Least have the brains to do so discretely, and make the attempt at removing the watermark (note the istockphoto watermark accross the girl).

Have to wonder how good a quality that pic is... seeing as the only watermarked copy you can download from istockphoto without paying is less than half a megapixel.

wow, doesn't get any more blatant than that. For a place that way over charges for drinks you'd think they could spend the $10.

Eh, I don't really see it as a big deal. Maybe the design guy just forgot to go buy the real thing after he was done testing it, I know I've done that before.

I bet the vast majority of people wouldn't even notice it anyway, and if they did they still wouldn't know what's going on.

I'm going to say it was a site in the testing phases, because it doesn't look anything like that picture now. No biggy.

I am so not surprised by this.
They got in touch with me a while a go about promotions. Worst vibe I've ever had from a meeting. TS gave me the heebiejeebies, and from what I've heard before, their regular street promoters get shafted regularly on things. Almost like lead scrubbing, really.

Considering how much these guys wanted me to drop my rates, I really doubt it. I think they're just cheaping out.
