KFC the funny side?

A university lecturer has landed himself in hot water after informing his students that if they failed his exams, they would only be fit for working in fast-food chains with Irish ‘idiots’.

Dr. Bartosz Scheur, a business expert at the Wroclaw University of Economics, sparked outrage when he posted the comments on the university website and is currently under investigation from his superiors.  

“If you haven’t passed the exam in micro-economics, I wish you a safe journey to Dublin, a nice job in KFC and unforgettable moments among idiots,” he wrote. 

Not content with writing ignorant comments regarding Poles working abroad, he went on to make offensive jibes about depressed students cutting themselves.
 
“If, following the results, any of you intend harming yourselves, please do so outside the building as it’s easier to get rid of the blood on the linoleum floor than elsewhere.” 

However Scheur has defended his actions by claiming that it was all just meant as a bit of fun. 

“To all those who felt offended I sincerely apologise. Perhaps we might ask the interested parties, namely the students, what they think about this? All my students know what I’m like and that this was meant as a joke. It’s a form of irony.”
 
But it seems that not everyone shares the lecturer’s opinion. One student later said; “It’s very insulting. There are lots of bright people who work in fast food restaurants and Irish people aren’t stupid - certainly not as stupid as he’s being in making these comments anyway.”
