      Maybe they will put on a televised NPPL halftime show of bikini speedball.

        You know what...

        If they had licensed the photo from the modeling company it wouldn't have the watermark. I'll bet you good cash money they just swipped the of the website.

        Perhaps somone should notify the owner of that property so he can sue.

          You may be completely correct but I find it interesting that you feel that a woman could in no way shape or form have paintball knowledge equivolent to that of a man. I know for a fact that there are many women out there that know more about the sport than I do. One of them used to hang around her quiet a bit (Clare). With attitudes like yours pervading the sport it's not surprosing that the number of women playing still only equals a small percentage.

            You know, I was thinking about that. I suppose it's really not that far fetched for someone to have photos taken of themselves by a professional photographer. I just find it odd that they would use a photo that is over 3.5 years old (based on the date those are posted on the site). Now, I'm not saying that having a female rep is enough to make people go out and just drop $1600 on a gun like it's no big deal. I do however believe that they have their reasons in doing this, some of which are a good idea due to the crowd they have to deal with on pbnation.

              I hope the person behind the AudryDLX screen name is not a guy, because the person is claiming that the voice from the marker is Audry's own. If it is a dude....that would be LOW!!

Also, someone email the techpb dude, he has a wide audience of agglets that do whatever he says. If we can get them all to hate SP just a little more, it's a step towards SP feelin' some karma.



                EDIT: Let me be clear, it is EXTREMELY plausible. You're definitely 100% right. They got some random photo of a chick and invented "Audrey". Or maybe they really hired someone named audrey for cover purposes or something. But the people that log onto the "Audrey" account on PBN are actual paintball people, probably male, and real employees of DLX.
                Done and done, i quoted him and posted it on the DLX forum, i'm going to laugh if they ban me for that as it's all speculation.

                I have to admit though, if jesus had a rack, no beard, a womanly face, and was in a bikini, that would definitely get more people to go to church. :rofl:

                  Here's the problem,

                  Women playing = small percentage (given)
                  Number of players with excellent knowledge of both paintball and SP < All players (observation, I'm one less)
                  Number of women models < number of women (definition)
                  women models that don't mind being bruised = oxymoron

                  If there was one of these, it makes sense that they would be instantly hired as a rep. It just seems unlikely.

                    It's turned into a flamefest over there sort of, just everyone telling me i'm wrong or that it doesn't matter, seems they can't see that it's also low of smart parts to do this.

                      I see "She" responded, and of course did not deny or confirm anything yet.

                        Yeah, and now there's a guy in there trying to attack me personally because whatever they say has to be true. Apparently i'm jealous because i wish i could be as pretty as her. Sometimes i weep for my generation.

                          I understand your point of view but mine was more that the OP basicly states that it would not be plausable for a woman to have that kind of knowledge.

                          Also the counter to your post is Calre, Keely Watson, Lisa Harvey etc. There are attractive women who "model" that play and I would bet a lot of them have more knowledge than a lot of the internet heros kicking around paintball forums.

                            snoopay, I'm on your side. I too think it's smells funny. But I'm curious to see what comes out of the whole mess.

                              Yeah, at least there's someone else raising points in that thread besides me, thanks for the help.

                              Also, apparently that guy that made a personal attack on me thought it hurt my feelings rather than me not liking that it was off topic and he apologized in a pm, and i basically told him i laughed my *** off at him when he posted that but it takes away from the conversation and leads to a flame war. Again, i weep for my generation sometimes, some of them are so stupid.

                                Just jealous that there is no Victoria Secret halftime paintball contest co-sponsored by AGD.

                                I knew that halftime show would come back to me, I just needed lunch.

                                That and models, money and publicity go together, so those types definitely float to the top. We'll see if any of us can name Audrey next year.
