..... when some douche bag lawyer got fired over something similar. It was over a coupon he won at a charity event - he and his douche bag lawyer coworkers decided to crucify the donor restaurant because they didn't follow the statute and print the disclaimer/limits on the FRONT of the coupon (the disclaimer was on the back). When the newspaper picked it up the coworkers, like good little weasels, blamed the main instigator and got him fired.

I only hope this d-bag gets the same result.

In my business, I try to avoid "business school" graduates if at all possible. Nothing but trouble. How do I know? When they work it in to the conversation. They can't help it. I used to work with a repig that always wanted to tell me about what he learned in MBA school "you can't tax a business because they will just pass it along to the consumer bla bla bla". My answer: then why don't they quit their bitchin' about taxes and shut the fuck up and pay?
