Kotu enter next to pick Tony's mysterious brain. Scott asks why they want a comic book character. Fun-loving Tony claims that Zappos is all about the good times. Tom takes it a step further and asks if it can be funny. Tony nearly looks offended at this rather straightforward, banal question. He deems comedy "not unacceptable." What a weirdo. Tom keeps on with the riff on comedy, and Tony gets the same horrified look on his face he got when Melissa asked about his girlfriend's hair color. SAT problem for you: ____ : funny :: gay : straight? Tom continues babbling, until he claims that some characters are "very... corporate." And bingo, Tom Green! Corporate : funny :: gay : straight. Scott curtails that tangent and asks if anyone else has questions. No one does, so they end.
Meanwhile, Athena gets down to business. Annie points out the flaw that Khloe herself admitted re: Khloe's appointment as PM -- the task is not about retail. A correct observation, yes, but Annie's still an asshole. Brande kicks off the discussion. And by "discussion," I mean chorus of clucking. Seriously, everyone just talks at the same time for, like, 32 hours. Khloe does very little to diffuse the din. Claudia takes this reticence not only as weak leadership but also as a sign of the presence of too many Alpha Bitches on the team. Joan proposes their superhero be -- get ready for it -- a midget. Awesome. Ain't nothin' gonna be better than that, y'all. A couple beats later, everyone puts away their "What the fuck?!" faces and starts clucking again. Claudia THs a nice bookend to that moment, opining, "If I could have one super power, I would SHUT UP my team."
