Yikes

Yikes. Yet another crazy link from Joe Hudak (seriously, doesn't he have work to do at his new job?). In this one, watch as an employee, caught on security video, goes absolutely ballistic.

What's even more scary is how human beings react to such a scene: apparently we just stare dumbly. I seem to recall studying such group dynamics in the face of violence in some sociology class, but can't remember what the term is. Any fellow sociology or psychology majors out there? Common, you know who your are (and chances are you're not working in either of those professions.)

Please, let no [cubicle] walls come between us...

Alas, as with most things that are completely outrageous and shocking, turns out this was a complete sham...

Timur Bekmambetov orchestrated this as a viral marketing event for his new comics-inspired, Jolie-Freeman two-seater thrill-ride, Wanted. You know, the one with the bullets, and the cars, and the flips and the explosions? Yeah, THAT one.
