Sexual harassment.

Yeah, so, like...it's bad.

You are all probably asking yourselves how I know this. Well let me tell you how I know this: I watched a sexual harassment video at work today. BEST SEXUAL HARASSMENT VIDEO EVER. Actually, not really. I've watched two others that are far superior to the crap I watched today. It was filmed in 1994, I think. You can totally tell by the way people are dressed, and by how they act so gay.

I can't really tell you what I learned from this (very short) film. Other than sexual harassment is illegal. Oh, and that sexual harassment only seems to happen to people with stupid-looking hair. At least, all the women in this film who were being harassed had REALLY bad hair. But we are talking about the early '90s here, so I guess that is fairly accurate. However, what really bugged me about this film was that every single sexual harassment scenario involved a male co-worker asking out a female co-worker on a date. There was no ass-grabbing, no titty-grabbing. No grabbing of any body part, actually. Well, except for arms. So you can imagine how much of a let-down that was. So the whole movie was like this:

Narrator: Sexual harassment is illegal. Let's look at an example of sexual harassment in the workplace.

[Cut to a workplace scene.]

Bob [walking up to Sandy in the hallway]: Hey Sandy. Wanna go out with me on Saturday? We can discuss business over dinner.

Sandy: No, Bob. That would not be a good idea.

Bob: Okay, Sandy. Maybe some other time. [walks off]

Bob and Sandy's boss [walking over to Sandy in the hallway]: Sandy, I see you are having a sexual harassment problem with Bob. Come into my office and we will discuss this.

Sandy [visibly shaken]: Yeah. Okay.

[end of scenario]


NARRATOR:
Now, let's take another look at an example of sexual harassment in the workplace.

[Cut to yet another workplace scene]

Jack: Hey Mary, there's some business we need to discuss. Let's discuss it at my beach house this weekend.

Mary: No! I don't want to date a co-worker. It would make me feel uncomfortable.

Jack: Oh. Okay.

NARRATOR: Remember, if somebody is sexually harassing YOU, tell on them and they will get into trouble. Thank you for watching.

[end of tape]


I have never felt so unsatisfied by a movie before.

Well, Nathaniel...seeing as though we are co-workers, I really don't think that would be appropriate.

Wait. You have a beach house? Sweet!
