Sorry, but I just have to bitch about the main joyourself.com banner...

"Give surfers access to literally over 9000 female and male performers"

What exactly does that mean? If it said "Give surfers access to over 9000 female and male performers", how could that NOT be interpreted literally? Is there a figure of speech I have not heard of that goes something like "Give surfers access to over 9000 female and male performers".

Just because we are pornographers does not mean we have to butcher the english language. I'm not exactly perfect when it comes to grammer myself, but when creating banners, which are hard to change and convey an image of the company behind the banner, I usually look it up if in doubt.

There, I feel better. Needed to get that off my chest.
