Terrible. Tsk. Tsk. Sexual jokes in IT. I can't believe it. Those hooligans are ruining our beautiful Victorian visage and alienating women in IT everywhere. I, for one, insist that we have completely non-descript humor in our marketing that appeals to everyone and alienates none. Haha, did you hear the one about Harold the WASP? He bought a pear. Haha. Oh man, hilarious and ironic. Anyway, seriously... it boggles my mind that people are unhappy about this (again). If it was an ad sporting a lanky male geek in some hilarious predicament as a result of his physique and sex , like that found in Apple's commercials w/ super kawaii Japanese cameras being totally disinterested in the PC, it would be perfectly alright. Yet once we factor in sex and females... ZOMG we can't have that! Speaking of which, isn't this something that should be offensive to the male sysadmins in the audience and NOT the feminists? I mean, its implying that the sysadmins who read this magazine don't get *ahem* serviced. Oh well, I also note that the background is black. That's racist! I think that I'll write in too. Oh my.
