Harrah's = Classy (not!)

An email I received today:




And here's the web page it linked to:



(Notice that which Playmates are promised to appear somehow changed between them sending the email and me clicking on it about two minutes later. Notice also the wonderful headline, "House of Blue Poker Open." As in, y'know, B.B. King sings the blue.)

This is, of course, the same Harrah's corporation that earlier this month introduced had scantily clad young women holding seat number signs as the final nine players in the Main Event were introduced.

This is also the same Harrah's that claims, with a straight face, to hold a special women-only poker tournament in the WSOP because it is trying to make women feel more comfortable about poker.

You figure it out. I can't.

Cognitive dissonance can be cured by only one thing:

Sounds like they have no women working in their marketing department.

Of course they have women there, Mojo. Someone has to make copies and get coffee...
