See? Now this is a case of marked misuse of a perfect viable weapon. And now we all have to suffer for it.
Because once society succeeds in outlawing the cockslap, only outlaws will beat deserving people about the head and shoulders with their meat maces.
(h/t portly pirate, who read the story and was instantly reminded of yours truly. For some reason)
Man, I’ve quit jobs before because the boss was dick, figuratively. In 2006 unemployment was 4.6%. Who keeps working for a guy like that?
Didn’t read the article, but I have to assume the Viscious Cockslap (*) in question also killed her husband and children, and left the woman paralyzed, with severe mental damage to boot…
Because otherwise, the award seems a tad, you know, excessive. I fail to see how any amount of ‘harassament’ is worth, oh, say, 30 times the wages she’d collect over a 40-year working career.
And this is why we can’t have nice things. Democracy, in this case. A shocking number of people apparently have no compunctions with taking large piles of money from “someone else” (preferably an Evil Rich Bastard), and giving it whomever’s feeling particularly oppressed today, all while thinking it makes them Morally Superior in the process. Buying their way into ‘heaven’ (or the secular equivalent) with someone else’s money.

These rental outfits always strike as seedy.
The court heard how Miss Alford called an internal harassment hotline in May 2006 to report the alleged abuse, but said the complaint was never properly followed up. She added that at some point after the call she was approached by Mr Moore’s supervisor, who confronted her in front of Mr Moore. Moore’s boss was then said to have told him to ‘watch his back’ because of the complaint.
Miss Alford claims that after the confrontation she was denied a promotion for complaining about the alleged assault.
I’m not big on crazy damage awards, nor on spurious harassment claims, but this case seems pretty cut-and-dried. When you’ve got a store manager who is holding down his employees so that he can ejaculate on them, and your corporate response is to ignore the employee’s calls to the hotline and to tell the manager to ‘watch his back,’ I’d say that you’re shit out of luck when it comes to complaining about penalties.
Well Squid, I understand what you’re saying, but I’d like to hear the guys story.
If he held her down and ejaculated on her, the woman should’ve called the cops and had his ass thrown in prison.
Regardless, the company should have to make restitution if they didn’t adequately follow up on a serious complaint, but eight figures?
We are also talking about a rent-to-own clip joint.
Hard for me to muster up any sympathy.
Giggling about the cock-slapping, but no sympathy for Aarons.
I guess that earns me a partial denouncing.
Speaking of cocks, this just in.
Russell Crowe says ‘Circumcision is Barbaric and Stupid”
Also, ““Last of it, if [you] feel it is [your] right 2 cut things off [your] babies please unfollow and f— off,I’ll take attentive parenting over barbarism,” he concluded.”
Hollywood stupid.
“The cockslap heard ’round the world.”
Russell Crow misses all those regretfully missing resources, obviously.
Probably got a ugly turtleneck with a too short waist.
Russell Crowe can fuck a gator in the mouth with a big sheathed cock, for all I care.
— Of course, the best way to stop the barbarism is to allow Muslims to overrun Israel and kill all the Jews. Muslim circumcision is to be forgiven. Because those Arab peoples don’t know any better. Cute li’l Noble savages in their robes and sandals and Semtex belts…
By, you know, going out of business and firing everyone.
I just don’t see that it was Aaron’s Corporate Policy to hold cute young chicks on the ground and jizz on them, and I resent the “we’ll just find the entity with the biggest pockets, and hold them responsible” mindset in these sort of cases. Sure, she has a civil/criminal case against the dude in question, and possibly a civil case against his immediate supervisor… but the entire 1800 store chain?
(Still pissed off that a single unsanitary restaurant in Pittsburgh killed the entire Chi-Chi’s chain. It was one of my favorite places to eat, and I hardly ever got Hepatitis.)
Damages will be reduced on appeal.

There are quarterback names, there are stripper names and now, it seems, there are retail chain HR manager manager names.
“Of course, the best way to stop the barbarism is to allow Muslims to overrun Israel and kill all the Jews.”
My family is not Muslim or Jewish, but all the men, including my kid have endured the terrible trauma of circumcision. As far as I know.
I didn’t know I was supposed to be traumatized until very recently, and hadn’t given the matter any thought at all until the ‘circumcision lowers your risk of AIDs’ stories came out in the ’90’s. If I remember right, there were even efforts to increase the practice in Africa to combat the AIDs epidemic at the time.
I just don’t see how anyone can get upset over someone else’s family traditions, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, or Other, because that’s basically what we’re talking about. Circumcision isn’t stupid, worrying about it is.
Well, unless you have an agenda that is…
Still pissed off that a single unsanitary restaurant in Pittsburgh killed the entire Chi-Chi’s chain.
My plan to buy up all the properties and open a chain of Greek restaurants called “Chi-Chi’s” never went anywhere. If only I’d gotten the partnership with Dos Equis nailed down…
And it can’t be pointed out often enough that many of the same people having a tizzy about snipping off some extraneous skin on a baby (for the CHOICE!), have no qualms about ‘partially’ giving birth to a child (leaving a foot inside, so it’s still legally ‘on base’) and jamming an icepick in its skull.
For the CHOICE!
It’s almost as if it has nothing whatsoever to do with the child, and is just about screwing with the parents. Alas, the “Jew card” is of minimal value in today’s Victim Group Poker rules, 2008 edition.
Sounds like this fellow Moore should consider running as a Democrat for congress; then he could probably get away with such shenanigans.
Maybe Weiner has room in his offices for a fellow perv.
So just figure out a way to do partial birth circumcision.
No worries. I’m sure once the bureaucrats assume control of doctors by the authority of Obamacare, arm them up, maybe a SWAT team, it’ll all get sorted out.
A SWAT team I meant to say.
1900 people earing a salary of 50,000 dollars each had to be put out of work to pay this ludicrous claim.
My mother worked in a maternity hospital for 30 years or so and spent a large chunk of that as the head nurse in the Circ Room. I had no idea she was such a monster.
That’s the scariest sort of monster of them all, Pablo.
Like that Keyser Söze guy, really.
Damn, so how much is a dick tweet worth?
