Ars writes an entire article purportedly about the picture, yet they don't even have the picture.
You know the awards/achievements that seem to be included in every single game these days? I completely ignore those.

Other people are saying the joke is sexist, I'm saying it's not. That's all.
Consequently, something a women would say in bed is more likely to crop up in general conversation than something a guy would say in bed.
I really don't see this joke as being sexist at all, and it doesn't objectify women. Who cares if a woman might say that in bed? The fact that the woman is the one talking seems to indicate that she is less of a sexual object, not more of one.
2. Brand? What brand? It's a blogging platform. People don't want it because of a brand. They want it because it's a good idea (simplistic blogging).
