Perfume Chokes up Detroit Broadcaster

This seems like real interesting news involving a radio broadcaster.

A Detroit radio DJ was awarded 10.6 million dollars this week because she was fired for complaining about a co-worker's perfume.

Former top-ranked radio host Erin Weber said exposure to Lancome's Tresor perfume caused her to lose her voice and take lengthy absences from work, the Detroit News reported.

She also said she once "felt an electric shock quell through my entire body" and required heavy medication to combat the effects.

It's amazing why she didn't just move on to another station. That's the trouble with working in broadcasting for so long... the ego just gets larger and larger with time. It's as if the entire world should adjust themselves according to her over-sensitive nostrils.

A jury of six women deliberated for eight days before awarding Weber 1.6 million dollars Monday for past and future compensation, seven million dollars in punitive damages and two million dollars for mental anguish and emotional distress.

Eh, talk about yer "jury of peers".

"I'm thankful that the jury took so much time to come to the right conclusion," Weber, 43, told the Detroit News after the verdict. "It's a great [pay] day."

Okay... so I added in the word "pay".
What does the Broadcasting company have to say in response?

A spokeswoman for Infinity Broadcasting, which owns the station, said the company planned to appeal. "We're disappointed in the verdict and intend to make all the appropriate post-trial motions," Karen Mateo told the Detroit News.
