Bill Maher is a comic with a political edge. I didn't disagree with what he said. In the case of Udoka, it probably is more than just 2 consenting adults who work together starting to date (although none of us nor Maher know all the details). I don't think Ukoda specifically was the main point of his harangue. It was more about this idea that if two consenting adults who work at the same company, start to date, that they have to tell HR. And to me, that does seem weird.
Office romances can create certain tensions but I am not sure getting HR involved or just forbidding any office romance in the right answer. For young people today though, if that is the rule, then it is no wonder online dating is so common.
