Organisers of Wellington technology conference Webstock have apologised after a speaker made the event's sign language interpreter repeatedly sign the term for a sexual act. Webstock shared an apology on its website yesterday that explained the offensive joke. "This was compounded by the repetition of the term for the act, with the intent of having the sign language interpreter on stage, Jenn, sign it. I sincerely apologize to NZSL interpreter, Jenn Glibert. tbh that was super gross and shaming that Sagmeister just got the sign language woman to action blowjobs.
