Chinese Ad Resellers On Anti-Google Hunger Strike
itwbennett writes "About 200 employees from 7 Chinese ad reselling companies are protesting outside Google's offices in Shanghai in response to Google terminating their contracts, said Fan Meiyong, a representative for the group. 40 of those have gone on a hunger strike that will last until the group's grievances are resolved, Fan added. The ad resellers have said they have held talks with Google about the matter but they still don't know why the contracts were terminated. The group has even written an open letter to Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, asking them for their intervention."
Get out the Google Tanks! Oops, wrong regime. Get out the Google StreetView data collection vehicles! If they're not jumping from the building yet, then things are pretty good in Shanghai. Damn, I love me some Shanghai tiles...
This is the NSA, we're gonna geet U h@x0r5! Also, what is a h@x0r5?
It's a simple answer. We'll just alter Google Maps to show Shanghai in the middle of the China Sea, and then *blub*, that will be the end of that.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
In china you can hire professional mourners for funerals, so I wonder if you can hire professional hunger strikers.
Sure you can, but try to avoid the ones with the "Will Hunger Strike For Food" signs...

Cool. I'd like to hire one of them for my next design review at work.
hunger strikes don't cost anything so anyone can do them.

Yes you can. But tell them you'll pay after the job. If they are good at their job, they'll die!!!!
Whatever they are, I bet they get first class seating on the B-Ark.
Don't be ridiculous, that's a totally legitimate business practice. You're probably just upset because you don't have enough money to put yourself on an even playing field with the big boys... maybe you should try working harder and having some personal accountability. Commie.
Try not to take me more seriously than I take myself.
