So, the kinds of things I usually see at work are limited to the below:
Yes, that is Lisa Simpson you see in the fifth monitor. Anyway, that's what I generally see. But on Friday, I needed some delicious snacks to get me through the day. Heading upstairs to the floor with the employee lounge I was shocked to stumble upon Tech Industries' vast, racist conspiracy.
Sure, it looks alright on the surface. A black woman holding a phone. The rest of the poster just says 24/7, At Your Call: Ethics and Compliance Hotline. But look closer and see the truth!
The phone is attached to her; it literally plugs into her liver. We can only speculate that the sign implies you should just go to the nearest black woman with a phone surgically implanted to report something. Not only that, but that they couldn't even trust her with a cordless. Having failed only one graphics and design class, I can tell you that the underlying message here is: "Black people are servants, some of which come with handy tools built in."
It's an outrage, what with this being February and all. I did the only sensible thing... I found the nearest black woman and used her to call the line and complain. Sorted that out straight away. No need to thank me. All in a day's work.

Racism! Intrigue! Commentary!
ReplyDelete...frankly I'm afraid I've shocked you all into a stunned, but respectful silence.
So I just tried this trick....it didn't exactly work out the way you said it would.

ReplyDeleteJohnny's post contained his email address and I didn't know if he was cool with the masses at the Wonder Blog seeing it. So I deleted the comment. Here's what else it said:
ReplyDelete"Hiya, scott. My wife told me something popped up on her laptop from AIM. Sorry I missed you. You're a very good looking man, and honestly, I look up to you as a kind of personal hero. If you want, email me at REDACTED."
Honestly, it said that.

Racism? What about gender discrimination. That poster is like an ad for everything that makes an HR department sweat about, anything that could get them sued anyway. Oh wait, I don;t know how you could BS sexual harassment into that, but I am sure there is a way...
ReplyDeleteBS? Everything I write is solid, well researched fact.
ReplyDelete...but maybe I'll use your suggestion when there's a "Women's History Month."
1. I didn't say what you write was BS. I was saying that sexual harassment wouldn't have the solid material necessary like the aforementioned suits and would therefore need to be BS.
ReplyDelete2. Someone seems a little touchy...reading WAY too much in to my comment. I never expected this from you...
it did. verbatim.
