    That’s two days in a row that they have used pictures of girls in the main pic without any links to a story. This one would be a very tentative link to the real story anyway. They should have have had Andy Murray for the story it references.
    For a website that seems to disdain valuing women based on their looks this is kind of strange.

    Hey Dennis,

    I think yesterday’s picture was one of sheep? We generally try and use something that our photo services have uploaded in the previous two hours or so and that we haven’t used yet in a story.

    But you’re correct about the link, I hadn’t put it in yet (was waiting for The42.ie to upload the story and then got side-tracked) but that’s done now.

    Cheers,
    Sinead

    Well Denis at least Esters picture is an updated version, unlike some people who use old versions, and are almost unrecognisable.
