How 'bout a fatuous one [depending on your mood]? I was, of course, browsing job listings and came across this one:Admiinistrative Assistant
Small, long established, gay-owned, Dupont Circle area CPA firm...
...I don't really qualify, given the requirements, but it struck me as odd to specify "gay-owned" in the listing. Not shocked or anything, just... it never occurred to me that it would be worth mentioning. [Not that it isn't worth mentioning, but TO ME it was something that wouldn't have crossed my mind if I was the one who had to write the listing.]
By contrast:Graphic Designer
We are a small and rapidly growing Republican Direct Mail firm
which is as far as I read before nixing it XB ...I mean, maybe, MAYBE in another era, it could've worked out, but the GOP is batshit loco at the moment. FUCK no.C: "I'm more offended by THAT listing!"
Then again, the specifying "gay-owned" makes perfect sense in retrospect. Might as well flush out the bigots in advance ¬_¬
