Musky Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1341409813' post='1718524'] Doesn't that breach employment law on the grounds of being a) sexist and ageist? Just saying... Of course, I'm a bloke in my 30s who's about 8lb too heavy, with nay titties at all, so it might just be me being a bit grumpy.

Gust0o Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I need some more euphemisms for my application. Also, some pictures of a woman. I know this sounds shady, but I need pictures of women with boobs.

But my genes have provided me with a curvaceous figure and a thin warbly singing voice. Maybe I'm playing bass to compensate!!

EdwardHimself Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I don't know. I think drumming would probably be regarded as less "girly" (whatever that means). I personally think girls who play the bass are fantastic; can't stand those ridiculously long fingernails or anything. It's all just crap really, let's face it though, this is not the first band ever to be obsessed with their image. They even admit in their ad they are more bothered about getting famous than actually playing music they like. Well good luck to them.
