who needs pants?

I apologize in advance, for this post has nothing to do with papercraft or robots, but is just me ranting about something I've noticed on some online clothing retailers' websites that's been driving me CRAZY!  I've noticed that some online stores, such as Urban Outfitters and American Apparel, like to post pictures of their clothing on partially nude models.  For instance, American Apparel likes to post pictures of pants on models who are completely topless.  First of all, I find this very unhelpful as I normally wear tops with my pants (when I'm going outisde anyway), and it would really serve me better if I could see what the pants look like on a normal, fully-clothed person.  I get the whole young, sexy marketing thing, but really?  I have no problem with nudity on the internet, but does it have to be mixed in with my online shopping?

This is one of my favorites, a blouse from Urban Outfitters on a model wearing knee-high socks, Wellington boots, and guess what else....not pants!
