Must be somebody's idea of a joke, or maybe they were partying a little too hard in the photo studio that day.

I thought this was the dumbest picture of a touring bike seatpost ever:

...but I think the 2010 520 shot is even dumber.
Different strokes, but I for one prefer my bars 4-5" below the saddle. Mine aren't much different from the pics you link. I find it much more comfortable on the long haul than the "sit up and beg" position.
