    I don’t think the comedy bit was what sent it over the edge, it was the pic of him pretending to put his hands on her boobs in a pic while she was sleeping (from a perspective, he wasn’t near her), that was the mistake. I agree, I think they had a fun relationship and he thought it was funny. I also think she didn’t realize her lying would be taken so far. I saw her in shock when he resigned. She’s a useful idiot and a shitty friend/person.

        Are you sure about that? I’ll take your word but then if that’s true, I was a useful idiot too.

          Don’t feel bad. It wasn’t a good taste joke. And what seemed to fly over a ton of people’s heads is she had a flak jacket on. Essentially a physical gag about being protected from creeps.
