http://www.break.com/usercontent/2006/10/8/printer-problem-in-iraq-163012 This soldier in Iraq had an HP printer which quit working. He contacted HP tech support for help to fix it. HP told the soldier that he would have to pay them for the advice. Can't embed for some reason |

And this if of interest because.....? I thought it was amusing. I guess some people don't have a sense of humor. I have a sense of humor, and while this is mildly amusing, so are lots of things I see daily, but I don't feel the need to start a thread discussing them. If it were something unique, or novel it would be different, this is a guy with a machine gun pissed off at a printer. It is about the same humor level as a geek throwing a printer off the roof of a building, which is funny, but obviously not worthy of an entire thread. |

I didn't say you couldn't do as you please, I was just pointing out that the video was of marginal humor and interest at best, GD is a tough crowd, you better have better kung fu than that weak ass video if you want to have fun. This if a forum where there are 50 page threads on Cats doing stupid stuff, countless 99 page threads on the subject of Zombies, personal vendettas started over the discussion of 9mm Vs 45, and biweekly cop trash-a-thon threads that go fifty pages in three hours, and get locked just when they get fun, if you want to be epic you better come strong around here. |

This was first posted more than ten years ago, it is way better than a soldier taking a machine gun to a printer. Soldiers are expected to shoot things with machine guns, that is what they are expected to do, which in reality makes the video less funny. Kind of like watching a couch potato drink a beer and bitch about finding the remote control, that is what you expect. On the other hand your typical cubical drone going nuts and completely destroying a computer with his bare hands is out of character and unexpected.
That is how you do funny, unfortunately man vs IT equipment was settled years ago and office guy won. ETA: If you want real fun there is a biker vs cager thread going on right now and it is just getting started. We haven't had one of those in a few days, so this should be fun. |

Quoted: WOW, let me catch my breath! By the way that is totally fake. Has been debunked many times over. Once again, thanks for playing.

Welcome to ten years ago, I am aware it isn't real, but it is still funny. Do you not think that the guy with the printer didn't stage his display? Of course he did, he made the video strictly for comedic purpose. It was funny, I never said it wasn't, I only questioned if it was funny enough to warrant a thread. Apparently it wasn't, but my dry and cynical remarks do seem to be of interest to some. |

Somebody has too, if we leave it up to you we will be watching boring videos all night. I have said all along that it wasn't a bad video, just wondering if it was worthy of a thread or not.
I will give the video some credit, it is more worthy of a thread devoted to it than either the Goth/Nun German kid, or the fat kid with the jack handle and his mom's minivan, and both of those had multipage threads this evening. I would have questioned those too, but those videos were so entirely devoid of anything other than "train wreck effect" entertainment. The machine gun/printer video at least had actual humor. |

Video was a 4/10.... However the other b.s. in this thread makes my head hurt Then my evil plot is working!!! ETA: After keeping an eye on some potentially interesting threads I may have to revise my opinion of this video. The thread about the Ford 4X4 is going nowhere, and the NASCAR thread is still peaceful, and even the "Marines are adopting a rifle that isn't an M14" thread hasn't gone full retard yet. This video is looking better all of the time. |
