A man claiming to be Buddy Fox, Charlie Sheen’s character from the movie “Wall Street” phoned into Ruby Tuesday Inc.’s earning’s call yesterday with one very important question-
‘Bud Fox’: I just have one question. Do you think your revenue was negatively impacted by Harambe’s death, and if yes, do you have any plans to mitigate it?
Ruby Tuesday Chairman and CEO James J. Buettgen: Excuse me, can you repeat your question, please? Impacted by what?
‘Bud Fox’: By Harambe’s death and if yes, do you have plans to mitigate it?
[CONFUSED PAUSE]
Mr. Buettgen: I am sorry, I don’t know if we have a bad connection. I couldn’t quite hear the question.
Operator: It appears that he has lost connection.
Other than Chili’s and mabye Outback Steakhouse, I don’t think you can get much better than Ruby Tuesday’s when you’re looking for an All-American entree. But after this little display you can be damn sure I won’t be caught dead spending my hard earned money there until some awareness is spread throughout the corporation. As you can see, the executives from Ruby Tuesday didn’t seem to know who Harambe was, which I find appalling and incredibly tone-deaf. Top brass at one of the country’s best restaurant chains doesn’t know who the guy is that is currently polling at 5% support for President of the United States? You kidding me, guys? .

The real question is, did Harambe know who he was deep down? We’ll never know and since knowing is half the battle, we’ve all lost the battle but Harambe lost the war that is life over a boy who’s IQ level was arguably less than that of the gorilla.
“Arguably” nothing. I got lost at that very gorilla enclosure as a child and I had the damn sense not to jump in.
Derek, you might have been a baby genius, who knows? I think the standard IQ score that deems you a functioning person in society is like 12, give or take a point or two.
I’m at least one standard deviation above a 12 IQ, so…
Best point thus far
Grandex has beaten this Harambe story to death more than the actual gorilla
How is Outback an “All American Eatery”?
You might want to change the title of this piece. Ruby Tuesday’s CEO is neither a broker nor does he work in Wall Street.
Just delete the entire article. This is by far the dumbest thing I’ve seen, well, anywhere.
Heard that Rico
man, you guys are fun today
This coming from the guy who acts like someone pissed in his Cheerios everyday for a month
WE’RE ADULTS. NO ONE FUCKING CARES ABOUT HARAMBE!!!!!!!!!
May you have a fruitful weekend, though. Looking forward to The Chase on Tuesday.
We may have post grad problems, but we aren’t stupid. Not actually understanding what you’re writing about lowers your credibility as a writer.
harambe is the point of the article. you’re just nitpicking
Better story: how this guy got by the conference call operator with a fictitious company name
Blue Horseshoe loves Ruby Tuesday
Who cares?
The CEO of RT isn’t a broker on Wall Street.
?????????????
At some point in your life, you’re going to stop eating shitty, salty food from shitty chains. You’ll look back and be disgusted at the PG things you consumed. Trust me.
