Every receipt I've ever gotten might have had some stupid little jab like that in it. I wouldn't know, because I don't search them for reasons to be outraged. Then again, it wouldn't be newsworthy if a white guy was insulted, anyway.
Not to excuse the idiot employee or anything, but the communications manager of a journalism organization should not be surprised by what happens when something that has all the hallmarks of a high-readership story breaks.
I would point out that apparently all she did was to post it to her Twitter account (which I'm guessing has her real name on it -- brilliant idea there amirite), but it could well be that she knew that newspaper people were following her account. New Topic: "ProPublica" -- another case of the GenericInnocuousName cancer that is sweeping our nation's corporations and special interest groups? I say yes. I also say pro-POO-blee-Kah because the -a sends me into Spanish mode.
No, they find me quite handily. I go out of my way to avoid stupid shit that annoys me, which is why I rarely go out or interact with people.
How dare she get offended by horrible racisim??!?!? In fact, SHE's the racist because she pointed out the racism. Because racism is just a joke, but pointing out racism is racist!!!!
Dumb move on the clerk's part, but I can't imagine that somebody working for ProPublica was "surprised" that something like this took off once she put it on Twitter.
Eh. I liked the Old Dominos better, to be honest. Spicing up the crust pissed me off. But I don't eat from them, either. You want a good pizza? Get in your car. Drive until you see a sign that says "PIZZA". That's it. Just "PIZZA" Nothing else. That simple. You'll be like "well, who makes it?" People who know how to make good pizza, that's who. You're welcome.
So, will the next Dominos ad have "hungry eyes", but changed to "chinky eyes"? ...or, d'ya think M&Ms still has that song licensed?
And oh, yeah, right! Their ads say to mail them a photo if you get a shitty pizza, and they'll put it in the next ad, and apologize, and shit... So...does the "chinky eyes", receipt count? Will that little chef dude bawl, and commit hari-kari y'think?
Lady Chunky Thighs Lady Shake n' Fries Lady Super Size man, I see an avalanch of parody in this situation.
I've been meaning to cook you, Chop suey with rice on the side, Though my penis is under-sized You are, in my Honda tonight With theeese Chinky Eyes, My sunglasses can't even disguise these, Chinky Eyes I have three degrees and take violin on the siiiiiiide.
See, if it'd been Skin, it would have had a racist comment that made no sense. "Lady Spoony Head" or "Lady Pointy Ears" or something. Just for the factor.
