I'm female and found the image ironic, in the sense that it references the games I used to play in the 80s waiting for my fast food order. In the right context I think a half-naked body works quite fine. And this context is ironic, and clearly so. I also like the tune "Roxanne" because nostalgia.


You're not allowed to say that. Us straight white males need to be offended for you. Sigh...


I actually don't see it as a "feminism" issue. I'm not being offended on behalf of women. I would equally find a pile of poo at the win screen, or a pair of "Truck balls" on the envelope/car just as tasteless. Not offensive. just stupid immature gags that only appeal to teenage boys. But I guess we're in dog whistle territory if I don't express immense JOY at a naked woman being depicted in a business context. If groaning at a dorky pun or a poo joke or a naked lady makes me a feminist white knight so be it.


Agreed. You can't account for taste, but you can also not be offended personally by it. I see their contact page as a question of taste more than morality.
