Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!

I take it the person who made this thought it was clever and not a cliche?

i see i am not the only one who found the distasteful and unfunny.
Posted by: LaserSpawn | Wednesday, October 03, 2012 at 12:15 PM
because that's not incredibly offensive.
joke fail.

I like how offended people are over this.
"Oh, be tolerant!"
Fuck that. In the worst places these damn drapes are enforced, if a woman is caught in the street without one, or showing "too much skin", she's beaten and raped in the streets. If you think this doesn't happen, do some more research, if you can read this, you can google.
I'm not being tolerant of rampant sexism. In many places, woman don't CHOOSE the wear these, they HAVE to.
So yes. This is really fucking funny because it's so sad in real life. And if you don't understand how terrible these burkas are for woman, you're rather idiotic. There IS such a thing as being TOO tolerant.

Oh fuck you guys, it's funny.

I don't know. I look at it as a comparison of cultures. Both are misogynistic in their own right.

Shlalg, if something is made is bad taste, I will say so. Now if I am offended by something, I will let you know.
I would say the same thing to a "joke" about American women being in the kitchen, barefoot, and making a man sandwiches.

Wow.
"So yes. This is really fucking funny because it's so sad in real life. And if you don't understand how terrible these burkas are for woman, you're rather idiotic. There IS such a thing as being TOO tolerant."
Seriously? You think it's "really fucking funny" because it's so sad in real life? Nobody denies that in SOME places women are forced to wear these. But to find it funny when you admit that "well if they didn't wear them they'd be raped and killed" and oh haha it's just so damn funny because it's sad is even more offensive I'd say.

This is dumb and not funny. Also, off topic. I get enough of this kind of crap on facebook.

I'm sorry, I do find the humor in it but then again I'm a bad person. And it's on here because it's a funny SALES AD (y'know, Sales...Retail...) so everyone please learn how to click the link to the next page and calm down.

So....lemme get this straight, you think that people who don't find this funny are tolerant of rapists, of forced cultural standards? On the contrary, it's because we DON'T tolerate the extreme manifestations of these requirements that we find it sickening.
Some women wear a burka by choice, some don't.
The ones who are forced to against their will, how is that funny, how do you find torture funny?
Evidently you've never known ANYONE who has been raped or tortured. If you find it funny, you have no idea what it is like. If you mistake laughing at a reference to torture as an expression of compassion, you are not even human.
Lets put a picture of a gas chamber up with a picture of a human trussed up like a thanksgiving turkey and claim we're expressing compassion for the holocaust victims while we're at it. Same difference.

I hope that wasn't aimed at me, because you're sorely mistaken about the "never known ANYONE who has been raped or tortured".

Wow that escalated quickly.

Safe to say that if you can't see the humour in this then you are an uptight moron.
