If there’s one public service announcement we like to make, it’s “Don’t blog about your job.”
Yet we may need to amend this to include: “Don’t blog about your job – or make stupid posts to public forums.”
Former Boston Herald sports columnist Michael Gee left the paper this spring due to staffing cuts, but soon landed a gig teaching a journalism course at Boston University.
Gee’s a smart guy, so we don’t understand why the hell he felt compelled to post the following on sportsjournalists.com’s forums after his first day: “Of my six students, one (the smartest, wouldn’t you know it?) is incredibly hot. … It was all I could do to remember the other five students.”
BU officials found out about Gee’s remarks and he was let go shortly thereafter. We think Gee confused sportsjournalist.com’s forum with Letters to Penthouse Forum.
