Slump-busting blowup dolls in the White Sox locker room: offensive?

    OK Should the male bartenders and waiters at the bowling lanes consider that harassment?

    It sounds like you're asking two different questions. It's pointless to say that somebody should or shouldn't be offended by something, because that is up to the individual's threshold or sense of humor, etc. Saying whether or not it constitutes harassment is a legal question that doesn't necessarily rely on the standard of them being offended.

    What a run of sadness the Sun-Times has had lately, involving three of the finest people in our business -- Terry Armour's fatal heart attack, Missy Isaacson's piece about her parents' Alzheimers, and now Lacy with, incredibly, brain cancer, congestive heart failure and prostate cancer. I'm praying that Lacy's story will have a positive ending.

    Armour worked for the Trib; Isaacson still does.

    Care to elaborate or fear of outing?

    I've gotta say -- I don't have a huge problem with this. We are in their workplace.

    And, it's reactions like these that will soon have North American dressing rooms closed to the media, with an Olympics-style media zone instead.

    Elliotte, you raise a very good point.
    But in your office, you'd never do that because others may come in. It's common sense. They know others will walk through there, they cannot take a "screw 'em, it's our house" attitude. Especially if it's the group that will scrutinize and tell the public that this goes on.

    Eh, it's much ado about nothing. It wasn't a good idea to present publically, but it wasn't anything to get in a bunch about. I'm sure they wouldn't have done that at home, with more home cameras, female reporters, etc.
