Your arguement is fundamentally flawed. So following your logic Dan, even when you are on break or lunch you are still on the clock for your employer and at their beck and call - even if you punch a clock.

If Mia was doing an interview during her lunch then EA can fuck off as she was not on their time, but on hers. When any employee, contract or otherwise, takes their legally mandated lunch or break - it's their time.

If anybody is being unreasonable here it's EA for only allowing Mia a 1/2 hour lunch-break when an hour away from the croud (i.e. stalkers) to unwind, catch a smoke, eat, do an interview - whatever - would be considered normal.







Nowhere in South's article is it mentioned that Mia is on a lunch break. My argument stands...sure, no manager at Ralph's/GAP/wherever would give a shit if an employee got accosted for an interview during their lunch break. But if the same happens during working hours, it's a different story.

Of course, if you're correct and Mia was on her lunch break at the time, then that's a different story, and I echo your sentiment that 'EA can fuck off!' if it turns out to be the case. From what I've read, there is no mention of this, and it seems more like a case of Mike South 'borrowing' someone else's paid employee for the purpose of making some money for himself.

If Mike South was paying Mia to be at AEE, then he could decide when and how long her lunch break was...the simple fact remains though that he was not paying Mia, and EA were, meaning it's EA's call to make.

What kind of response do you think you'd get from Vivid/Wicked/DP if you just walked up to their stand and declared that you were taking Stormy/Tera/Teagan/Sunny Leone away for a totally unscheduled lunch and an interview?
My guess is their response would be something along the lines of 'The fuck you are, pal!' or just laughing in your face. Why should EA be any different with the girls they pay to be at their booth?

I should point out, I'm not some EA fan/apologist, but I can definitely see where they were coming from on this one.
