Don't get me wrong, I'm about as right-wing as it gets and I don't give a shit whether he got fired or not. All I'm saying is considering the fact that he didn't use any profanity, wasn't on company time (as far as I know), and didn't really say anything THAT out of line, I'm just surprised he was fired.
That being said, it really does amaze me how many people record themselves doing things like this and committing crimes, etc. It happens so often, and people just don't seem to learn from others' mistakes.

Here we are all paranoid of our Government spying on us and we are doing it to ourselves with acts like this. We basically broadcast to the world on Facebook how we feel, when you end a relationship or are starting your period. We YouTube ourselves doing something we think is witty but ends up making us look like fools and we fail to use the brain to mouth filter when on twitter. J. Edgar Hoover would have a field day with all of the incriminating shit we self-media ourselves doing.
Looks like the UofA states that he no longer works there:

Let's see what happens when everything settles down. I suspect in the long run, it will hurt sales as their brand image will be negatively affected. If it was a publicly traded company and he said something that alienated a significant percentage of the public, he would have been fired. It's a private company, but CEOs should not be taking public stances on political issues no matter what they are.
hno:
So, I'm sure you feel the same way about Amazon CEO announcing that he's donating $2.5 Million to support Gay Marriage in Washington?

Exactly LGBT has no problems with corporations donating money to their side of the cause. But if you donate to the opposing cause they want to throw a tizzy fit. I even heard some people get pissed off that Chick Fil A made all of this money during their Appreciation Day while kids are starving in Africa and shit. As if LGBT has ever given a dime to Sally Struthers.
