A LESBIAN COUPLE IN LAFAYETTE INDIANA WENT ON A
VALENTINE'S DINNER DATE AT ASAHI JAPANESE STEAKHOUSE, AND
THEY WERE SERVED A LITTLE MORE THAN THEY ASKED FOR.
ONE OF THE WOMEN, ELLIE PARKER, DETAILED HER EXPERIENCE IN
A FACEBOOK POST.
SHE SAYS, "OUR CHEF CAME TO GROW OUR FOOD FOR US AND WAS
ASKING IF EVERYONE ñ WITH ASKING EVERYONE IF THE PERSON WITH THEM
ñ WITH THEM WAS THEIR BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND.
HE ASKED US IF WE WERE TOGETHER, WE WERE HOLDING HANDS,
CLEARLY A COUPLE.
HE PROCEEDS TO SAY, IT IS LEGAL BUT IT IS SUCH A WASTE TO
NOT HAVE A MAN.
LATER HE CONTINUES TO EVOLVE OUR RELATIONSHIP BY SAYING HE COULD
COME HOME WITH US TO HEAT THINGS
UP."
THEY DID NOT LEAVE A TIP, BUT THEY LEFT THIS NOTE SAYING DO
NOT TELL LESBIAN VIDEO A MAN ON VALENTINE'S DAY.
ASAHI RESPONDED OFFERING HER A REFUND IF SHE AGREED TO REMOVE
HER FACEBOOK POST, THAT HAS NOW REACHED 7000 SHARES.
AGAIN, JUST MADE IT WORSE.
GIVE HER THE FIFTY DOLLARS BACK AND SAY YOU ARE SORRY.
I'M GOING TO THINK OF A SURPRISING.
I VIEW THIS GUY AS PROBABLY AN EATONTOWNIST.
MY DAD USED TO MANAGE A BUILDING IN EATONTOWN, NEW JERSEY.
IT IS
A VERY NORMAL TOWN IN NEW JERSEY, A LOT OF BARELY
WHITE-COLLAR WORKERS, AND AN OFFICE BUILDING WHERE HE
WOULD READ A LITTLE TINY OFFICE SPACE.
ONE OF THESE GUYS WOULD SELL ENCYCLOPEDIAS, AND THEY ALL
MADE CORNY JOKES.
THAT'S MY RECOLLECTION OF IT WHEN I WAS A KID AND I
WORKED IN MY DAD'S BUILDING.
THEY WOULD COME AND THEY WOULD BE LIKE, AND IT WAS
ANONYMOUSLY UNFUNNY, AND EVERYONE IN THE BUILDING
WOULD SAY, BOB, BOB, NO WONDER YOU SELL SO MANY ENCYCLOPEDIAS.
HE WAS DOING SOMETHING STUPID AND CORNY, THAT IS WHY OF COURSE
THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID SORRY AND PAID THE BILL, BUT I'M NOT
SURE IF HE WAS AS MALICIOUS AS THIS STORY IS POINTING OUT.
ONE OF THE REASON I SAY ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE I WANT ALL
OF US TO TALK IT THROUGH AND LEARN TOGETHER.
INSTEAD OF THIS GUY BEING THE VILLAIN OF THE WEEK, AND
EVERYBODY SHOULD HATE HIM, MAYBE SOME IMPULSIVE ASIDE AND SAYS,
YOU KNOW THAT IS KIND OF OFFENSIVE ñ NOT EVEN OFFENSIVE,
IT IS JUST NOT COOL.
THEY ARE AT A VALENTINE'S DAY, AND THEY DEAL WITH A LOT OF
CRAP FOR BEING LESBIANS.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU MEANT ñ
ESPECIALLY IN INDIANA.
I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU MEANT TO BE ONE OF THE DICKS
GIVING THEM CRAP OR IF YOU ARE JUST DOING A CORNY JOKE ñ
I WAS WORRIED, I WAS WORRIED THAT THEY WERE JUST GOING TO BE
UPSET THAT HE WAS ASKING WHERE THE BOYFRIENDS WERE, AND I
THOUGHT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A
DEGREE OF TRIGGERING, LIKE, WE'LL NEVER BOYFRIEND HOW
DARE YOU?
THEN I WAS GOING TO BE LIKE, YOU HAVE TO GIVE THIS GUY A BREAK.
THE GUY ACTUALLY SAID SOMETHING BAD.
THIS IS THE POSTING OF THE THING, AND YOU ARE BRAGGING
ABOUT YOUR CLEVER THING.
FIRST OF ALL, WE TALKED IN THE LAST STORY THAT YELP IS THE
VILLAIN, HE IS THE CHEF, YOUR SERVER PROBABLY DESERVES
THE TIP.
IT'S A HIBACHI GRILL, DON'T THEY PUT IT LIKE THAT?
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN FOR A BENIHANA.
IT A LITTLE HOMOPHOBIC, BUT WHAT IT MORE POINTS OUT HERE IS THE
FETISHIZATION FOR THE MALE GAZE.
HE IS JUST TOTALLY HINGING ON THAT.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE ENCYCLOPEDIA GUY WOULD HAVE
SAID, AND HE WAS A GOOD GUY WITH A FAMILY.
I CAN HEAT THINGS UP, FOR CHRIST SAKE DON'T SAY THAT.
BEING A GOOD GUY DOESN'T GIVE YOU A PASS FOR NOT
RECOGNIZING IT IS 2016.
THAT'S WHY I WANT TO HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS THAT HE GETS
THAT IS NOT A GOOD GUY THING TO DO.
BUT, FETISHIZATION, I HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF THAT IN THE PAST.
BUT YOU ARE NOW DIFFERENT.
YOU GROW AND LEARN.
FIRST OF ALL, YOU'D BE THE WORST HIBACHI CHEF IN THE WORLD.
THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CATCH FIRE.
THE FOOD IS GOING TO BE MISERABLE AND I'M GOING TO
MISS TWO FINGERS.
HAVING SAID THAT, I REMEMBER THE STORY BUT I HARKEN BACK TO FOR
WHATEVER REASON, SYLVESTER
STALLONE CATCHES HIS WIFE MAKING OUT, MAKING LOVE TO HIS HOT
SECRETARY, AND HE IS ENRAGED AND DIVORCES HER, AND I THINK,
ARE YOU CRAZY?
THAT'S THE GREATEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED, JUMP ON IN.
I WOULD NOT SAY THAT TO PEOPLE'S FACES.
I THINK ñ
WOULD THAT EVER WORK WITH
LESBIANS?
I'M NOT SURE THAT WOULD WORK WITH ANYBODY.
BUT THE SYLVESTER STALLONE THING, AM I A BAD GUY?
I DON'T THINK YOU ARE A BAD GUY.
HERE IS WHAT I THINK, IT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT WHEN YOU
ARE TALKING ABOUT LESBIANS AND INSINUATING THAT THEY ARE NOT
BEING COMPLETELY SATISFIED IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP, AND THAT
ADDING A MAILING TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEHOW
BENEFIT THEM.
THAT IS DIFFERENT.
I DON'T THINK THE SECRETARY AND BRIDGET NELSON WERE
THINKING, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF SLY CAME HOME.
ANYWAY, I'M GOING TO GO FURTHER, ALTHOUGH YOU GUYS
ARE PROBABLY RIGHT I'M GOING TO STICK WITH MY POSITION.
BUT I THINK A DUDE IS ALLOWED TO BE TURNED ON BY LESBIANS.
THE FEMALE BODY IS TOTALLY SEXUALIZED MEDIA.
SO IF YOU SAY THE FETISHIZATION IS WRONG, I DISAGREE.
BUT IF I VOCALIZE THAT TO THEM IN A PERSONAL SETTING, THEN
I'M WITH YOU, COOL IT THEY GET.
BUT IF YOU HAVE A FOOT FETISH AND SAY YOUR FEET ARE SO
HOT, JUST KEEP YOUR FETISH TO YOURSELF AND YOUR COMPUTER.
YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL THE PERSON ABOUT YOUR FETISH AND HOW
THEY PLAY INTO IT.
AND IF YOU HAVE A FOOT FETISH, COME ON, KNOCK IT OFF.
