Sometimes, Only Laughter Will Do: The HP Printer Execution In Iraq

So, a soldier in Iraq has an HP printer he needs for his unit's work.

But, it doesn't work.

So, he calls HP tech support, who demand money for their assistance.

Here is the soldier's completely appropriate response.

OS hasn't checked to see if the suits at HP have begun to spin this bit of video, or how. Hopefully, though, this wonderful minute of pushback against US corporate idiocy will travel the world, say, a couple of hundred times; and cause someone, somewhere, within the upper reaches of HP managment and its board to feel some sight sense of, well, shame.

We may be able to assist by simply leaving HP printers on the shelf of the local retailer for the next month or so. Easy, peasy, and doesn't involve a moment or penny of sacrifice on our our part. Jest sayin'...

Appeals to reason and decency are now completely futile in great swathes of American culture. Only laughter (and sometimes a machine gun) will do...
