That is not a look alike, that is Obama and his Muslim family! I knew it!

Burger King's F#*# You Leads to Firings
Quote:
A profanity laced receipt leads to a firing at a NorCal Burger King.
This receipt should have said a simple "thank you." Burger King corporate stepped in and fired two of its employees after a drive through receipt with some choice words made it on national television.

Sacramento resident Francisco Perez told KCRA TV after ordering food at the Sacramento restaurant, he noticed his receipt read "f--- you" in the area that would normally say "thank you." The four-letter profanity was spelled out not once, but twice.

One day after that story aired, a Burger King manager and an employee have been let go according to a company statement released Wednesday.

"Burger King Corp. (BKC) and the franchisee that owns and operates this restaurant deeply regret that this incident occurred," Burger King's Denise T. Wilson wrote. "The franchisee has taken immediate corrective action and both the manager and employee are being terminated. The franchisee will be reaching out to the guest directly."

Here's the latest on Zen's story:

Quote:
AURORA, Colo. -- Police have determined that the bizarre shooting at the shooting range on Monday was not a shootout or a failed murder-suicide but a suicide pact.

"Members of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Investigation Service Area have now met with the surviving sister, who has confirmed that they had planned to commit suicide together, and did in fact shoot themselves," the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office said Thursday afternoon...

Maybe not so weird, but shows incredibly poor judgment. A DC Metro commuter climbs up an out of service escalator (an every day occurrence here) only to find that at the top of the escalator, it is under maintenance and several of the steps have been removed to expose the machinery underneath. There is a huge hole in the floor, with only some grease covered axles spaced every couple of feet. Instead of turning around and walking back down the stairs to use the adjacent broken escalator, this moron and a handful of other passengers decide to step from grease covered axle to grease covered axle to get across the pit. Then they blame Metro for their "terrifying" experience crossing the pit and go to the paper, which publishes a sympathetic article about them. Fucking morons.

They risked serious injury just to save about a minute of trudging back down the stairs and going back up the other side.

Metro was supposed to barricade the bottom of the escalator like they normally do, but for some reason that barricade had been pushed aside.

Glatt - total agree.
If you find yourself confronted by a potentially life-threatening situation in a commuter setting, you've taken the wrong turn! Warning signs and diversions go to buggery - go back down and make sure no-one else comes this way.

And yes, I've been a commuter and I know the frustration of delays. But sorry - if you risk your life, don't blame anyone else. Unless there is a specific sign which reads "The only way out is to step across these greasy supports with an unseen drop onto gears and spokes and other spiky things. Where we keep a crocodile from the sewers. Nom nom nom." Then you can sue.

Yeah, I think people like that should be led out of the court room via a dedicated exit into an area reserved for getting a beatdown for wasting taxpayer's time and money. That could be added to "loser pays" frivolous lawsuits.

So she messed up one word. Big fuckin deal.

That shows nothing.

Thankfully she is not a viable candidate, but that video says nothing more than Obama discussing 57 states



then again.........

Here's the one time when I am for the death penalty. The plaintiff and any lawyer(s) willing to represent them should be summarily executed.
