Graphic Designer Fired After Heckling Bush

"Please stay in the free speech zone.":

Interesting article, guy acts a fool at a Republican political rally, hooray for free speech.

The kicker is that the guy's workplace had been provided tickets by a client who was soon not-so-amused with this dude's antics, blah blah blah, guy gets fired/pwnd/served.

"I was told that my actions reflected badly on the company and that a client was upset," Glen Hiller of Berkeley Springs said.

Ok, as much as I sympathize with this guy getting thrown under the bus, how smart do you have to be to not pull that kind of stunt when it is obviously connected to work? That's called 'asking to be fired.' Sure, he has every right to speak his mind, but how about being a little smarter about it?

I hope those martyr steaks taste good.

Anyway, I thought this snippet at the bottom of the article was interesting and/or a bit disturbing:

"Last month, Charleston City Council apologized to two protesters arrested for wearing anti-Bush T-shirts to the president's July 4 rally. The pair were taken from the event in restraints after revealing T-shirts with Bush's name crossed out on the front and the words 'Love America, Hate Bush' on the back. Trespassing charges were ultimately dismissed. "

Tell me what you think in the comments if you want, I'm easy to amuse.
