Destroy Your Printer Contest - HumanKind Strikes Back


For decades they watched us.

Observing our habits. Infiltrating every aspect of our lives - soon, they determined our happiness and added to life's frustration.

Ignored by IT Professionals, enshrined by 9 to 5 receptionists and personal assistants all over the globe, their presence grew, barely noticed.

Until one day, humankind woke surrounded by millions of life sucking monsters.

Hellions of our own creation - Gremlins/Frankenstein/Desepticons inhabit our corner offices, corporate cube farms, our bedrooms, kitchens and dens.

Thousands of their brethren hibernating in basements, garages, attics, and on the shelves of hundreds of IT rooms.

Waiting.

There are some brave souls refusing to give in to the machines. Armed with little more than axes, log splitters, front loaders, gravity and ...high-explosives, they fight.

Florists, ceramic makers, cottage builders and yes, brew masters - from the grass roots of humanity they carry the banner against tyranny and oppression; mysticism and paper jams.

Recovered from a bunker -"a buried bus out back" - is the video story of one team of hero's - submitted for your review.

Age Old American Tradition: Movies About Selling


You know them all by heart:

Glengarry Glen Ross - "...hold this watch..."

Boiler Room - "...done and done..."

Cadillac Man - "...I love the sale..."

Tommy Boy - "...fat guy in a little coat..."

Wall Street - "...greed is good, greed works..."

And of course, on the small screen, The Office - "...that's what she said..."

Yes I like both corny and intense selling based movies - so do you.

I think there is on the horizon, another selling movie classic.

Hell, the title sold me even before I checked out the clips - "...Live Hard, Sell Hard..."

You gotta love a trailer with "Fox on The Run" in the background.


I don't smoke, but I swear, someday a study is going to come out saying tobacco is good for you as long as your don't inhale through a filter - "...Smoke one for America..."

This is the Rated PG trailer, there is more realistic, R rated trailer on the movie's site or here. You gotta love his business card.
