Extract: Debrahlee Lorenzana is filing a lawsuit against Citibank because they fired her, she says, for the strangest reason: she's too hot.

But cleavage has no place in the workplace.

Sure it does. People who are so immature that they cannot help but make a big deal out of cleavage in the workplace have no place in the workplace. Honestly . . . if you "can't get your work done" because you're so wrapped up in creepy-stalking a good-looking person at your workplace, you should really have a come-to-Jesus talk with yourself about growing up.

If that’s Mom, this is not a story that’s going to end well.

Yeah I have a friend from Puerto Rico, she is 5’11”. She is tall, but 5’5” (even with some of the short men I know from PR) is not *that* tall.

Can one be guilty of being not guilty?

I had a “come to Jesus” talk about it. He said 2:9 “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel...” 1 Tim. 2:9

A rhetorical question, but I'd go with yes.

Speaking from experience, this is exactly the way old-school financial company managers think. Although usually, they just refuse to hire the “hot” woman in the first place.

Except as their personal secretaries.

I’ve seen better looking hookers...although she’s dressed like one.

She’s pretty IMO, though that first photo is not really her best in this group (I’d say the last two are).

I’ve worked with prettier women, and it really is not that big of a deal. If it is a big deal, then maybe the rest of the office needs to take some maturity classes or something.

Late to the thread but thinking she is certainly above average in looks but hardly Sabado Gigante stuff.

My first thought: there’s an angry, ugly, jealous woman behind this.

Or Mexican Novela hot, like Barbara Mori.

I think those on this thread denying her unadulterated hotness might be gay.

She will have no trouble finding work elsewhere. She’s innocent of everything!

I always thought Sabado meant Saturday until I watched the program.

Do you thumpers have a convention every year where you learn new and innovative ways to suck the fun out of everything in life with phrases pulled from the Bible, or does it just come naturally to you?

And didn't you learn not to rely on single phrases extracted out of context? Why not explore the passage vis-a-vis women a bit more fully?

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

Yep; them there are some good ol' fashioned American values.
