Perusing the menu in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• An Indiana restaurant that erected billboards making references to the 1978 Jonestown cult massacre (pictured above) decided to take down the signs after receiving complaints that the message was offensive and insensitive. However, customers can get a great meal deal at the restaurant through the equally offensive Groupon.
• Rush Limbaugh dissed First Lady Michelle Obama for eating short ribs during her trip to Colorado, insisting the meal contradicted her promotion of nutrition and exercise. “The problem is, and dare I say this, it doesn’t look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary, dietary advice,” said Limbaugh. “And then we hear that she’s out eating ribs at 1,500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat per serving … I’m trying to say that our First Lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue or of a woman Alex Rodriguez might date every six months or what have you.” Would someone please serve the obese former drug addict a pitcher of cyanide-laced Kool-Aid?
The Indiana restaurant handled the PR crisis rather well, apologizing and pulling back the ad. Limbaugh, however, was not as gracious.
