Court says it's legal to fire an exemplary worker simply because you're attracted to her. [View all]

The state Supreme Court has reaffirmed their earlier decision that an Iowa dentist could legally fire an assistant who had worked for him for 10 years simply because he claimed to fear that her beauty might lead him to stray from his wife. The employee had never flirted or encouraged him in any way, but instead of telling the dentist to shut the fuck up and keep Mr. Happy in his pants, the all-male court said that he was within his rights to fire her.

Un-fucking-believable!
