Unfortunately, this is not an ad. It’s a page from their current catalog and they’ve mailed out a ton of them.
They can remove it from the online edition, but that printed catalog is now in the homes of thousands on their mailing list.
What strikes me as so strange is that any catalog or ad copy is pored over and vetted by numerous people all up the chain and nobody raised their hand and said “Wait a minute here…”
Do they have any women involved in this process or is it all men? And if there are women involved, were they too cautious (or cowed) to risk going against the tide?
I find it strains credibility that NOBODY noticed a problem, especially in light of the recent revelations in the Cosby situation, don’t you?
So why didn’t anybody pipe up and say something.
And why did it need any text at all? I’m just kind of astounded by the whole thing.
When I first heard about this, it was only the first part of the sentence which isn’t necessarily that bad as conceivably both people could be in on it.
But when they add “when they’re not looking” that pretty much removes all doubt.
What were these people thinking?
