A hair salon says it was told by a job center it couldn't run an advertisement recruiting a “happy” stylist because the word is “discriminatory” against unhappy people.
Alison Birch listed a job ad looking for a part-time qualified hairdresser at her AJ's Unisex Hair Salon in Stroud, England,.
The position called for someone with five years’ experience of working in a salon, who is "confident in barbering as well as all aspects of hairdressing.”
And the advertisement stated, "This is a busy, friendly, small salon, so only happy, friendly stylists need apply."
But on Wednesday, Birch says she received a call from her local job center informing her they could not run her ad because the word “happy” is considered “discriminatory.”

If you have not read it, you should.
“I want everybody off the bus. I want the shiny people over here, and the happy people over here, ok! I represent angry gun-toting meat-eating f...ing people, alright!” - Dennis Leary
Don’t want unhappy people messing with your hair; on a side note: The Seattle Times removed “family room” from real estate ads because it disparages people without families.
Oh that Babylon Bee. It just keeps topping itself!
Discriminate away!!
Lol I thought it was The Bee as well!
This is so nuts! Who the heck wants a miserable stylist?!
Sad lives matter.
Anti-speech, anti-f-a. Is our mandatory duct tape covering that mouth under our mandatory mask? CWII in progress...
BE PREPARED to be UNCIVILIZED toward the UNCIVIL. Don’t put yourself in an untenable situation. A mask is good to hide behind. A weapon is mandatory to insure that you live. Look at eyes looking at you.
Civilization
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.
The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

2081 isn’t that far away.
People’s “depraved taste for equality”, as pointed out by Tocqueville, will be the biggest source of our misery.
“unhappy” is NOT a “protected class”!!!
Wait - does these mean they can only hire hetrosexual hair dressers and they can’t hire ones that are happy (gay)? Sounds homophobic to me.
I knew it wasn’t the United States even before reading it. America is crazy but not this crazy yet.
Why do we care about England anyway? They can run their country the way they want.
It’s the UK.
Newspeak is already mandated.
Assuming that this is not satire, could they be thinking happy is a code word for gay? And they hide the real agenda with that sappy “unhappy” excuse?
I want to post an ad for people who think they are unicorns.
