Etiquette Classes for America's Employees. . . . Why do People Need to Learn Manners? . . . You can now work in a Barbie Pink Office!

Noted etiquette experts and taxidermy hobbyists, Adam and Jeff, discuss the vast profusion of etiquette courses for "couth-challenged" employees in corporate America.  Employees are being taught how to make polite conversation and write professional (e.g., coherent) emails because they apparently missed those lessons at school.  Jeff believes that many younger workers are ill-mannered due to their isolation growing up when they spent most of their time by themselves gaming and writing political manifestos on the internet.  Sadly, they did not learn valuable social skills by playing games in their frontyards with the neighborhood kids because such activities are now apparently illegal throughout the country.  Although Jeff is concerned that his words will be seen as "micro-aggressions" due to his membership in the "patriarchy," he believes that these problems stem from our society becoming one in which mere participation is rewarded with 5 foot tall trophies and slavish praise.  Adam is pleased to announce to Barbie fans that they can rent a "Barbie office" in Miami that is completely decorated in Barbie pink.  Indeed, Jeff acknowledges the advertising juggernaut that is the recently-released Barbie movie and notifies program listeners that the wife of the chairman of the Omaha Bugle has decorated the newsroom in Barbie pink and required Adam and Jeff to wear Barbie pink suits.
