ooohh pictures of people, nice... putting a human face on a web based interface. Its always good, Kate, designer at work does this all the time, gives a nice warm, friendly usable feel to a website.
Then tonight I go to check my mail and this person comes up! I say person, because I still can't work out if this person is a guy or a girl. Im leaning towards guy due to the thick eyebrows, big nostrils and bad complexion.



Check this pic out, this picture scared the shit out of me when I went to the site tonight. What audience is this "new look" yahoo mail aiming at? Yahoo mail, mail for creeps like you and me. I don't want a dose of reality while checking my mail. If I want to see dodgy people I'll go down to elizabeth shopping centre. This guy looks like a pedeph!le.. A kiddy fiddler, THE INTERNET!!! kids the internet, a place to get in touch with old creepy men. Why would you decide to put this pic up? What are they trying to do? this baffles me. It really does. The pictures themselves are not even good quality, the colours are bad, photos underexposed and/or badly cropped.

Is this the work of some smart arse work experience kid?. Hey kid, oh yeah.. I got a job for you, we need some pics for our mail page, go forth young man/woman.. These pics remind me of something you would find on Found Photos.

Below are some more examples of "what the hell were they thinking" photos which show up on the new look yahoo! mail login screen, along with some made up captions for the pic. Post your own captions.. I'll number the photos for you.

1. Peda Phil

"Once your done checking your viagra spam IM me for some steamy 1 on 1 chats.. maybe tonight you will finally give me your address Timmy"

2. Shady Shane

"What? What? Im so baked right now, wanna buy some 6X9's? need a bag? Shady Shane, dropped out of school yr 9, schools for fags"

Note - People who wear glasses all the time, I don't trust them, what are you hiding? I hate trying to talk to someone who's wearing glasses, I feel like they have some advantage over me or sumthing. its dodgy!

3. Extreme Evan

Yeah this is prolly another picture of Shady Shane again but what the hell.
"Woooooooooooo check that sh!t out, Bronx, what?"
- How is this a good pic for an email log in screen. Who can connect with this shit?

4. Tina Towel Beach Muslim

Only until just then did i realise that was a towel over that girls face. At first I was like.. oh a muslim shot.. covering all bases ok.. Thought it was a posed muslim pic. lame. looks like the jokes on me.

5. Force Fed Freida

"Eat the pizza bitch, eat it!!.. but I have a slice in my hand.. no no this shot isnt posed... Once again why this shot? Oh this is such a fun shot, what fun they are having. Eat it!!

6. Nut Job Neddy

Ahhh old Ned, that senile bastard you see hobbling along the side of the road, wandered off from the hospital/retirement home. What a laugh he is. Hear him shouting at that 15 year old guy for littering.. pick that up you ungrateful hellian, why when I was your age I would have been beaten severely if I dropped my feather writing pen. Who is this connecting with? Old people who use the internet? If i was really old and saw this picture I would feel like crap, like my age base has been grosely misrepresented, who is this fool? Once again... bad choice yahoo!

7. Gangly Guenivive

Oh what pleasure she is deriving from that... uh what the hell is that thing? Minda faces don't get much better than this. What is it in the background? Can anyone work this one out?? Meat? Fish? What the hell? Is she in a meat freezer?. Ok so the reason this pic is on the front page of yahoo! mail is....? this makes no sense.

8. Teresa the Tongue

"I'm so zany, look at me... Ive like soooooo been drinking red stuff all day, Im so hypo.. wooooooooooooooo!!! see me giggling hysterically at practically nothing, I know how to have a good time if you know what I mean.. wink wink.. oh I soooooo can't believe i just said that, im such a s1ut". - ok so this pic isnt that bad but why is it on the front page of yahoo mail?
