Arts | Television
Editor's Note: Just to clarify, this is not to be taken seriously. Steven is paid fairly and he didn't really quit his job.

I'm assuming they don't pay

I'm assuming they don't pay him as much as the other employees who do the same job. I have that scenario where I work too and the employees I work with who get paid more to do the same job as me are also the same race as me. It's hard to say just by watching this video without any additional information who is at fault here. I really wanted to know her thoughts on the winner of Project Runway. I'll have to stop by and ask her myself.

I'm not saying this kind of thing never happens. I do believe it happens more than people would like to admit but I don't think it was very appropriate to put this in a public forum without showing both sides. It is possible that some of the other folks had an impeccable food service resume or the ability to turn anything they touch into Skittles.

Ummm...

Steven was joking. I can attest that Megan treats her employees fairly.

What?

I don't get this at all. I mean, I get that the guy is joking...but it seems like an inside joke. What am I missing?

What you're missing

What you're missing is...well not much. I get the dry sense of humor and I typically enjoy dry humor but I can only agree. This comes off as "Jackass" deer in headlights humor that can be funny at the presenters cost but is crude otherwise.

I hope you have permission

I hope you have permission from the business owners to use their name and business in a "joke" (what was the funny part again?)

heh, if you /did/ have their permission maybe that comes off even /worse/ for them. "sure! use our business name in a subtle racial humorous video!"

Phew! I thought I was the

Phew! I thought I was the only one who missed the joke. Her reaction to his comment looked real (speechless). I watched it again and still didn't see the joke. Lewis Black is on the tele right now... gotta go!
