6 months to investigate this? How about 6 hours. They should sack the the folks seeking the discharge. He did not even say a racial slur. Holy crap, and people make fun of America being to sensitive. This has to be making people in Britain upset. Most Brits Ive met seem way more sensible than this.

It's monkeyfucking horseshit of the limburger variety. The people responsible for sacking him should be let go without compensation
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

The thing that puzzles me is why the three Muslims who overheard him would be offended. If you're a Muslim in the West, I would imagine that Osama bin Laden has done more to fuck up your life than he has most of your neighbors.

The heck? If we started firing people for making insulting remarks about Bin Laden over here, we'd loose half the work force!

That makes no sense at all. I can't even see what part of the statement was insulting. If I'm missing something (really missing, not just the "he said bin Laden" crap) please fill me in.

Oh, I get it! It's because all Muslims are disciples of bin Laden, so we shouldn't say anything bad about him because it might offend them... :roll:

This is truly bizarre. If the person in question were to criticise his government, or Tony Blair, no-one would give a shit. But then he insults his nation's enemy, and suddenly he get's fired?

And why? Because three muslims were present. Who cares. If these muslims were offended then that would be more telling, would it not?
Some Dumbfuck wrote:"I am not sure whether Mr Rose saw the visitors," the prison's assistant governor, Andrew Rogers, told the hearing in the city of Norwich, eastern England.

He added: "I took offence at the comment. If the visitors had heard the comment, they might have taken offence too."
:lol: That's fucking brilliant. Not only were the visitors unaware of the guy's comment, they haven't even passed judegement on him. What's worse, Dumbfuck Rogers assumed the visitors would be offended.

This is bullshit. I hope the guy gets an unfair dismissal lawsuit shoved up his arse. Either that, or MI5 visits Mr. Andrew I-get-offended-easily-for-some-stupid-reason Rogers at 2am, and asks why he should be offended that Uncle Osama was slighted.

Ah, Norwich city, Norfolk. Surrounded and populated by arable land farmers, I'm surprised there's a brain cell to share down there.

They don't have a written consitution like we do, as I understand. And European free speech isn't the real thing.

Why the hell would insulting a guy wanted dead or alive for an atrocity like September 11th result in a firing? That's ludicrous if you ask me.
