And you thought the U.S. was bad....

"New Zealander Vicki Walker, was an accountant with ProCare Health when she was dismissed for sending out an email written in capital letters, bold typefaces and red. Apparently the email is intended to advise staff on how to fill out claim forms. "

What's wrong with this world? Ok, she should not have been using CAPS LOCK. But to lose her job over that?

If the lady was indeed fired, it stands to reason they were looking for a convenient excuse and found it.

But, you can't believe everything you hear from New Zealand... their evening news announced a report confirmed by their local police that actor Jeff Goldblum was killed by falling from a cliff while on a film location there...

Jeff Goldblum was in New York at the time... appearing on the Colbert Report, who then played the New Zealand news broadcast of his death for their audience.

.. actually the idiot who reported that was..., I hate to admit it , Australian, Richard Wilkins - Moron ex MTV host and now a GTV 9 "celebrity" !! :icon_rolleyes:

GTV9 for those outside of Oz, is the lowest common denominator POS broadcaster here, that is loosing the ratings in droves, and will stoop at nothing to try and claw some back.
