real life has become a Glee outtakes reel

I can't decide if I'm wildly amused or disproportionately outraged by this case. Because, when a decision starts off with an ominous:

Not much good takes place at slumber parties for high school kids, and this case proves the point. [Ed note: dun dun DUN!]

you expect some CRAZY SHIT, right?

It calls to mind of something from a couple years ago. At an old job of mine, there was a guy who had something of an obsessive crush on me. I thought he was largely harmless, so when I was presented with the opportunity to report him to HR, I decided not to. However, after I left that job, he found me on myspace (the social network site of the time) and started being stalk-y.

Well, that's easily remedied, but what was disturbing was his myspace profile. Full of pornish videos, declarations that his dream was to have a threesome with two hot 20-something young girls before his fortieth birthday, statements pertaining to the size of his "big johnson", ruminations that if he paid for dinner on a date he should get some pussy or somesuch. It was all pretty vile. I pointed it out to my friend who still worked at that place (and had just been promoted to HR), not meaning to get him in trouble but more of a, "Whoa, remember when I thought this guy was harmless?"

He didn't get fired for it, but he was brought in by HR and asked to remove the part of his profile that states where he works so as to not associate our association with...that.

Anyway, long story to note that I understand the impetus to disassociate from inappropriate material. (though I think there's a distinct difference between the blatantly misogynistic material on this guy's page and what the girls did, I don't think many people would see the distinction) However, a workplace doing so with a paid employee is quite different from a school district doing it with children they are legally required to educate. I say kudos to the girls and their families for taking it to the courts.
