Google is prejudiced against witches
Sexist slights against the transgendered
By Nick Farrell
Wednesday, 4 November 2009, 11:06 SEARCH OUTFIT GOOGLE has been sued by one of its former employees for doing evil to a witch.

James Bara is suing Google for sexual and religious discrimination in violation of the US Civil Rights Act.

Bara, a practicing Wiccan, allegedly was subjected to a cauldron full of snide remarks from a manager in Google's Atlanta office, Pam Sohn.

He claims that Sohn made numerous jokes about the sexual orientation of a female transgendered employee who joined the company in July 2008.

When Bara told Sohn the remarks were inappropriate, she stopped making them. However then she started to make comments about Bara's religion instead.

8. It might be Google

But it's still Atlanta - sorry southerners, but I'd say the same thing about Cinncy or even about parts of Colorado - the righteous believe it's their duty to persecute and Atlanta is full of the righteous.
