'Rachael Ray Show' Overrun By Litigious Aneroxics
In what will easily go down as the Most Insane Legal Filing of the Long Weekend, a male employee at The Rachael Ray Show has named producer CBS and several other staffers in a legal filing seeking $1.5 million in damages for anorexia discrimination. From TMZ:
Admitted anorexic Aaron Ferguson just filed suit in Manhattan, alleging that his boss — the "Rachael" accountant — slammed the show's executive-in-charge, Priscilla Taussig, as "too skinny to do her job," demeaned anorexics as "sick in the head," and even commented, "Did you see Priscilla today ... all you can see are her sickly bones."
It doesn't take too much of a leap to find the implicit humor in a cooking show accused of discriminating against its employees for being too skinny. But when you factor in that the show in question was none other than Dunkin' Jihadist Rachael Ray's, the flaky layers of delicious irony practically melt in your mouth—as who would ever have thought that as she was busy fattening America up with the details of her signature Eleven Cheese Crusty Broccoli Casserole, the people processing her payroll were wasting away right underneath her button nose all along.
