Maybe you're right and this is why they start watching her, but that 
doesn't negate the fact that she gets people interested in Ubuntu and 
feeling like they're involved and a basis for learning things. They also

thanks to her videos.  It's also really easy to say  "she's attractive 
geeky and smart" without mentioning breasts.
