Outrage?

There was far too much entertainment value in her very public doom to leave room for outrage.

But what about the 1st amendment?

I thought it was OK to say what ever you want with no ramifications?

Another idiot falls victim to their own verbal diarrhea.

Where in the 1st amendment does it say that?

It's addressed in the recently added Phil Robertson revision.

The 1st amendment DOES NOT guarantee your right to keep your job if you make a complete a** out of yourself. That's "right to work" capitalism and at-will employment, biiyatch.

That woman's family are white South Africans who fled after democracy rolled into town but still rake in many millions of dollars in mining operations in the country's north. There is absolutely no reason to pity her whatsoever. Not only is she rich as all hell but she should have known better than to post such a ridiculous statement. There are white South Africans living with HIV/AIDS. I'm sure they didn't take kindly to such nonsense.

People need to grow thicker hides. I hope I didn't offend anybody by saying that.

I don't need a thicker hide. I keep mine in the garage downstairs.

In other words, Book burnings are now a legit form of reaction to thoughts, beliefs or humor (as was this case)... you don't like..... provided they are not public books.

Cool.

i'm guessing there's no outrage because ####### cares? people say stupid stuff every day. i would think that's doubly sure for pr executives..

[OnMyWayID 1,489]

I would have fired her.. A PR executive says something that stupid... in a tweet? Not exactly new media savvy... She already has proven she is too stupid to have that job.. And then she is even crazy enough to admit it? The next tweet should have been "I am so sorry! I left my computer on and somebody walked into my office and typed something so horrible!"

What are they teaching them in the PR schools these days?
