Peeing into Old Faithful gets 2 fired

[Analog]

CHEYENNE, Wyo. ? Two seasonal Yellowstone National Park concession workers have been fired after a live webcam caught them urinating into the Old Faithful geyser.

Park spokesman Al Nash says a 23-year-old man on Tuesday was fined $750 and placed on three years of unsupervised probation for urinating, being off trail in a restricted area and taking items from the area. The man also was banned from Yellowstone for two years.

The second employee?s case is pending.

The park?s dispatch center was called after someone watching a webcam on the geyser saw six employees leaving the trail and walking on Old Faithful on May 4.

The geyser was not erupting at the time.

Xanterra Parks & Resorts general manager Jim McCaleb says the former concession workers were hired at the Old Faithful Inn and that such incidents were rare.

WTF!!! Fired? :shocked:

Give them a warning and let them keep their job for fuck sake. This ranks up there with forgetting to punch out at the end of their shift.

"The geyser was not erupting at the time."

People on the internet seeing you pissing into a geyser via webcam is bad publicity.

Nah. I disagree. They should be fired and perma-banned from ALL national parks...and this should go into their "permanent records."

Hell, if the NPS opted to bill them for cleaning the urine, I wouldn't object.

There are more reasons for not permitting people off the walkways than JUST getting scalded. The amount damage done by tourists over the years in the national park system is HUGE.

If any are immigrants, (as many who work for Xanterra are) deport them immediately.

If an animal pees on it, nothing happens. Human pees and it becomes a big commotion

Hmmm, I once urinated on the geographical center of the United States monument near Smith Center, KS. I don't think there's a webcam there.

I peed off the golden gate bridge and on the oldest tree in the world.

It think it compares to this

TERRAREST!!

Wow, that's going to be one hell of a golden shower when it erupts.

Thats what this decade is all about. Classless scum defile a natural treasure. I will be glad when this decade is over and all the peons are banned, jailed or deported.

The only ones who should be deported are the damn illegals.

Liar, the oldest tree in the world is not underneath the Golden Gate Bridge.

Well, at least the park name is fitting.

no other animals are stupid enough to go near a geyser and pee into it.

 

[zzuupp]

humans can read the signs that say "Stop right here"

The punishment fits the crime.

So what would had happened if it erupted while you were peeing on it?

Would that qualify as a golden shower?

Well, think about it. Starting around 2000 you had the beginning of forum participation that grew rather large until about 2007. Around that time you had the rise of 4chan and its legions of trolls and evil comedy in the name "lulz". It became even more popular to be an evil bastard doing things to peoples food and putting it on youtube (another source of mass debauchery).

Now you can get mostly naked, shake your backside to your favorite music and hope people mastrubate to it. Sick. If its not that then people are out posting stupid videos of themselves going to into grocery stores, causing scenes and hoping for laughs. Not to mention the mass proliferation of CP and its "laughable" patron "pedobear".

Im just getting started. Also during this decade, it became popular to put naked pictures up of yourself online or send to your SO using this decades invention of camera phones, especially among teens and tweens called "sexting" (theres a bill in Texas to DEcriminalize this btw). Then you have adults goading people to commit suicide like that stupid woman who pretended to be a teen boy so a teen girl would kill herself after dumping her online.

I could also mention animal torture, the Dnepropetrovsk Maniancs, etc.

The decade of classless behavior. Ill be glad when its over. :thumbsup:

Well...since Old Faithful is the butthole of Yellowstone I guess they got busted for buggery with a national treasure.

 

[OverVolt]

I really don't care if people pee in old faithful.
