Dirty Preggo Comments Provide Fertile Ground for Lawsuit

December Martin is suing publishing house McGraw-Hill on sexual harassment charges, claiming she was driven out of her position as Chief Information Officer. Martin claims that when she became pregnant last year, one of her supervisors told her, "Oh, you're tired. You're not having sex. Sex gives you energy." The executive also allegedly told her she should "try a sex toy" to stave off fatigue. [NYPost]

Love your headline on this one.

C'mon, in this day and age, someone really thinks referring to sex and sex toys to a coworker is not going to be met with a harassment suit?

Never underestimate bad taste.

People are always looking for way to make/get easy money.
