I can accept that.  I will be really surprised if the intention was NOT
to be somewhat ambiguous.  I too at very first glance thought it was a
woman (because album art so often is of females and is rarely of males),
but then realized that it looked more like a muscular, fit man with long
hair -- a "chippendales" type motif.  I thought that PK and/or the cover
artist were making some sort of statement (aren't all artists supposedly
always trying to make a statement?) by not putting on the typical Air
4-like, obviously-sexy female.

Maybe it looks cut & dried obviously-female on the final product -- but
from the PDF that's the impression I got.  Go look at the pdf link I
just posted and you be the judge.  If 90% of the listmembers think it's
a man or aren't immediately certain, then I think it's fair to call the
(PDF) cover ambiguous and hence my original post asking "what's up with
this?" is understandable, no?
