From the screenshots on http://supertuxkart.blogspot.fi/ it seems that she does have clothes on in the game itself (though her cold-resistance is marvelous in the screenshot where she drives through snowy village with bare shoulders). But in a way that makes the poster only more pointing, if it's not even representing what she is like in the game (so much for the question if that kind of character is needed for some role in the game). She does not have same clothes on both screenshots where she appears, so her clothes do change in the game, and it's possible that she is more scantily clothed in some situation not appearing in screenshots, though. - ML -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
