In the News: Maybe Not So Good Things

Two examples of what not to do in the news lately.

1) Do not invite 14 year old girls to a party and suggest they wear bikini tops. ("Bikini parties draw ire," by Melissa Busch, PhillyBurbs, 6/14). Even if your stated rationale is to charge people a $10 entrance fee, remember that parents tend to frown on such things.

2) Things posted on the Internet can be read by anyone with access to a computer. And they never ever really go away. And, yes, it can affect your job. No matter how many times the media and blogs report on people who are fired for what they post online someone new comes along who is shocked to find this out. The latest "learn the hard way" case is an employee of a state senator who wrote some hard core comments on a Lehigh Valley blog. ("Lawmaker's aide quits over blog," Inquirer 6/14)

I like the brilliant comment by the law enforcement officer ....
“It's not a crime to have a teen dance party or to tell girls to wear bikinis,” Stephens said. “But it could have been a potentially dangerous situation.”
