A PR executive for a major media company who Tweeted a racist 'joke' on Friday that sparked a social media revolt was unaware she had become front page news because she posted the message while boarding a long-haul flight.
Justine Sacco - the Communications Director for IAC, a parent company for Vimeo, OkCupid, Tinder, CollegeHumor, and Dictionary.com -was flying to Cape Town when she Tweeted: 'Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just Kidding. I'm White!'
The post had been retweeted over 3000 times and was picked up by news sites around the world by the time Sacco landed in Africa.

tbombz takes offence to this >:(
-
Haha yes!
-
And she's in PR too. Should be fired for basic misunderstanding of twitter.
-
That's funny. But, oh well, white people can't make comments like this without getting in trouble. ::)
-
Wonder if anyone would get outraged if a black person posted "Going to America, hope I don't get Cancer!, Just kidding, Im black!"

Wow. What an idiot she is.
How the hell did she think people would react?
I see why someone would find it funny, but I personally think it's really lame. I don't find it offensive however; just incredibly lame.
She can kiss her job goodbye.
-
Hope she gets promoted
-
Epic dirty room.
wtf is with these bitches and having rooms that look like a tornado went through them?
youre a woman! Clean your house bitch!

Maybe she thought she could hire colored help to clean the room for her?
-
bueatiful girl with humor and an honest heart

fuck those insecure monkeys that can't face the truth

That goes for men too.
It shows laziness and I would be suspect of her personal hygiene.
-
rofl what an idiot
I would FEAST on the corn though :P

Yes, honesty goes a long way.
Great sense of humor as well.
She's a keeper for sure.
-

yes, but not the same. Women have a different standard.
women are supposed to be the housecleaners, in the kitchen, doing the dishes and laundry.
just the way it is.

Oprah Winfrey can say the spread of aids in Africa is because the white man is holding back the cure.....and she is touted as a hero.
It's a joke, a lame joke at that, but this bullshit about losing a job over not being PC is a fucking farce.
-

QFT. More and more pics of these women have them surrounded by a mess.
It makes one assume their pussies smell like wet moss.

She shouldn't lose the job because of the lame joke.
She should lose the job because she is clearly to stupid to realize the consequences of her actions. Whether or not one agrees if it is offensive is not the point; the point is EVERYONE with half a brain KNOWS that some insecure little sissies are going to be offended. How could she not see it coming?
I wouldn't want to employ someone who didn't realize that.
Again...nothing wrong with a lame joke....but know your fucking audience. Twitter is a worldwide thing.
Dumb broad.
-
Lol
-
I think by the time she landed her name had removed from the company website, and was probably on the way to getting shit-canned. What a maroon.

Just how do you think she got to that position? Hot, slob and a drinker.
She will blow her way to the top somewhere else.

I think one of the companies her group represented was a Black dating website, too. She better pucker up. ;D

Another case of "who gives a shit?" ::)

the funny is that they probably all think the same but wont say it out loud.

Before you rant about stupidity, you should learn the difference between "to", "too", and "two".
Might help with making the message credible.

She was stupid for saying this. Not because she does not have the right to, but because she should have been aware of the consequences. Shit, especially working for social media companies.

Oh my....the dreaded "consequences". For once I would like for one of these fuckers to stand up and say "you're goddam right I said that, and I meant it".
Piers Morgan and Anderson Cooper's heads would fucking explode.
-

The only consequences there should be (in a good society not yet tainted) would be her getting a promotion and a raise.

Moron! Think before you tweet! Good bye 6 figure job!

Who cares about one fucking grammatical error. I'm sure I have some sort of typo in every post I type. I don't double check.
What you don't realize is that there is a world outside of Getbig. Believe it or not MOST people don't think the way your typical Getbigger thinks. I imagine the majority of society would consider us here at Getbig, a bunch of degenerates.

She shouldn't have lent her password to Runningmom....

I'm on the fence about this one.

^^^^This.
Agree 100%. But do you really think she didn't know what she was doing? It's not like she made an elusive comment on an elusive site. She was very pedestrian with her message, and in a global way. She had to have known what she was doing. No one is that stupid, are they?
Her career in PR is over, unless she was going after that unique niche of working PR for the neo-nazi foundation. In which case, tip of the hat for having a vision for where she wants to take her career. That's commitment! ;D
-
She's a keeper for sure.
she a fucking slob and probably smells like butt most of the time

Holy fuck.....does all of Canada have Down's Syndrome?

Steve Martin (the actor) had a gem yesterday when someone asked him about " lasonia" I'll see if I can post the link...

My experience... yes.

She maybe joking, but fucking Africa has had this Aids epidemic for some time now.....some white lady who used to work for some health department office in Baltimore went to Nigeria on an assignment and I heard that bitch slept with some local dude overthere, unprotected, and a couple months later, she found out she's HIV+......now, that's what I call a dumb ass bitch.......

yes, serve her right
-
HFF, Chaos and Kwon:
I never stated that the consequences were right or just or that she should have been fired. I just stated that when someone says something like that, especially in the 21st century, its inevitable that there will be consequences. Its the society we live in. Given her occupation, you think she would have been more cautions.
-
Well, she is an interesting character!

-
She's acting trashy now.
Taking it to the next level to show "how sorry she isn't"......really playing it up. ::)
My god what a classless society we have become.
Social networking is one big fucking joke. :-\
-
Whoopsy daisy!
In her defence though, she did say she was joking. She could have also went with "with all due respect" and it wouldn't have been so offensive.
