And what fact would that be?  That we Americans have an appreciation for the
form of the opposite sex, rather than indulging our animal instincts in
football (soccer) hooliganism?  Except, of course, if said American happens
to be an Oakland Raiders' fan...

I think it's more about the girls' looks. My local supermarket has
sexier-looking women at their checkouts.

You could say that...Say what you will about Southern Belles, but, in not
just my opinion, none are as good looking as SoCal cheerleaders.  USC, UCLA,
San Diego State, Cal State LA, the list goes on...

Those southern girls look inbred. I think cosmpolitan offspring
generally tends to be much prettier and healthier, probably because
you have a wider and richer gene pool.

Yeah, that would be it.  Sheesh, it took you 2 days to come up with that?

What's amusing about this pic is that there's only one of those girls
that I would consider pretty. Yup, the one sitting right in the middle
holding the child. The rest fully embody the word "homely".

Homely and clumsy (I bet) yet cheerful and proud/happy. Very american!

The one on the far right in the front (the Fit to be Tide) girl is not bad.  A
friend said the one beside her looks like one of the Wayans brothers.

I'm glad you motivated me to take a closer look.  Of course you're nuts.
Remind me never to let you arrange a marriage for me.

Bret/Annika, I think a different downsampling algorithm would produce
better results (make the girls look prettier).  Pre-blur Lanczos with
post-sharpening would be my best guess.  Which algorithm did you use?

You're not kidding.

If you want to improve the girls' looks, I think you'd get better
results with a Gaussian blur of about 30 pixels.

I use Photkit Sharpener from Pixel Genius.
I'd be interested in hearing about other sharpening methods like the one you
describe if you want to e-mail me.

Hmm, if anything I think this picture has too much sharpening.
Look at the legs of the UAM woman on the top row far right,
or the cheeks and forehead of the woman top row 4th from the left.
Both seem oversharpened.

Here's a study of down-sampling methods by Bart van der Wolf.
Of course it depends on the pixel dimensions of the original.
My e-mail is on the Organization website above.

Did you try Photoshop Bicubic Smoother and Sharper, then decide
Photkit Sharpener was better?

My guess is you wouldn't complain too much if any of them were "bobbing for
apples"

Yuck. The only one of them I'd look twice at is the 3rd from the left in
the top row.
