Is There an English Employment Lawyer in the House? Emma Clarke Just Got Dooced.


Emma Clarke, the voice of the London Underground, was canned this week for the content of her blog. The 36 year-old Briton most famous for saying, "Mind the gap," was fired after she created spoof Tube announcements and uploaded them to her website, including such wonderful fake annoucements as:
* * "We'd like to remind our American tourist friends that you are almost certainly talking too loud."
* * "Would the passenger in the red shirt pretending to read a paper, but is actually staring at that woman's chest, please stop? You are not fooling anyone. You filthy pervert!"
* * "Here we are again, crammed into a sweaty tube carriage. And today's Wednesday - only two more days until you can binge drink yourself into a state of denial about the mediocrity of you life. Oh, for Goodness sake, if you're female, smile at the bloke next to you and make his day. He probably hasn't had sex for months."
So much for that British sense of humor...
