The headline and lead sentence of this article (Show us Your Racks) are in very poor taste and are offensive to women with their obvious attempt at double-entendre humor. Stooping to this type of smug, college frat-boy nonsense is an embarrassment to the telecommunications industry as a whole and CE Pro in particular (there is nothing “pro” about it). I wonder how the women on your staff feel about this. And does Middle Atlantic Products appreciate sponsoring such an offensive, small-minded program?

Maybe it should of said “Show Us Your Metal Racks”, or “Show Us Your A/V Racks”, but that is not as humorous as “Show Us Your Racks”.  Loosen up your zip tie a little bit, and if you are offended by it, just turn the page….

Oh, please, J.S.  This is an innocent light-hearted title, and does not cross any sexism or discriminatory lines.  Would you have a problem with a title “Show us you’re Nuts about electronics!” ???

Lighten up, Favre.

I’m a CE Pro editor and one of the industry’s few chicks. I have no problem with it, but I guess I’m not your typical girl either.

Elan (whose marketing vp is a woman) handed out “Nice Rack” t-shirts at a recent training event.

Middle Atlantic has used some double entendre in the past.

If anything, the “nice rack” theme is overdone.

Ours is a male-dominated industry. I suspect most of the women here take these “offenses” lightly.
