*Jingle* Most arousing promotional image of the weeeek

This photo also wins the Most Like It's Still The 1970s Promotional Image of the Weeeek award, along with the Idiot Toys Special Commendation for bravely still portraying women like objects in the year 2008.



The story behind this stunning photograph is sadly monumentally dull. It's a mobile phone company that did a survey about text message chat-up lines and "flirting" in cars. Whatever flirting is. This picture is the idea they had to illustrate it with. When Wired magazine or tomorrow's Observer runs with Talk2Reg's list of "best chat up lines" they can use this photo.

"ARE THOSE SPACE PANTS YOUR WEARING COZ YOUR ASS IS OUT OF THIS WORLD?"

Talk2Reg flirt survey reveals best and worst chat up lines

With Valentines Day just round the corner, many of us will be hoping to flirt our way into someone's affection. A survey carried out by Talk2Reg shows that we are not confined to flirting with work colleagues or people we meet in bars or clubs. According to the survey 61% of people have admitted to flirting with a stranger whilst in their car, whether it is a cheeky grin or smouldering look, UK flirters are shameless.

It's not just a pretty face that appeals to us when flirting, 54% of respondents said the car had an influence on whether they flirted or not. On top with 39% was, surprise surprise, sports cars, and cool convertibles with 26% of the vote. While 3% love a lorry driver - who said us flirters are shallow! The Talk2Reg flirt survey also found out that the sexiest car on the road roaring into pole position is Audis and Mercs, leaving three-wheel wonders and Skodas in their dust.

The survey also unleashed some of the best and worst chat lines, so this Valentines Day choose carefully...

Six of the best chat up lines

* You are like a compass, without you I am lost.
* Are you a parking ticket coz you got fine written all over you?
* Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date?
* Do you believe in love at first sight or do I have to walk past you again.
* I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I can make your bed rock!
* Are those space pants your wearing coz your ass is out of this world?

Six of the worst....

* Here's 20p, ring your Mum and tell her you won't be home tonight.
* How do you like your eggs in the morning?
* I like your dress it would look great on my bedroom floor.
* Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
* Your dad must have been a thief, coz he stole the stars and put them in your eyes!
* If you were a burger you'd be a McGorgeous.
