    She took that awfully personal. Does she have lampshade experience? Seriously, faux outrage is not convincing.

    Not that I want to defend a quite silly exhibition, but there is a very fuzzy reference for non-silliness on security products on exhibitions like this.

      How you can know if her outrage is fake or not?

      I can easily see how she could be offended. In my opinion, it's offensive on its face. Perhaps there's some sort of innocuous meaning that people missed, but I haven't seen such an explanation.
