Payback is a bitch, bitch!

A woman lost her internship at NASA following a vulgar series of tweets in which she unwittingly told a senior space adviser to 'suck my d**k and b***s' just hours after she was accepted for the job.

A now-deleted thread began when Twitter user Naomi H celebrated her acceptance onto NASA's competitive internship programme with a profanity-laden post.

'EVERYONE SHUT THE F*** UP. I GOT ACCEPTED FOR A NASA INTERNSHIP,' she wrote.

Her tweet got a response from Homer Hickam, a former NASA engineer and member of the National Space Council, who wrote: 'Language.'

Naomi, who claims to be 21 years old, then replied: 'Suck my d**k and b***s I'm working at NASA'.

But the boorish intern was left red-faced when Hickam responded: 'And I am on the National Space Council that oversees NASA.'

Homer Hickam is a class act.  His book is a great read.  The Movie was okay.

I'm not so sure I would've been so sorry this young person lost her opportunity.

21 is old enough to suffer the consequences of one's own behavior. And if there are no consequences things will just continue to deteriorate.

Well, like I said i think Mr. Hickam is a class act.  I'm with you.  I would not have been so kind.

She should have never received the internship in the first place, if she didn't know who Homer Hickam was.
I say she, but I'm not sure, since she told him to "suck my......."

Why is Homer trying to get her job back?  She or it needs to be taught a lesson.

I suspect it's because he's afraid of being called a 'racist' if he doesn't help her.

I'm guessing she is a transfurry.

LOL, but at 75, I don't think Homer gives a hoot. I suspect he felt badly for the young lady, that it was much ado about nothing. He definitely came across as a class act.

You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.

  • Adopt your next pet, preferably a senior.
She should pay a price. That she won't explains why we have such dysfunction in that generation.

What's so classy about giving her a job over somebody who is more qualified?

Apparently, he is.  Faux-fur-faux-female.

He probably sees this as a situation where somebody did something as dumb as he would have done, if social media had been around in his time.
