STLtoday.com, the website for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, runs a light-hearted piece “Talk Of The Day.” On November 13th, 2009 the Dispatch posts a topic called, “What is the strangest thing that you’ve ever eaten.”
Kurt Greenbaum, Director of Social Media for STLtoday.com, notices a rather offensive comment. The comment is deleted but appears again. What was the comment? A version of the word kitty usually used to describe a particular female body part. I’m sure that Kurt had better things to do but with commenter having left this comment twice, he chose to investigate.
Mr. Greenbaum discovers that the IP address is from a local school. He proceeds to contact the school, thinking it’s a student. As it turns out it was an employee of the school. The headmaster confronted the employee, who resigned on the spot.
People are pissed at Kurt Greenbaum for his actions? This employee’s place of employment was a school! Plus the former employee was “playing” versus doing their job! The overall U.S. National Unemployment rate is at 10.5%, maybe this person should have been concentrating on their job and maybe they’d still have one.
To all of those whom are angry with Mr. Greenbaum and currently unemployed, there’s a job opening at a school. ;-)
