Her dismay was clear because the human female on the branding had boobs. What a weird thing to object to.

Eh, you know Karen. If it's a standard product that's suddenly being geared at women it's pandering or stereotyping or degrading or some such hyperbole as that. When Joseph tried to right that wrong ever so subtly tonight of course that wasn't quite good enough so she laid into him anyway. Can't win 'em all.

She's wasn't objecting to the woman having boobs at all. She was objecting the fact that Joseph and Gary had tried to cover the face of the woman on the packaging as, in their eyes, this would make it less obvious she was female; Karen was simply pointing out that it didn't matter if the face was covered since it was clear the person on the packaging was female since she had breasts.

They tried to make it a gender neutral product by lopping off some of the hair but then have someone still wearing a dress and having boobs....if you want gender neutral you're going to have to spend more effort than just giving a woman a haircut in photoshop.

Problem with it, was that the letter was on the boobs, and not on the figure as a whole. The first thing one would notice are the boobs, and not on the product is what I think Karren meant.

I agree it would be a weird thing to object to so it's quite good that isn't at all what she was saying.

Brady is a hypocrite.

I wonder if she was ever so vociferous in her championing of "women in business" when she had them draped all over the pages of the soft porn mags she used to flog.

She never worked in that part of Sullivan's business so she didn't flog soft porn mags. She certainly didn't have anything to do with producing them. Calling her a hypocrite is way over the top.

Anyway, in this case all she did was point out the figure on the packaging was clearly still female. It might seem obvious but Joseph had clearly missed it.

I'm glad she has noticed that women have boobs, given that she has a particularly fine set herself (puts tin hat on)

What's the matter with Karen this series? She's constantly interupting, nitpicking and showing people up - like the school tell-tale. Does she feel threatened by Claude? She wasn't like this with Nick.

She's stolen Nick's intense 'vinegar stroke' face. Almost half the time the cameras on her she's pulling it.

I did notice that one of the final things the boys did was tell the designer "can you cut the hair straight", but this wasn't done, so another mistake allowed to slip on what should of been the loosing team.

This is exactly what happened.

Yes I do. Seems you have become a bit confused as to her relationship to him though.

Your comment also bears no relation to her simply making a comment about some packaging. Bizarre.
