What A Boob!


Oklahoma state worker in trouble for breasts email
msnbc.com

OKLAHOMA CITY — A state worker is facing disciplinary action after sending an official email to hundreds of people Thursday that contained an off-color term for breasts, the Oklahoma Insurance Department said.

The email was sent as the agency searched for people to honor at a tornado preparedness meeting.

The email with "offensive and unacceptable language" was traced to a staff member who was deeply apologetic, department spokesman Glenn Craven said. The agency did not identify the staffer.

The email stated the Insurance Commissioner's Award would go to "the girl with the biggest" breasts, using a slang term. The agency sent a second "corrected and authorized" email about 20 minutes later saying the award would be given next month to someone who made outstanding contributions to the insurance industry in tornado preparedness.

Sounds like this guy is getting the shaft for just being honest. Sure, he could have gone the PC route and told everyone the award would be given to the biggest contributor to tornado awareness, but when they handed the award to Sandy Big Boobs everyone would have known the score. He just let everyone know the score up front and saved a lot of people time and effort. I think he should be commended.
