Airline sued for nursery rhyme. From CNS news:
A Southwest Airlines flight attendant's use of a popular children's rhyme - "Eenie, meenie, minie, moe" - has resulted in a federal racial discrimination lawsuit against the airline filed by two African American women asking for unspecified financial damages.One of the two women suing over the allegedly offensive nursery rhyme claims hearing the rhyme caused her to be bedridden for three days and suffer from "unexplained memory gaps," according to court documents.
Dammit. I'm going to sue you. Right after reading that post I fell out of my chair and hit my head and now I can't remember my ATM PIN number. And I feel like a nap. Expect to hear from my lawyers by the end of the week.

Posted by: rich on April 17, 2003 12:01 PMGood example of why this world needs some revisions in their ethical policies. When a couple of African Americans can step on a plane, and cry racism to the flight attendants for showing a little humor (not even remotely inspired by racial awareness), and make something of it, you know things are on a one way trip downhill..
