Man takes a bubble bath in Burger King sink!

Xenia, Ohio -- On his first day of work a grown man takes a bubble bath in the kitchen sink at Burger King. He said that it was his birthday and that he was feelin' a little greasy. http://www.wdtn.com/global/story.asp?s=8825514

Ha, I love how he's blurred out here, whereas I saw this on the news thismorning in its full 'glory'. Actually, now that I just watched it all, I love how no one has their face blurred out properly at all, there's a point where everyone has their full face in view... so what's the point of the ridiculous blur spot?

Just makes you wonder about all the stuff that people have done in restaurants over the years that they haven't filmed. Also makes you wonder just how retarded these people are. I guess that the comment about a "beer and a 20" was about an oxycontin?

I live in Ohio, and this was posted today in local 10TVNews's site:
(*chuckle* 'The video had been removed by Tuesday night.')

XENIA, Ohio — Burger King Corp. said Tuesday it has parted ways with an employee who was recorded taking a soapy bath in the restaurant's utility sink.

The nearly four-minute video, which was posted Thursday on MySpace.com, shows him taking the bath to celebrate his birthday. The employee, Timothy Tackett, refers to himself only as "Mr. Unstable" in the video and appears to be naked.

Tackett, 25, told Dayton television station WDTN that he made the video for his MySpace page because it was his birthday and he wanted to do something to entertain fans and friends who follow his aspirations to become a full-time singer. The video had been removed by Tuesday night.

Tackett said he would like to apologize to Burger King Corp., and he said he regretted taking the bath because it led to the firing of the employee who did the recording, as well as the restaurant's shift manager.

"She had three cash registers and a safe open," he said Tuesday in an interview posted on WDTN's Web site. "What can you do when an employee is already in the sink?"

Tackett said he's also pleased that more people have gone to his MySpace page in recent days to listen to his music because of the attention he's received from the video.

Burger King spokeswoman Denise Wilson said earlier Tuesday that two employees involved in the incident were fired and another quit. She declined to identify the employees or say whether the man who took the bath quit or was fired. Tackett said he was fired.

The sink is used to clean large pieces of equipment, said Greene County Health Commissioner Mark McDonnell. Bacteria or viruses on the skin could have potentially contaminated equipment, but there have been no reports of any customers becoming ill.

McDonnell said he dispatched an inspector to the restaurant, but at that point the restaurant had sterilized the sink. Tackett told WDTN he spent more than an hour cleaning the sink just after the bath.

Miami-based Burger King, the nation's No. 2 hamburger chain, said in a statement that it also disposed of all kitchen tools and utensils used in the incident and is retraining the staff in health and sanitation procedures.

Tackett said the restaurant's regular customers shouldn't worry about eating there again.

"It's totally a safe place to eat," he told the TV station. "I would eat there still, but I'm not allowed."
