I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

1. More of those office people should have been overweight or obese.
2. No crying males depicted.
3. No recommendation to bring a gun to work for self-defense. :(

And the security guard was useless, so that was realistic.

He was too busy chatting up an attractive female.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Wouldn't bringing a gun to work get you fired?
Not unless you fire first.

Maybe that's the shooter in the video is doing.
Well ideally, people should be educated on preventing this crap like identifying and quarantining disgruntled workers, the likeliest source of workplace violence. Even further, K-12 education should focus on mental/emotional training and humanistic ethics cultivation.

I always thought security guards are mainly for keeping bums out, not real security.

They are for deciding if you get new chairs or a new copier.

That and escorting terminated employees to the parking lot.

If there is a golf cart joust, the security guards at my old employer could dismount the attacker.

Watched the first 30 seconds, it's a comedy sketch isn't it.
All the response videos are awesome.  Thank heaven that gun nuts are few and far between up here, and haven't got a huge and powerful lobby group for their antisocial hobby.
