Piers Morgan backs Irish bar that posted jokey 'snowflake' job ad for 'self-entitled, over sensitive individual who can take offence from the most innocuous things', but then had to say sorry after snowflakes complained
Piers Morgan has applauded a Dublin bar that advertised for a 'full-time snowflake' to join their team - but was left exasperated by those who complained about it.
Oscars cafe bar in the Irish capital posted a joke advert for the role on social media last week.
Staff said they would only be accepting 'self-entitled, over sensitive' people who 'take offense from the most innocuous things imaginable'.
Praising the stunt today on Good Morning Britain, host Piers said: 'Next time I'm in Dublin, one of my favourite cities, I will go to the Oscars café bar.
'And I urge all like-minded souls who believe in free speech and who are anti-snowflake to go and support them through this difficult time.'
But Oscars was forced to remove parts of the joke advert after members of the LGBT+ community complained about the section on gender pronouns.
The original social media post read: 'Typing skills are essential as this role will involve ALOT of typing such as leaving one star reviews on Tripadvisor because the server in the Restaurant did not address you with the correct pronoun.'
Commenters were outraged with one saying: 'Wow. It just gets worse as you read. We all love a joke about people's pronouns...'
Owner Ronan Flood said he regretted the reference to pronouns and has always supported the LGBT+ community, hosting events for Dublin's Pride festival. He told The Sun: 'The reference to pronouns was an ill judged inclusion which I regret.
But Piers said the 'world has gone nuts' and lamented that the 'snowflakes' forced an apology out of the bar.
