Come On, Tell Your Boss "I Love You"... Or Be Fired!

In news from both the "Weird Religions Department" and the "Evil Corporations Department" comes a very strange story…
The Messiah?
A federal agency says New York health care firm United Health Programs of America and its parent company Cost Containment Group forced employees to pray, to thank God for their jobs, and to tell their supervisors and co-workers "I love you."
In one example, according to the Toronto Sun
...an IT project and account manager was disciplined after she complained to management in 2010 that she was Catholic and did not want to participate in the spiritual activities, according to the complaint.
A month after she complained, the employee was removed from her office and relocated to an open customer service area, while a large statue of a Buddha was placed in her former office. She protested to the owner that the move amounted to a demotion and was fired, the complaint said.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a discrimination lawsuit on behalf of three employees that were demoted and fired for not staying in line with Onionhead doctrine.

Wait a minute… did you just say Onionhead doctrine?
Why yes, yes I did. The Onionhead religion is part of the Harnessing Happiness Foundation which just happens to be an organization created by the aunt of the accused company's owner. Onionhead is a cartoon onion and according to the foundation's website…
Onionhead is this incredibly pure, wise and adorable character who teaches us how to name it – claim it – tame it – aim it. Onion spelled backwards is ‘no-i-no’. He wants everyone to know how they feel and then know what to do with those feelings. He helps us direct our emotions in a truthful and compassionate way. Which in turn assists us to communicate more appropriately and peacefully. In turn, we then approach life from a place of our wellness rather than a place of our wounds.
His motto is: peel it – feel it – heal it
Wise words indeed.
There is an Onionhead youtube channel - badly drawn, badly written, badly animated.Here is Onionhead in Space Part 1.
Wow! That IS bad. It should be against the law to make anyone watch that crap.
Their website and videos are bad enough to make you cry. Get it? Cry? Onions? Never mind.
