    Ving Rhames is subject to a fine not to exceed $10,000 and a term in prison not to exceed one year for each Florida-based airing of the 1997 film Rosewood.

    Who thinks up something like this and then thinks "sure, they'll let me keep my job after I do something this stupid"?

    I could see a scenario where you have an outside vendor. ... and they are just doing a meal, so they do some chicken, etc. Especially with something like Aramark, which is so big, and they probably have cookie-cutter menus they work with throughout the year for jobs like this.

    I honestly think that quite a few of the things people have posted on this thread have been bad things that happened to involve a black person or a racial minority. ... automatically being turned into evidence of something racist.

    The BIG problem for me, at least, on this story is, fine, you give them the benefit of the doubt, etc.. ... but watermelon is so NOT IN SEASON in February.

    “Can we all agree this is racist, but this menu sounds pretty good and wasting food is bad?” 12-year old fat kid Hermes who also hated conflict

    I don’t remember seeing any giant cans of government surplus watermelon in the kitchen of the school cafeteria when I was a kid.
