First, go and read this. http://www.nypost.com/seven/01282009/news/regionalnews/manhattan/hot_babe_hopes_to_rack_up_152348.htm
Now, a few things. 1) I find this article to be a perfect example of why the New York Post is a crap newspaper. First we have the title. "Hot Babe Hopes to 'Rack Up.'" Wow. They managed to write a crappy, discriminatory title while also fitting a pun about her boobs into it. Second, that's particularly ironic given that the article is about "discrimination." So she doesn't like being told she's too ghetto, but she has no problem being referred to only as a "hot babe" by the press.
2) This paragraph is particular is absolutely ridiculous. "Besides, it had been her dream, she says, to carry plates of the restaurant's signature crispy-chicken lollipops and hung beef while wearing a bikini and sarong." Really? Is a judge really going to buy that?
The article goes on to say, in more brilliantly written prose that "she is now reduced to working at a bikini bar in the Westchester town of Ossining." She's been reduced to that. Because working in an equally seedy bikini restaurant isn't being reduced at all. Nope.
3) Finally, it reports that "she's seeking $500 a day - or $130,000 a year - for every year she could reasonably be expected to have worked there, plus punitive damages that could total more than million dollars." What?! So she's seeking a 6 figure salary from this place for the rest of her life.
Maybe I should stop wasting time at school and try to hit this place up for some cash.
