    PR executive Justine Sacco posts an 'outrageous, offensive' joke on Twitter before boarding a plane

    and she lost her job. What was the "outrageously offensive" tweet?

    "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!" she tweeted.

    Now we can all see what is wrong with that but is the description and the reaction a bit over the top?
