Having worked on a number of harassment prevention courses over the last decade, I know that this memo is concerned with what is now called "Hostile Work Environment Sexual Harassment." I guess in 1939 they just called it plain ol' "gross language". An interesting aspect of this memo is the reference to the female workforce in the InBetweening Department. InBetweening, of course, is the process of creating the images between 'keyframes'. Keyframes were created by experienced animators, and the inbetweens were created by 'unskilled' and underpaid workers, usually women. Nowadays inbetweens are created by computers or underpaid Koreans.

From the Duchamp fan page on Facebook. I don't know how the man who prefigured post-modernity by half a century would feel about the internet, let alone Facebook, but I think the pre-programed mini-feed message coupled with this photo is completely awesome...in a Duchampian kinda way.
