PayPerPost Bumfight

Watching this poor women above be denegraded by having “I HEART HP” written on her forehead with a Sharpe by the slimebuckets over at PayPerPost hit me as nausiatingly familiar. Like I had seen it in some science fiction film where poor people had the cold hard boots of corporations gone wild pressed against their neck and were being forced to shill for their brands.

Then it hit me–I had seen this before. The underground Bumfights video series where a group of really demented and sad people paid bums to beat each other, and gave some poor soul $200 to tattoo their logo on his head.

If I was an HP employee I would be disgusted right now. What they hell are you guys thinking!??!?! You’re Class A brand you don’t need to resort to this kind of shilling. Really.
