ESPN announcer Britt McHenry released a firestorm on The Interwebs after her foul-mouthed rant at a towing company clerk went viral.

For her Mean Girl outburst McHenry received a short one-week suspension, which USA Today Sportswriter Chris Chase called a “slap on the wrist” and then proceeded to label her the “Christian Bale of a new generation.”

Interestingly, on March 29, prior to the incident, McHenry posted this at her Facebook page.

“Take the high road and be nice to people. Amazing how a small kind gesture can go so far, yet similarly so can the impact of negative words. Don’t choose the latter.”

Oh, the irony. It burns.
