HP the Victim of Enterprising Greenpeace Stunt

Posted by samzenpus on from the set-phasers-to-ineffective dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Employees at Hewlett-Packard in Palo Alto received a shock this morning as they checked their voicemail and found that each and every one of them had received a message from Captain James T. Kirk, AKA William 'The Shat' Shatner, upbraiding the company for abandoning their plans to remove toxins from its hardware. The organization behind this stunt was Greenpeace, who, to underline their point, scaled the building and painted 'Hazardous Products' on the roof with toxin-free paint."

    Someone should go to jail for trespassing.
    Terrorist actions should not be overlooked.

    Can't you just hang, draw and quarter them as an expression of traditional American respect for dissenting opinion and tea parties?
