Taco Bell has fired Benjamin Golden, a senior marketing manager who was caught on video physically assaulting an Uber driver in the Los Angeles area on Oct. 30.
In a three-and-a-half-minute clip—which has accrued more than 400,000 YouTube views—Golden appears to be too intoxicated to reveal his destination to his driver, Edward Caban. Caban eventually pulled over into a parking lot and told the 32-year-old marketer to get out of the car, which Golden initially refused to do before punching and slapping the driver while also grabbing his hair.
Golden, a resident of Newport Beach, Calif., got out of the vehicle after a couple of minutes, when Caban—in self defense—started spraying him with pepper spray. Golden was arrested soon after by local police, and he was later released after posting bail, according to CBS News.
"Given the behavior of the individual, it is clear he can no longer work for us," Taco Bell said in a statement emailed to Adweek. "We have also offered and encouraged him to seek professional help."

What is it with these marketing managers, you would think they of all people would know better.
what is that?
Well, there was an episode on “Taxi” where Bobby pulls his own pistol on a robber — I didn’t find that one right off so I went with a Bobby vs. Louie one - it doesn’t quite fit, but it’s a “Taxi” ... so, close enough for gov’t work.
Now, I’ve got this birth certificate from Hawaii and.....

I never watched Taxi. Have a feeling it was to be funny. Never had people in their cab like this moron.
There were some “Taxi” episodes that were really good. And of course, some really lame.
I certainly never thought I’d be looking back and thinking how much better the country was back then.....
I wonder how if feels to throw your career away?
My guess is he’ll be needing a cab ride again in the future.
He can’t top the genius CFO who decided to video himself and THEN put it out on the web. Of course, that wasn’t his first attack on Christianity, so he thought the next one would go well, too. Oops.

Who knew that getting an MBA would cause psychosis?
So...who wants to be an "Uber Driver" today?
Man, having to work industries that expose you to crazies on a constant basis? Prayers up for those folks.
I hope his house is paid for, or else he won't be a resident there for long.
Your user name is apropos.
So much for my computer skills...
I prefer Taco Bell to Uber.
