Wasp Barcode’s New Corporate Video: It’s Ass-Kicking Awesome!

by John P.

Ok, I’ve got to give it up to Wasp Barcode Technologies for their new social media campaign launch. Here is an example of a big company actually embracing online marketing and social media channels. Not only that, but they are trying to tailor their message to an audience that is intollerant of corporate propaganda (namely YOU and ME) – and doing a great job at it!

Case in point, check out this deleted scene from Wasp’s video before we even get to the end product!

Cops Tase Boy With Broken Back 19 Times

August 11, 2008

I’ve written several times about Taser abuse, but this one takes the cake. I mean seriously, this cannot be explained. An unarmed 16 year old boy laying on the ground, below a 30 foot overpass, with a broken back and a broken foot muttering incoherently is tasered 19 times by police in Missouri. Their excuse: [...]

Teen Killed by a 37 Second Police Taser Discharge

August 11, 2008

Here is more evidence that police officers become lazy and trigger happy as soon as you put a Taser on their belt. Some kid gets all pissed off at work, and is ranting and raving at his boss. Which is undoubtedly wrong. So, I suppose they called the cops. When the officer, who from the [...]

Here is some breaking news. This video was only released yesterday, and it demonstrates a clear and frankly unbelievable abuse of power by a Utah Highway Patrol officer.

In the past I’ve written about the police tasering of a UCLA student for refusing to show his [...]

According to the LA Times: A report released today by a marijuana public policy analyst contends that the market value of pot produced in the U.S. exceeds $35 billion — far more than the crop value of such heartland staples as corn, soybeans and hay, which are the top three legal cash crops. … The [...]

Police Tasers 11 Year Old at School

December 1, 2006

Wow. I wish someone had a video of this… on one hand it would be hillarious. On the other hand, I wonder why a police officer had to resort to using a Taser to separate a little boy from a fight with a girl. I mean, what the heck? When I was a kid a [...]
