[JMcEntegart]

Oh dear, Microsoft has found itself at the center of a wee bit of controversy for hiring women in gold bikinis to man its recent TechEd event in Australia.

, booth babes for all!

Notice how the complainer was a woman. If they fought the bad image of parking meters successfully they can combat the (supposedly) bad image of MSFT too.

i bet the complainer applied job, but couldn't fit into the bikinis

You mean she was fat and jealous. Lol.

 

[crabsncancer]

Microsoft, ignore the fatty and please have twice as many gold bikini girls at next year's Tech-ed, thank you.

 

[aliened]

Why does woman always have to complain of a chick just for being hotter than them? Envy.... pure envy... I bet that if all those complainers had the same kind of "attributes" as the booth babes they would keep their mouths shut.

 

[JackNSally]

Objectifying women? If they are so objectified why are women doing it?

 

[proxy711]

As long as women continue to take jobs like these the feminists can choke on it.

If a woman chooses to become an "object" out of her own freewill then there's no problem with that.

Now if the industry was fueled by slave labor that didn't give these women a choice in the matter then there's a problem.

"This may or may not have had something to do with the fact that one of the key conferences at TechEd was on 'Women in IT'..."

I can see where people would come from with this, if they were talking about the role of Women in IT and then all this happened. Still, probably not a big deal as it is made out to be.

Clearly a bunch of ugly old hags complaining because they're jealous. No one forced these girls to come to the event or dress the way they did, it's how they dress everyday for work.

 

[JOSHSKORN]

I bet the complainer was an Apple fanboy, has an iMac, iPhone, iPod and iPad, and he probably didn't like girls, anyway.

 

[cj_online]

Aye aye aye...sad sad bunch of fools we geeks are...

 

[micr0be]

+1 to all the above

 

[randomizer]

The Australian Classification Board has deemed gold bikinis to be Refused Classification material. Filter these women, please!

 

[chodaboy]

I wish a bunch of chicks objectified me.

 

[mikewong]

Man! I missed this!

 

[ghostie]

Yep, +1 to all the above...

 

[sa1nt]

Succubus...

 

[Gigahertz20]

If they had a couple of men models there dressed in hardly anything, I bet the women wouldn't have complained against that!

 

[Guest]

I'd like to apply for the Microsoft job of spending 2-3 weeks looking at photos of girls to choose the most appropriate bikinis. It's an important job and I think I'm well qualified for it!

"It seems that there are still marketing and promotional folks in the IT world who consider objectification of women to be ok," the Sydney Morning Herald quotes IT worker Kate Carruthers as saying."

haha, or their marketing and promotional folks still know how to bring in more money
