This looks awfully like a fake 'viral' video campaign. In fact I'd put money on it.


I don't know...it's still awesome how he starts throwing cubicle dividers at coworkers as though he were a wild ape. Very emotive.

This may have been fake viral, but I'm still happy to get infected.


Yeah, strange how the monitors didn't have any cables attached to them. I'd expect the computer case to hitchhike for at least part of the ride.


i think that the second monitor had cables connected, you can see it suddenly stop and fall while flying in the air.


It did suddenly stop - because it hit a wall. The first one gave him absolutely no resistance at all. He just picked it up and threw it.

Also, those have to be cheapest cube walls I've ever seen. The desks are the only things holding them upright.


I think it made the news because it was one of those rare real cases.

...good 'ole tazer ...solves everything ;)


This will surely promote taser sales. You NEED one! Anytime a coworker can SNAP!


After reading lurkage's post (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=210775), just thought I'd post this.


If this is real then all the other males in there are absolutely sackless for not kicking this guy's ass after he threw the monitor at that lady.


Unless, of course, she had it coming.
