If you live in Canada, you may be familiar with this story as it's been all over the local and national news.
Here in Vancouver, we were asked to deliver this piece of admail, and after viewing only the first page of this 27 page document, we were so horrified and disgusted, that our entire postal station walked out in protest. It couldn't be considered an actual "walk out", as most of us would have been suspended, so we called it a coffee break en masse, and it made a difference.
You don't even need half a brain to determine that this piece of admail is inappropriate. It is SO offensive on so many levels, but my employer takes the stand that it cannot censor their admail business, and are obliged to carry through with delivering this zealot's personal views! For once I wish they would grow some balls, or at least get some standards.
Check out but one of a series of news stories here.
It makes me so ashamed to work for a Corporation that would deem this as just another way to make a buck.
As you can imagine, this story has spread like crazy across the country, and a good thing too, because the general public needs to be aware of this nasty bit of business. I also heard our MP starting to mix it up at the House, so we'll see where this goes.
Apparently there is video footage of me floating around out there, but as of yet, I haven't found it!
stay tuned.......
FIGHT THE POWER!!!!

hmmm....Tonight Keith and I are going to see Richard Dawkins "turn his considerable intellect on religion, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it causes."

Very interesting....I want to see how this will play out.
If it helps, I don't read admail. But yes, it is offensive.
just have all the men kiss all the men and all the women kiss all the women ... while on the job ....
that - or giving management the collective finger - should do the trick ....
The company's not legally obligated to distribute it, right? (sorry Canada, I suck at knowing your laws.)
All I can say is Rock On. Fight The Idiots. Things like that. For real.
