Comedian sacked by SMS
It's been quite a while since a "sacked by SMS" story has been in the news. But there is one today in Ananova
"A leading German TV station has fired one of the country's most popular comedians by text message.
Comedian Hans Werner Olm said he thought it was a joke when he received a text message telling him he had been sacked. But he realised it was no laughing matter when he turned up for work and discovered his long-running show had been cancelled."
