Controversial Work Comics/Pictures
Lately where I work, we've had a rash of drivers who have gone to their doctors with pains in ther wrist, their back, their ass, etc. and have come back with that golden ticket known as the "light duty only" note from their doctor. This means I can't give them any wheelchair passengers, if we're lucky. Sometimes it means they get to stay in dispatch and ignore the office phones ringing while I drive their route, or a road supervisor takes over.
We've had SO MANY of these drivers pull this crap in the past couple months, it drove me to create this comic:
I hung it up, and we all had a great laugh. The next day it was taken down as being "inappropriate or offensive." Management was perfectly within their rights to do so, of course. However this image has been on the wall for the past two months:
I pointed this out, to no avail. It's still up, BTW.
What kind of stuff is allowed at your offices? Is Dilbert ok, but Doonesbury is not? Funny internet pics are fine, but "opinionated" art is not?

In the classroom, you have to be really careful about what you put up. You never know when an administrator might drop in looking for something to bitch about.
The department office is an entirely different story. While something like that Mexifornia driver's license would never fly, we had stuff up on the wall that ripped the students, the administration, the city, the state, the union, everything. Three cheers for tenure.

Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963

Hurrah for tenure! I personally enjoy walking through hallways at my university and reading the comics and posters professors put on their office doors; they give intriguing hints about the professors' personalities, as well as being nice for a few laughs.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

That Mexifornia thing is no surprise. Making racist jabs at Mexicans is a-ok to them, but posting a critique about shoddy business practices is "inappropriate" and "offensive". That's a disgusting amount of hypocrisy.
Anyway, as you can imagine, things are a bit looser where I work, which is a department full of creative people. There's nothing more provocative than my creative edit of a Cracker Jack box (the surprise inside is now a New Jersey driver's license).

The funny thing is, the company I work is very diverse, and has been owned and operated by a black couple since 1975. The Mexifornia thing is over the desk of a hispanic co-worker. I was pissed that my comic wasn't appropriate!Dalton wrote:That Mexifornia thing is no surprise.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Trekdestroyer's mexifornia idea.Dalton wrote:Who are you referring to there, sparky?Redleader34 wrote:Yopu racist bastard... Never speak again!
Which also incidentally sucks. I can laugh at racist humor but that just isn't a very good joke. The once posted in the picture is at least a bit better.

He's Trekdestroyer, he's not exactly known for useful or intelligent posts. I think he needs another ban, but that's just me.Pablo Sanchez wrote:What the fuck is wrong with you?Trekdestroyer wrote:For the whole Mexifornia thing to work it should read like this:

Anyways, when I used to work in a bicycle shop it was pretty much anything goes in the mechanics' area. We had a Trix cereal box where we cut out the rabbit and replaced it with an extra gay picture of Richard Simmons. The caption was "Silly homo, dicks are for chicks". We had something similar to the Mexifornia license except it was directed at Sihks and Somalis. We had a cartoon that made fun of child labour in Asia, a few "Engrish" ones, another about brown people & taxicabs, and quite a few more that I've forgotten.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

I love Dilbert, and read it frequently, but if an employee plastered a Dilbert (or any other) strip on my nice silver-painted walls, I would be pissed.
At that however, staff-created comics (such as what Lord Poe posted) are encouraged, as they naturally stimulate the creative process. But if you tape it, and in the process of removing it, damage the paint job, prepare to die!!!
(that said, the only one around here who actually has damaged the paint job would be myself-I stupidly used an old Pentel marker a few months ago to draw two lines to help me align an objet d'art, and unfortunately, there still is a trace of Magenta on the wall).
Oh, and BTW, TrekDestroyer can go screw himself, with my compliments.

Trekdestroyer, after recalling the last incident with you, I can, by all rights, ban the living fuck out of you. Instead, like a cat, I have chosen to toy with you before the killing stroke. You will be my bitch until I flick you off this board like a booger on my finger. You will not see it coming. You will not know when your time at this place will come to a screeching halt. But like a prisoner on Death Row, you will know that your end here will come soon.
And I will savor every moment of it, because I know that right now you want to do or say anything to appease me. You want to beg, plead and cajole your way out of the banning you so richly deserve.
Know that I could have had you now...but like that special treat for after dinner, I will wait until the time is right to savor it.

I have a feeling it didn't occur to TD that there was someone here named "Pablo Sanchez". That being said, its a really unfunny joke.
