It seems there was a time when pretty much anyone and anything
could be a punchline.
But in this day and age of political correctness, it can seem as
though the pendulum has swung in the other direction, and that no
one can take a joke anymore.
Not so, according to a recent ruling by the Fair Work Commission
which decided that an employee did not deserve to lose his job
after creating a meme which compared his boss to perhaps the most
notorious ruler in history, Adolf Hitler.
The story so far
The employee, a technician on a BP oil refinery in Western
Australia, was originally sacked after he used a scene from the
film 'Downfall' about the final days of Hitler and Nazi
Germany, to depict his bosses during a tense wage negotiation.
