That was funny! Gives all those uptight corporate business monks a chance to crack a joke and a story to tell!

they’re just trying to make more money.
so what if they invest $100,000?
they’re getting rich and rich and richer.
but still can’t take a joke.

if i was working at one of the booths i think i’d find it quite amusing…a little break from standing around giving a stupid demo 70 times a day…

@ 102, do you know how much it cost to have a booth in these trade shows? Do you know how much time and efforts are put in? You probably don’t and won’t even care. But i have and let me tell you, if you plunk down $100,000 (and i am being super conservative with that number) then you wouldn’t find it funny either. $100,000 is not even close to how much they pay to have a booth up. Costs for these shows includes: employees (salespeople, booth girls, people that sets up the booth etc), time and planning, cant list em aall but lots. Those that find this vid funny are probably kids.

I like it. Awesome tool to combat the average 3000 ads that a human sees in a DAY. I think exposing people to that trash should be illegal. The only reason the ppl behind the CES are pissed is because it might hurt their revenue. All’s fair in Class War.

Seems like some of you guys haven’t even graduated yet. Once you start working you’ll realise that people actually put in hard work to earn a living.

A lot of posts here say that gizmodo are stupid and dumb, yeah right! They knew what they where doing. I bet they got the most publicity (and as a result sales) out of all the companies that atended. Business is dog eat dog and I say bravo to gizmodo.
