MAN LITERALLY TRIPS OVER TIME WARNER'S CABLE, SUES FOR DAMAGES

-YOSH We've heard some funny stuff, and this one only adds to our list. We all trip sometimes because, our cable or satellite service sucks, but literally tripping over them, that's another story. A Louisiana resident Howard Dawes is suing Time Warner Cable for injures he suffered when he tripped over an uncovered cable while visiting a friend at the Creekwood Village Apartments in Beaumont. "The cable was lying uncovered on the ground, and there were no warning signs, nor was the area barricaded or blocked off from public access," the suit said. "This incident caused plaintiff to sustain personal injuries to his neck, right shoulder and knee." Wow. This is all Glenn Britt needs to start his Holidays. A clumsy passerby who was probably distracted by a piece of ass. Oh yeah we've seen it before. He should tell them to throw in like 5 years of free cable too if he's smart. Slow news days are a motherfucker aren't they? Man trips over Time Warner's cable, sues for lack of barricade [STR]

At Bloomberg LP, Gas bags in bulk!

Was Mayor Bloomberg a corporate dick head when he was running his media company? Was he a woman/baby hater who punished his female employees for basically starting a family? Did he really ask a female employee if she was giving her boyfriend good oral sex? Is he giving his girlfriend Dianne Taylor good oral sex or vice versa? A lawsuit filed against the company the mayor founded, alleges the above. Well except the part where we asked if he is giving his girlfriend good oral sex of course. According to the lawsuit filed against Bloomberg LP which the mayor swears he hasn't ran since 2001 but we all know he still secretly runs it through a network of yes-men, the company has a history of demoting or cutting the pay of its female employees who were out on maternity leave. Now this is not a lawsuit any company wants to deal with. So all you corporate dick heads out there, play your cards right and spear yourselves the embarrassment and bad press. Neal Brickman, the lawyer who represented Ms. Garrison, said that he had handled at least 20 discrimination complaints against the company since 1997 and that the culture at Bloomberg L.P. condoned unequal treatment of women and other groups. Many of those complaints were settled out of court, he said. Suit to Scrutinize Bloomberg Era at Firm [NYT]
