Man, I though it was gonna be a lot tamer than this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0v7rFSUrGE :lol:

I get what you're sayin' but I don't think this particular instance is really support for the idea that some aren't comfortable with the topic being taught to kids. There's some other layers at play here. :p But yeah, I have to agree - our culture isn't ready. We're still terrified of nudity...

Sure, but not quite the same as myriad other things - depending upon the company and what it does, of course. I don't think Google needs a lot of PR work. I'm not really for or against it - which is why I created this thread. It got me thinking, is all, and I wanted to see how other people...

Yes, to some. Would you rather your body fail or your mind? I've seen what Alzheimer's does and, uhh, no thanks.

Yes, a reduced chance of Alzheimer's is certainly a laughable bonus.

It's different in the fact that it has no bearing on the company's operations. This isn't deciding how to best set compensation guidelines or which vendor to use for whatever upcoming project there may be, it's simply statement - something one could argue that a corporation has no business...

I'm pretty sure that the prevalence of STDs throughout history is a decent indicator of just how monogamous we tend to be.

Both times I've had it I had it first.

The worst part is that managing Muzak's output was one of my tasks in my previous role. In short, it's a lot my fault that the music is what it is. That said, it's the best it can possibly be. Luckily, where I sit now the guys have chosen to shut the Muzak speakers off. We're not supposed to...

I hate Apple because of how they treat their customers ... which, admittedly, is because most of their customers are moronic fanboys but still. Anyhoo, I have a 4s and when I upgrade it will likely be to a 5s or whatever is newest at the time for one reason: Apple is the only company that makes...

First of all, Louis CK is amazingly insightful and fantastically funny. True story. Second, if you want clean he's totally not your guy. Try Bob Sagat - you know, the guy from Full House. He does a lot of stand up and he's pretty ok. Ok, he's mediocre but he can be funny every now and then...

That pipe thing's not funny, it's just good sense. If you've got some whacko in a cape swingin' a pipe at your bean and you've got a chance to not get hit, well, falling down is a hell of an option. :p

What I think is interesting is that many of the replies so far illustrate exactly why I think this may not be fair to the employees. Everyone is referring to 'the company'. Well, who is 'the company'? Did the mailclerk get to take part in the meeting where the decision to make the statement...

Umm ... dood? There are other laws that protect the kids from molestation (er, that's a lie - laws don't protect people, they're a mechanism for punishing those that don't obey). Look up some child abuse cases in that state. Without looking myself, I'm willing to bet that the vast majority -...

Actually, that's entirely my point: The two behaviors (cheating on a spouse and cheating a business partner) really are two different things. The penalties for cheating a business partner are potentially way, way more severe than cheating on a spouse - up to and including jail time, loss of any...

Linky-dinky First things first: This thread is not for discussion of the statement the doodle was meant to make. We can't talk about that here so forget whether you're pro-rainbow or not. Ok, with that out of the way, here's why I posted this link: How do you feel about corporations taking...

And what about the guy that made a mistake once and would never try to seduce your - or anyone elses' - wife? He should be cast out as well? That's the problem with this. You hurt decent folks out of a selfish and silly fear. You really don't trust your wife enough to spurn another man's...

Too late. Muzak's even greater awfulness has saved me from Wings ... until it plays Wings ... which it won't ... today.

Well then that lesson is wholly bunk. I've cheated yet won't do it again nor do I have any trust issues. What dood is doing - and so is anyone who follows this logic - is taking behavior in one segment of life and applying it to another, different segment. That's silly. A guy who cheats on...

No, Wings is terrible. I know cuz I have ears and now I hate you because that awful, awful song is stuck in my head.
