LMAO... woman banker claims she was sacked for being too attractive


By ken 
A female banker claims she was sacked because she was too attractive and proved a distraction to her male managers.

Debrahlee Lorenzana, 33, alleges that she was ordered to stop wearing pencil skirts, fitted business suits, tight trousers and high heels because her appearance was too much for her colleagues at Citibank to bear. She has filed a sex discrimination suit against the bank in New York and is seeking damages for loss of earnings and emotional distress. Miss Lorenzana was hired by Citibank in September 2008 as a $70,000 per year business banker, based in the Chrysler Building. After her interview – to which she wore a black Armani wrap dress and Christian Louboutin heels – she claims a colleague told her that the branch was "pretty much known for hiring pretty girls". 

Within weeks of her arrival, Miss Lorenzana alleged that she was summoned to a meeting with two male managers who pointed to her bottom and told her that her trousers were too tight. Her suit claims that she was given a list of items sh"I honestly couldn't believe it. I was in shock," she said yesterday. "They pulled me aside and told me I could not wear pencil skirts, business suits that were fitted – basically what every woman in New York wears to go to work." e should not wear. 

Miss Lorenzana wrote a letter to the human resources department complaining that other female employees were allowed to wear what they liked "because they were short, overweight and they didn't draw much attention, but since I was five foot six, 125 pounds, with a figure, it wasn't 'appropriate'". 
Miss Lorenzana said she yearned to be uglier. "If being less good-looking means being happy and finding love and not being sexually harassed and having a job where no one bothers you and no one questions you because of your looks then, definitely, I'd want that. I think of that every day." 
Meanwhile a Citibank spokesman had this to say: "We believe this lawsuit is without merit and we will defend against it vigorously. We do not condone or tolerate discrimination within our business for any reason." 
Wow: She is pretty indeed but if the allegation is true, then Citibank has erred. Damn

Duchess of York faces US backlash following Oprah appearance

By ken
The Duchess of York (remember her?) is facing a US backlash after her "confessional" interview with Oprah Winfrey after she was out in a sting operation in which she offered access to the Duke of York.
The New York Times TV reviewer mocked the duchess, 50, for what she called the "ritual of repentance and renewal that these celebrity makeovers require."
The duchess has made no secret of her plans to relaunch her business career in the US where she says the people are more welcoming than in Britain.
But by talking in the third person she appeared to annoy many people as did her evasive answers to question fired at her by Winfrey.
Judging by some of the comments posted online she faces an uphill battle to win them over.
caught out in a sting operation in which she offered access to the Duke of York.
Duchess of York? Never shy of problems.

Xdiculous!!!!! Cage fighter 'ripped out heart of training partner'


Jarrod Wyatt also cut out his friend's tongue and ripped off most of his face in a brutal assault that police said looked like a scene from a horror film.
They found the 26 year old standing naked over his friend's body with body parts, including an eyeball, strewn around the blood splattered room.
Wyatt told police he had drunk a cup of tea spiked with hallucinogenic mushrooms and became convinced his close friend Taylor Powell was possessed
According to an autopsy Powell,21, bled to death after his heart was ripped out.
The coroner said Powell had been alive when the organ was ripped out after his chest had been sliced open with a knife.
Wyatt told the police he thrown the heart into a fire along with other organs that he had removed from the body.
He told investigators he cooked the body parts because he was fearful Powell was still alive and he "needed to stop the Devil."
Police had been called to the grisly scene after a third friend had witnessed a sudden mood change in Wyatt after they had all ingested wild mushroom tea.
Justin Davis told police he returned to the flat in Klamath, California, to find Wyatt naked and covered from head to toe in blood.
He noticed an eyeball lying in the middle of the floor and saw Powell's mutilated body.

Please can someone tell me that this beast is already in jail. Damn
