Why Lego hasn’t offered to hire us…yet

My husband was telling me about the dad that was shopping for Lego stickers for his son. Apparently, he noticed that one of the stickers showed a construction worker waving and saying “Hey Babe!”
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I said. “They put that on a toy set for kids?”
“He said it promoted stereotypes and sexual harassment,” my husband reported.
Well, yeah.
“The company apologized to him,” he said.
“That’s all?” I asked. “You’d think they’d at least send him a free Lego set to make up for it as a gesture of goodwill.”
“What set would they send?” my daughter asked. “The strip club construction set?”
“With a little tiny pole for pole dancing,” I suggested.
“The Gentlemen’s Club Building Set!” my husband enthused. “They’d sell a million of them!”
We all burst out laughing at the inappropriateness of the idea, and then my daughter nodded thoughtfully. “This is why we should never run a toy company.”
You think?
