I doubt it’s staged, note the monitor hitting the woman in the face and chest. The monitor’s weight looked about right based on the way the guy threw it.
I got 82% for destruction, 100% for distance throwing the monitor. I could give the guy in the video a run for his money, even if I don’t have access to a pickaxe.
The date on the camera is 5/23/2008 and the time stamp starts at 12:10 p.m. and continues to change until the end of the video when it reads 12:13 p.m. This might be real, the time lapse of the camera is consistent with the length of the video. Those people are packed in like sardines in a can. No wonder the guy flipped out.
The “weapon” is a coat rack that is originally standing by the door in front of a file cabinet in the far corner. During the brief interruption in the video, the guy gets ahold of it and you’ll see it’s no longer in front of the file cabinet. There’s something fishy about that interruption.
When I worked in the cube farm, I totally wanted to tear it apart.
Why does somebody always have to spoil the fun by pointing out that it might be staged? Who cares?
Here’s the translated version.
Ok, I admit it.
It was me.
I wasn’t off my meds.
I had just installed Vista.
User Account Control was just driving me up the wall.
Allow? Cancel?
Kill! Kill! Kill!

My kinda guy! Jeez, I wonder what meds he missed. Maybe it was a tranquilizer gun.
#26 – ridlr – how come everyone is using crt displays?
There are quite a few offices who still got the good old CRTs.

I saw that video, which game me two observations.
(1) They cubicles are tiny! What a horrible place to work.
(2) What kind of business sets up a surveillance camera of their office workers?
Based on these two observations, I think it was a crappy place to work and they might have had it coming.

Well, it’s official then; this is just some sort of elaborate hoax.
I vote for “real”. People got hurt with the thrown monitors. “Weapon looked to me like a T-Square used in drafting.
Psychotic Break looked pretty real especially the second camera. God bless cell phones. Anyone have luck finding the original?
If that woman who got hit in the chest with the crt monitor was acting, I’ll eat my hat AND vote for her at the Oscars.
#23 Jäger, Thanks a lot . I snorted diet coke up my nose….
