IRT got Texan fired.
Minibar in Austin, Texas, has found itself in the middle of a domestic violence controversy after an employee posted a sign outside the bar that read, "I like my beer like I like my violence: domestic."
"After Austin resident Seetha Kulandaisamy shared a picture of the sign on Facebook and Instagram, the post grabbed national attention.
"I walked by the sign on Friday night, and my first response was just anger," Kulandaisamy said. "I currently am a volunteer at the women's shelter in Austin, so my sensitivity is extra high, but I think my reaction would have been the same regardless. Not only was it offensive, but it was also just bad humor."
Minibar removed the sign the following morning and fired the employee responsible for posting the sign.
"Minibar doesn't condone that sign," owner Alex Elmiger said. "I give my utmost apology and assure it won't happen again. As soon as it was brought to my attention, I wanted to do something to rectify the situation."
Minibar plans to donate $1 of every domestic beer sold in the month of October to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, in recognition of domestic violence awareness month."

The offense.
   

The offended.

She's hot. Smile on the left, playful on the right.

Whether you find it funny or not the sign is humorous, there's a difference.

RE: IRT got Texan fired.
Wtf???? Now this is disturbing and disgusting. Theres nothing you can say or do nowadays in the anglosphere countries before some entitled clown or feminazi cunt or faggot feels offended by things that are none of their business!

One of the things I really love about the 3rd world countries is that you still enjoy freedom to do what you please, say or post as a biz.

The way things are going in the so called first world countries is simply tragic.

She doesn't even have a job....she's an intern and volunteers.

She should try getting a job first and contributing to society before opening her mouf.

RE: IRT got Texan fired.
Why are these feminists so vindoctive? As far as i can tell, their default mode whenever someone says or does something they dont like is to destroy their livelihood.

Is "i dont really like that person, but i don't want to destroy their life." something only men think?

The sign was in bad taste, but it's not something you fire someone over for.

But maybe the employee was deliberately trolling in order to get fired...

This is like the Pax Dickinson case.

You can be provocative, but don't be surprised when you receive the full brunt of public outrage.

Try putting a holocaust joke on a beer sign and see the response. Yeah you're going to probably find yourself out of a job.

If you believe you have a genuine statement to make beneath the frat-boy humor, take the social consequences like a man and use it as an opportunity to educate the public.

Businesses that put themselves out there like this should follow through with it. They gain nothing by playing the game and apologizing. Even when an angry mob shows up outside, just provoke them even further, like with a sign that says, "Thirsty from protesting in the Texas sun? Come have a domestic brew!"

I'm sure something more clever can be thought up...

Jokes about domestic violence are only funny when they appear on Jezebel.

This piece was penned by Jezebel high-up Tracie Egan Morrissey

http://jezebel.com/294383/have-you-ever-...uh-we-have

Have You Ever Beat Up A Boyfriend? Cause, Uh, We Have


Psychiatry News has a piece out this month about how men shouldn't be overlooked as victims of domestic violence, saying that:

Quote:Women are doing virtually everything these days that men are—working as doctors, lawyers, and rocket scientists; flying helicopters in combat; riding horses in the Kentucky Derby. And physically assaulting their spouses or partners

According to a study of relationships that engage in nonreciprocal violence, a whopping 70% are perpetrated by women. So basically that means that girls are beating up their BFs and husbands and the dudes aren't fighting back. With Amy Winehouse busting open a can of whupass on her husband last week, we decided to conduct an informal survey of the Jezebels to see who's gotten violent with their men. After reviewing the answers, let's just say that it'd be wise to never ever fuck with us.

One Jezebel got into it with a dude while they were breaking up, while another Jez went nuts on her guy and began violently shoving him. One of your editors heard her boyfriend flirting on the phone with another girl, so she slapped the phone out of his hands and hit him in the face and neck... "partially open handed." Another editor slapped a guy when "he told me he thought he had breast cancer." (Okay, that one made us laugh really hard.) And lastly, one Jez punched a steady in the face and broke his glasses. He had discovered a sex story she was writing about another dude on her laptop, so he picked it up and threw it. And that's when she socked him. He was, uh, totally asking for it.
