Maybe they were who identify as objectified women?

"Biz admits turning human women into faceless, sexualized furniture was a 'tone deaf' marketing ploy."

But having bearded men dress up as women would be great! /sarc

I’m probably not alone in saying I opened this thread just to see if this was there.

I don’t see anything offensive about the gimmick. Someone is going to be “offended” about anything at all.

"I don’t see anything offensive about the gimmick.

Certainly not in the way people were offended, as if it was some sort of derogatory comment about women. In fact, if the lampshades were tilted back a bit to show more of the face, some people would probably hail it as a brilliant fashion statement.

I was at Black Hat about 10 years ago.
Even then, it had mutated into hyper lib agenda but no one talked about it.
Now I’m sure its openly liberal with meetings on how to bring about a Hyper-Lib World Gov using technology.

I saw this on the register last week, I am still trying to figure out why people have a problem.

On the other hand, I am offended that we cannot have tons of scantily clad booth babes like we used to have, and they still have in Asia.

Why apologize? I assume this was a legitimate legal transaction for a job/work.
