You assume a company should be all serious. There are way worse stuff in South Park, Monty Python or Naked Gun. The slide is just an attempt at being funny. It may not make you laught, you may find this humor borderline, you may want this should never happen in your company, but it's not shocking that they allowed this in there. What are shocking are sexist actions. Any agressive/unfair action toward somebody actually, this is not a gender issue. The dubious slide ? Meh.

> You assume a company should be all serious. Except nothing about this is funny, and if you think it is, it only shows how detached you are from reality and humanity. It's like casual racism.

  You could say that for most TV, cinema and youtube. We don't all agree on what's funny and what's offensive.

But those movies are clearly meant as comedy and everyone watching it knows that. Some comedians say things that are accepted because they are comedians and anyone repeating their jokes in public in a setting where it might be taken quite differently than as a joke might get into some trouble for doing so. I really do not see how the two compare..

  If I watch this slide, I'm not going to take it to the letter. Only an idiot would. "bigger is better" ? You take that phrase seriously in a corporate slide ? It's clearly an attempt to humor. I get you don't find that funny. I just don't get how shocked everyone is. The US elected a president that "grab them by the pussy". You have real problems. Those slides are not.
