So I'm sitting at my desk when I notice a link on the msn webpage that catches my eye.  "12 Workplace Phrases You Probably Don't Know, But Should" - hmmm... interesting, I need to know this information, I'd better click the link:  Have a look for yourself:

http://msn.careerbuilder.com/Article/MSN-1917-Workplace-Issues-12-Workplace-Phrases-You-Probably-Dont-Know-But-Should/?cbsid=708c5a9d672d4c99b8b17ccb56b8e19a-298990363-VO-4&sc_extcmp=JS_1917_home1&cbRecursionCnt=2&SiteId=cbmsnhp41917&ArticleID=1917>1=23000

As I'm reading the "must know phrases" it hit me just how ridiculous they all are.  It also hit me that there is a lot of covert racism strewn throughout these corporate buzz words.  All of these phrases/buzz words are guilty, but I'll just point out a few of the more obvious ones here:

Drink the Kool-Aid I feel that this statement is blatantly racist. I bet it's "red" flavored Kool-Aid too, which is definitely racist. Or maybe grape.  Either way, it's wrong.  Why isn't it "Drink the Tang"?  You wanna know why?  It's because only white people drink Tang.  Anyway, I have no idea why drinking Kool-Aid correlates to following blindly or being brainwashed...  I think it goes back to the slave mentality.

 Check it (but don't expect too much):

I would have been highly impressed had there been a cow floating around in there, but when you get to the money shot, all you see is a light bouncing around on the top of the car (although it is cool how it lands right back on the top of the truck because of the magnet). I know you can't expect too much because they're actually inside of a tornado, but I think it's reasonable to ask for a shot a little better than that. I mean, at least deploy DOROTHY.

Check it out, a guy in Florida is suing a strip club after a stripper "permanently injured" him after kicking him without warning.

Geoff, maybe you should have sued after the bloody nose.
