Spanked!

Please read the above article and then read this post.

Ok, finished? Good! Can we just say that this provides an in depth understanding of the problems of the "Red States" (i.e. voted for W).

First off, the guy is a pervert who exploits these women to get off on whatever power trip he's got going on. That is undisputed.

But let's look at the whole picture. First off, all employees sign off on a clause that says ""I give Gene permission to bust my behind any way he sees fit."" What? I am no lawyer but I think upon reading this I might give some hesitation to signing it. When does the little voice say "Hey, maybe McDonald's isn't so bad after all. There is no spanking clause there."

And then, when the victims had been spanked, one stayed and finished her day because she didn't have a ride? What?!? You have just gotten a spanking on the job by your boss, but you choose to finish out the day because walking is just beneath you.

Then the other victim stayed on the job for over a year because she was given the ultimatum "either she could be spanked or be fired." Really? You chose the spanking? You work at the Tasty Flavors Sno Biz and you take the spanking over any of the upteen other minimum wage job that can be found along the main street of your hick town? Interesting choice!

But really what hits home to the mentality that we are dealing with is this quote from the local law enforcement officer: Police Sgt. Jay LaMance said the two 19-year-old women likely accepted the spankings instead of leaving immediately because they were "brought up to respect anybody who is an authority figure."

Holy crap, are you serious? The man owns a frickin' sno cone stand in Tennessee. Authority figure, really?

Sgt. LaMance was dangerously close to siding with Mr. Tasty Flavors when defending that the "photos are not sexually explicit," he said. "They are clothed." They of his employees ass! Clothed or not' the shot was of the derriere and that is it. And you elected Bush on the basis of Morality? Come on, Skeeter! I am from the morally bankrupt north and even I know a rose is a rose and a buttock is a buttock, clothed or not.
