- Oh,
French workers, you’re the best. Only you can have the gall to sue your boss
for nearly half a million dollars not for sexual harassment, not for taking
away one of your nine daily smoke breaks and not for failing to have fresh
croissants in the break room, but for giving you work that was “too boring.” Meet
Frederic Desnard, a Frenchman who is suing his bosses for $405,902 and who quit
his job after four years of menial tasks that he called a “descent into hell”
and which left him “depressed, destroyed and ashamed.” It’s not that his claims
are unbelievable or that people can't relate to them; in fact, the problem is
that 75 percent of adults have, at some point in their lives, been able to
relate to them. We’ve all had jobs we’ve hated, working for bosses we despised
and doing jobs below our talent and intelligence levels for too little pay.
We’ve all felt like our job was killing our soul at some point, but none of us
have ever quit and then felt entitled to $406,000 for the experience. According
to Desnard, he was hired as a manager at the Paris-based perfume company but
was gradually stripped of his responsibilities until he felt he “didn’t exist.”
Maybe dude was just not good as his job and that’s why he was allegedly
marginalized, but that’s now how he sees it. “I left for work each day with a
desperate, sinking feeling,” he whined. ““Then when I arrived I would often
break down in tears, but no-one noticed because no one really cared whether I
was there or not. I was left depressed and ashamed of being paid for doing
nothing.” So now you want them to pay you more, again for doing nothing? Nice
scam, bro………
- Celebrities
often have to get used to people throwing unusual items in their general
direction. Typically, though, the person hurling objects is someone of the
opposite sex and they’re chucking something that shows their affection,
obsession or stalker-ish addiction to said famous person. That was not the
scene that played out this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, where the
threesome of Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama and Rickie Fowler were battling
around a rain-soaked course and fighting against gusting winds when they were
the target of an allegedly loving attack by a fan. Seconds after McIlroy hit
his tee shot and Fowler was preparing to tee off on the sixth hole at Quail
Hollow Club, the duo had to dodge a thrown golf ball with an earplug attached
to it - yes, an ear plug. According to Fowler, the ball flew by his left side
and he had no idea what it was until it
stopped rolling. "So random," Fowler said. "The guy tried to say
it was a gift. I don't know why you would give a gift of a golf ball with an
earplug attached to it." A better question is who the hell wears ear plugs
to an also-ran golf tournament, where silence is frequently mandated and no one
is creating decibel levels rivaling those of an airport for any reason. The
idiot fan was quickly escorted from the course by police. "Just it was one
of those things," McIlroy said. "It was a golf ball with an ear plug
stuck on it, so it was sort of strange. Charlotte's finest [police] sorted it
out and got him off the property, thankfully." Neither Fowler nor McIroy
played especially well, with both at least five shots off the lead at the end
of the round………
- Oh,
America’s impending return to greatness. You can see it if you apply lots of
self tanner, style your hair in an ugly-ass pompadour and channel your inner
paranoid, ignorant jingoistic hatemonger. Or you can simply watch the kooks who
support presumptive Republican presidential nominee and world’s tallest Oompa
Loompa Donald Trump. His message of making American great again is clearly
resonating in Asheville, N.C., where a towing service owner named Kenneth Shupe
is showing the sort of values Trump supporters are all about. Shupe was called
out this week to pick up a woman stranded on I-26 in Asheville. When he
arrived, he was preparing to secure and tow her vehicle when a problem arose.
When Shupe spotted Bernie Sanders stickers on the vehicle, sh*t went south in a
hurry. Upon seeing the paraphernalia of the Democartic presidential candidate
known for his attacks on income equality, Shupe informed his would-be customer
that he couldn’t tow her car because she was “obviously a socialist” and
advised her to “call the government” for a tow. "Every business dealing in
recent history with a socialist-minded person I have not gotten paid,"
Shupe said. Really? How many “socialist-minded people” have you dealt with and
furthermore, how do you know that you’ve realized it every time you’ve dealt
with someone who has socialist beliefs? Your dubious sample size and likely
obliviousness to the truth aside, what jumps out here is that Shupe calls
himself a conservative Christian who supports Trump. Yes, because Jesus was all
about ignoring people in need of help, assuming the worst about others and treating
people based on his own narrow beliefs and distrust as opposed to fairness and
kindness. Kelle McWade, the mother of the snubbed motorist, posted an angry message on Facebook after the
incident, in which she wrote, "Trump's motto is 'Make America Great
Again'," McWade said. "And this kind of divisive behavior is not
going to make America great again." If only Trump’s moron minions
understood that truth………
- The
beauty of changing the name of a superhero movie with a nine-figure budget is
that it simply doesn’t matter. These movies have such a colossal built-in
following that based on name value alone, they’re going to do big business
whether they’re good or not and even if they were called “Superhero Movie X.” Thus,
it couldn’t be less important that directors Joe
and Anthony Russo have revealed that the next two Avengers films are to be retitled in order to make their names
more accurate to their relation to one another. The films are currently being
referred to as “Avengers: Infinity War
- Part 1” and Avengers:
Infinity War - Part 2,” but the directors said those monikers will change
because it gives the "misleading" impression that they are closely
connected. "The movies are two very different movies," Joe Russo
said. His brother agreed, saying the titles are misleading and that change is
inevitable. “ "The intention is we will
change it; we just haven't come up with the titles yet. But, yes, we will
change it and, yes, that is a scoop: we will retitle them." The film currently known as Avengers: Infinity War - Part 1,” Anthony Russo added. This duo also
directed the latest Marvel movie, “Captain
America: Civil War,” which opens this weekend and will undoubtedly make
huge loads of cash, just as their 2014 Marvel debut, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” did when it hit theaters around
the world. If comic book characters are appearing on screen and tens of
millions of dollars are spent on special effects, then a name means little and
the fanboys mean everything……..
