Nurse uniforms incorrect
Humorless feminists get their bloomers in a knot in Australia:
"The company behind one stand at CeBIT Australia struck the wrong chord with women in the technology industry this week. Web hosting company NetRegistry used women in nurse uniforms and men dressed as doctors to stand out from the crowd at the show. The outfits were accompanied by posters reading: "Want longer lasting server up-time?"
The stunt, which the company said was directed by "women and a gay guy", has been slammed by some women in the industry as demeaning. IT worker Kate Carruthers said NetRegistry's depiction of women at a trade show was unacceptable. "I was there and didn't like what I saw," Ms Carruthers, who is a member of Females in the Information Technology and Telecommunications, told news.com.au.
However NetRegistry chief Larry Bloch defended his company against claims the stunt was distasteful. "I think there are some people out there that just need to relax," he said. "It was a bit of harmless fun," he added.

Females in the Information Technology and Telecommunications - FITT. How appropriate. They seem to have a FITT over just about anything.
The days of having "booth babes" is gone....
Those uniforms are very sexy, they look like they belong in a porn movie.
I'm liking what I see ...
Um,... Bobby, no more caffine for you. The comment was about (1) person, not (all) nurses. Lighten up dude, or double-up on your meds!
Jesus, can't fantasies just be fantasies anymore? I find it very ironic that the last several times I have been to visit someone in a hospital, that the most over weight, pudgy people were the nurses. So much for someone in the health care industry practicing a good diet!
"I have been to visit someone in a hospital, that the most over weight, pudgy people were the nurses."
---Nurses don't have normal 9 to 5 jobs, they work different shifts, including the dreaded graveyard shifts that play wonders with metabolism. They also have stressful jobs where things can get really stressful in a hurry.
"So much for someone in the health care industry practicing a good diet!"
---They don't get paid to practice a good diet, they don't work in fashion, they're not actors, they don't have access to lots of free time with personal trainers and nutritionist, they are however the people that have to give a damn when some patient is there.
Seriously, I don't understand this expectation to have every woman look like Ms. California. We might as well bring back smoking, who cares about cancer if you make a lovely corpse?
Bobby that sounds like nothing but excuses. Tell me where one can find a job that pays you to have a good diet. You can't, because there aren't any. It is up to each of us to eat right and get enough exercise.
"Seriously, I don't understand this expectation to have every woman look like Ms. California."
Because people like looking at attractive people. Based on your various comments, it sounds that you have a chip on your shoulder concerning this topic. It almost as if you agree with the 'humorless feminists' from down under.
Feminists are sad shrill creatures. I'd find them harmless if they didn't wield the power to be a pain in the @$$!
