This is not going to go down well.

Yeah, saw this on @PSX_Defector 's Facebook and read through it. OMG! It is such an insult to real IT people and people who are actually "computer engineers". That book is just downright offensive. It only further perpetuates keeping girls out of IT!

I like this one. Maybe he is unplugging the monitor because it is plugged into a Sega Saturn and not a computer.

I think I found the primary issue here. What the heck are you guys doing reading Barbie books? Get a life, man! Is that what you do in your spare time, when you're not watching "ABBA" musicals? Sheesh.
