I agree with the premise of the article, and I think the faux-outrage over every little non-PC comments is ridiculous.
That being said, this lady was the the director of communications (a top PR position) at a multinational media and internet corporation. If there was a ever a job position that a person should know better than to post a comment (even ad a joke) that could be somewhat controversial, it was her position. A PR person that causes bad PR, is not doing it right.

Certainly. But the point of the article isn't her choice of words, but the actions taken after the fact. Someone in South Africa with no affiliation to Sacco, the PR firm, or AIDS, took time out of his day to show up at the airport and photograph her arrival.
I also thought the Gawker guy handled the entire interview poorly. While he tried to avoid it, he openly admitted that he was comfortable using her poor decision as an opportunity to boost his own "personality" and ad ratings.
