Tired of seeing those 2 old ladies on the main page

Can we get a new picture on the main page? I'm kind of tired of seeing those 2 old ladies sitting on a porch smiling. The poor old white lady with the 1970's  peter frampton hair doo is talking to the black lady with the big bunch of snoop doggy dog 1980's dreads on top of her head, but the black lady (who hasn't quite figured out how to sit on a chaise lounge chair) is completely ignoring her.

 

Is this really a good picture to represent airbnb? I'm not feeling it myself.

Thank you for being politcally incorrect.

Being from the South, you may not realize how backwards you are. Us Yankees will continually remind you.

Please realize Airbnb is from "Hip" California . Get with it!

Only the following are allowed:

Pretty people.

Slim people.

Openly gay people. 

Tattooed and pierced people.

 

Extra points for being:

Mixed couple -  must be of the correct sex/color mixture.

Trans

Super-unemployed.

 

Not allowed:

Conservatively dressed white  couple with children.

Normal people who aren't special, but just want to spend money.

Anyone I've over-looked?

Yeah, It's maybe time for a frontpage change?...

Maybe put some millennials there?...

Or a picture of a multi-generational happy Airbnb guests, LOL!

@Donald28  Being an old lady myself, I've never minded that photo, but it does seem odd that a platform which is constantly encouraging us to update our photos and is constantly changing things around on their site for no good reason, just because they can, wouldn't change up the cover photo once in awhile.

Allowed: "Infants" who are fully mobile and verbal, running around pulling down everything they can reach in one's "not suitable for children" listing, while the parents turn a blind eye

@Branka-and-Silvia0 

That's funny! 😄

@Branka-and-Silvia0 

That is way more accurate!

 

@Branka-and-Silvia0  Perfect! "Infant" triplets, love it. Nice racial diversity, too. Maybe you could stick a gay or lesbian couple in there, making out in the bushes. 

Omg! That revised photo is perfect! I can’t stop laughing!

You of course now know, @Donald28, the powers that be will not change the photo out because you've asked for it. Ask = don't get [fromAirbnb].

Was actually just thinking the same a couple of days ago, i.e. "WHEN are they going to change that picture?!" but not quite from @Donald28's un-PC version. Thanks @Donald28. I'm never going to look at that photo in the same way.

 

@Branka & Silvia  very impressed. You've got skills.

@Donald28Thank you for providing my first good laugh of the day.  Being from the south, your post struck me as hilarious!  The new version was even more hilarious.  Since I joined this Community page a few months back, that cover photo has caught my eye for all the wrong reasons - it looks so "posed."  The two women look downright uncomfortable with each other.  Not sure what would look better, but the current photo is definitely not it. 🙂  Happy weekend to all!
