    The group wrote: "Although this is potentially funny (the AJA committee has tossed around some non-PC jokes) it’s really not a good look.

    "We suspect some product manager may cause the company some embarrassment.

    “So we’ve politely written to Wesfarmers corporate suggesting the product be pulled.”

        I mean, it’s a fair cop. “Hey guys, not sure if you’ve noticed this, but…”

        It wouldn’t surprise me if Wesfarmers overreacted to their message because of who it was from, too.
