Political Correctness run amok. These events happened when the entire work place sexual harassment/cruel jokes policies were just being put into place. The vast majority of businesses back in late 1990's didn't have a policy in place and as they started to put them into place charges were made based on new policies that weren't very well thought out. (if you look at most school districts that why they went away from zero tolerance policies because to many younger kids were being expelled for toy weapons).
This seems to be falling into this catagory
