I really fucking hate the children and morons who give people who do these things their popularity.

YouTube should fire those two!

It's hilarious that Youtube demonatizes videos that use too much swearing or for other ridiculous reasons. But you can literally pretend to be an executive at a major corporation walking around firing people and that is deemed "worthy" by the big wigs behind Youtube.

They have obscenity rules, not asshattery policies.

Yep. Some folk will do anything for attention and others are more than happy to give them said attention.

It looks like a lot of people have turned on this woman since this prank, all over her current Youtube videos are people just piling on against her calling her all sorts of things.

working at wal-mart is shitty enough without people making prank videos like this, or staying 24 hours in a store overnight/making forts, jumping in ball pits etc etc. for internet points. So yeah, I say fuck this person.

However some prank videos are fun, where staff isnt annoyed and its harmless fun, like that guy who goes around putting pickles in unsuspecting peoples pockets.

Well the main reason this blew up in the news is she fired an older lady who's husband just had quadruple bypass heart surgery. Other reports say the older lady was the sole breadwinner of the family now as her husband recovers, and they rely on the health insurance partly from Wal-Mart to ease the bills somewhat. So when she fired that woman she broke into tears and was devastated.

these people need to get their asses beat

No publicity is bad publicity.

They say that but it's not always true, if someone owns a company that manufactures cars and stories come out that their cars burst into flames when involved in very minor collisions. While publicity that is not good publicity I assure you most companies would rather not have that story in the press.

If were thinking of the same guy, Im pretty sure its a hot dog that he places in people's pockets.

Which is a shame, because I find asshattery to be far more offensive and disruptive to society as a whole than obscenity.

Asshattery is how massive business empires have been established for donkeys'. Obscenities have upset aristocrats since day 1.

I work at Walmart, and I don't care what I've done, I'm not going to accept being "fired" by anyone I don't know by sight.

Also, our CEO is a guy. Almost every associate knows this.

These people need to go on an apology tour and hope they don't get 10 million downvotes.

That's just mean. YT really needs to demonetize channels that engage in this kind of shit.

Untrue, since YT recently deleted channels like Alex Jones's on the basis of content rather than just obscenity.
