Perhaps if the OP wasn't goofing off at work making a dumb assed song, the bosses wouldn't have thought him to be a useless employee, and wouldn't have considered him 'layoff material'.

God that song sucks AND blows.  Don't give up the day job.  Oh, you did, sort of!  :D

Lol, this is the best reply of this thread. I'm surprised your co-worker didn't punch you in the face for singing such a gay song.

Your first mistake was thinking a song about wow would impress anyone at your work. Your second was coming on mmorpg.com to look for legal advice.

You all missed the obvious solution.

Ask Obama to invite you and the offended party to the white house for a beer summit.

I think he was more offended that someone let u raid as a resto shammy...he prob plays a priest.

and whats the lesson?

never mix work and games :D

Lol qq more. Actually whites have it harder today because of the racist minorities crying about their rights. If a black/ethnic guy and a white guy have the same credentials for a job interview the black/ethic guy gets it. That sounds extremely racist.
Black/Latina miss America, wheres  the white Miss America? 

Black schools, wheres the white schools?
 
Oh and the "I'm black/spanish/different I have it harder" routine doesn't work any more since we have a half non-white president so get off your ass and get a job. Also if you personalaly weren't a slave then you can't use that excuse either.
 
So in conclusion stop crying minorities, your lucky your even here and your being treated better then most white ppl that were born here.

For future reference when everyone wants to know where it all went wrong, and how to get back.
 

I agree with this completely, we should head back to where we made all those left turns.

We should repeal the civil rights act. It was much better when we could lynch black people.

We should repeal Medicare/medicaid, it was better when poor and old people died.

We should repeal women's right to vote; keep em in the kitchen and barefoot.

Lord how I miss the days where we could commit mass genocide upon Native American's without retribution.

And the Civil War, boy I want a slave badly - stupid liberal Republicans.

The of course, there was our very first liberal turn - I long for the days of being subjugated under a tyranical monarchy; we never should have left the Brittish Empire.

Those minorities are lucky that we enslaved them and brought them here; or subjugated and oppressed them for generations. Pure unadulterated luck. They should be thanking us. After all, what are they thinking? That these rights are inaliable endowed to them by their creator? How could we Americans possibly believe that?

The history of America is a history of left turns which have extended freedom and liberty, if you don't like it, what did you guys used to say....there's always Russia.

Bam this guy at my job took offense, told my boss now there thinking of laying me off.

What do i do?

 

This has to be  fake post. If it's not I really hope to never get a job there, come on has everyone lost there sense of humour I know the song is quite sad but is it gone that bad that a harassment  case can be brought against you for being a nerd!

This world is pathetic. Someone got offended over that? No freakin' way. They're just looking for a lame excuse to can you. Maybe they don't like you, or they're just using you to get in good with the boss.

People get offended way too easily so often that half the time I'm sure it's bullshit. "I'm offended that there was a police officer in my house, even though it looked like I was breaking into it. I'll yell at him because he's a racist even though all he asked for was ID that I was the homeowner. Stupid white people!"

Well, now he gets beer with the President and a bunch of idiots think the police are racist.

Seriously, take some of the better advice presented earlier in this thread, like getting a lawyer, printing out the words, mediation, etc. And learn your lesson: Roll a Hunter.

I wouldn't blame them if they fired you OP. Only an idiot could make such a post (let alone come up with such a stupid song). Companies won't survive with employees like you. WTF. Idiocracy.

A guy I once worked with one day started singing along with some music and it was like one of those really, really, BAD American Idol auditions.  I said in what I thought was obviously  a joking and sacastic tone that he was a real good singer.  But then it turned out he was really like one of those Amercian Idol contestants who have no clue how bad they are and he took my sarcastic comment as a genuine compliment. 

However, this was many years before American Idol existed so I was previously unaware that someone could be that bad and not realize it.  He continued happily singing at the top of his lungs and I backed away slowly, afraid to catch the crazy from him.

That's my contribution to the thread.

I have no sympathy for someone who likes wow and raiding so much they have to make a retarded rap/poem about it.

i hope they sue you so you dont have any money to play anymore mmorpgs aswell

If this is actually a real post I would ventire to guess a couple of things in reading it.

1) There is WAY more this than what was stated.

2) Looks like people there have too much time on their hands. This would warrant some layoffs anyway.

3) Unless you work at a game company or with a bunch of high tech folks who game the odds are you just alienated yourself and confused the living crap out of your co-workers who will now think you are off.  Looks like communication skills and common sense might be lacking.

I think you should put something in writing as soon as possible.

Write up the words to the song in an easily followed format.

Then explain some of the terms in it, like what a 'raid' is. Explain that the term 'shaman' is used only in the context of the video game.

Explain that the game has no connection with any real world religion.

Then explain to your boss that your co-worker is a douchebag, and then take a dump in his coffee and quit your job.

i like this reply. especially the last sentence.

If this post was really true and not some attention seeker, then make a detailed memo explaining things. You always stand stronger when you have things in writing.

I really want to reply to the OP, but I fear it will give him just more attention than needed. So I guess I will just keep this whole comment in black. Of course this will lead to my next infarction, but who cares.

 OP, as long you are not fired, relax. It might be a good idea to chat up the colleague (dont use gamer lingo) and ask why he was offended and apologise for it.

 Hope things will go well.

This reminds me of Dying Dave dumpalink.com/videos/Dying-Dave-7e45.html

You said you where sitting around in your offices with some buds making this song...could it have been the process itself (sitting around with your buds and just rapping stuff off) that got out of hand?

Also the buds that you were with could go to your boss and tell them their take on  this entire thing, you are allowed to build a defense doncha know :)
