WHO: The National Science Foundation WHAT: NSF employees took photographs of themselves Jell-O wrestling at the McMurdo research station in Antarctica. After the organizer of the Jell-O wrestling event was fired, he sent an email to the entire staff complaining that he had been done in by the “fun Nazis.” He also pointed out that no one had been fired for the skinny-dipping excursion that immediately preceded the Jell-O wrestling.
WHY IT’s AN OUTRAGE: The NSF’s Office of Polar Programs spends $451 million annually on research in Antarctica and the Arctic so that employees can skinny-dip and wrestle in Jell-O.
