FrameMaker issue

All:

An invitation from Adobe Australia to attend an all-day demo of Adobe tools
publication dropped into my letter box on Friday. During the seminar, the
demonstrator will go through the complete workflow from graphics to layout
to produce a publication.

The invitation is in a postcard format with a large photograph on the front
purporting to be a police line-up of graphics-design types.  Elsewhere the
card uses 'arresting design', 'captive audience', 'restrain', 'break-out',
'incriminating', and other cheesy crime-oriented vocabulary to reinforce
the 'Arresting Design' theme.

Of the five suspects in the line-up, not one is a woman.  Does this mean

(a) Women do not commit crime.
(b) Adobe does not commit crime.
(c) Women who commit crime are never graphic designers.
(d) Women graphic designers have too much work to find the time to commit
crime.
(e) Adobe does not want to sell Photoshop, Go Live, In Design, and
Illustrator to women.
(f) Adobe does not want prissy, up-tight women attending the hard-drinking,
foul-mouthed, bucks-night, dope-smoking, mainlining seminar and spoiling
all the fun for the boyos.
(g) Clueless Adobe does not understand 'equal opportunity' and was asleep
when the feminist revolution occurred.
