I thought Jews had a sense of humor...
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."
suggesting the product be pulled
lol
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.
I think our friend here was loling at "pulled [pork]".
