It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
In today’s news-of-the-absurd, the California Supreme Court ruled that a writer’s assistant for “Friends” was not sexually harassed, as she claimed, when the writers for the show used “sexually coarse and vulgar language” around her. In its unanimous decision, the court found that the comments were made in a “creative workplace” where writers generated scripts for an “adult-oriented comedy show featuring sexual themes.” Amaani Lyle, who was fired after four months as a note taker for the television show, claimed that she was subjected to sexually and racially insensitive comments by the writers and producers. The producers, however, say that she was fired because she couldn’t type fast enough.
You see, Ms. Lyle, when the writers of a successful television show are hurling racial epithets at you and offering you a nickel to tickle their pickle, you got to type that shit quicker.
In other news, porn star Jenna Jameson - who operates a phone sex service at $3.99 a minute - is considering filing a lawsuit against several callers for sexual harassment, claiming that she, too, was subjected to sexually insensitive comments.
