[NSFW] Salesforce fires top executives based on a joke (translate.googleusercontent.com)

TLDR: employee uses an politically incorrect costume at company party in Brazil. Pics leak to social networks and HQ demands employee's head. Director and President steps in - overreaction they argue - and both get fired.

Note: automated translation from Portuguese article.

Honestly, wtf is up with no NSFW on this?

edit: fixed now, but still... for the curious: imagine a fairly convincing costume that would put Dirk Diggler to shame.

Is it politicaly motivated or was it the NSFW costume the issue?

Cultural hegemony strikes again! What is distasteful to Americans is not distasteful to Brazilians.

Go watch TV in Europe or Central/South America. If an American company ran some of those shows, their heads would be on a stick.

This is a clear example of a culture clash. Funny in Brazil, unacceptable in the US.

I'm from Europe (neutral point-of-view?) and I find it pretty funny... Nobody should have been fired.
