New Depression Trend: Laid-Off Workers Attack Each Other

This time, Code Pink has gone too far.
Bush Jr. came to Washington so that Republicans could “change the tone” from that awful blow-jobbing Clinton regime, which had stolen the W’s out of our alphabet they were so mean.
It’s beginning! WELCOME TO THE THUNDERDOME!
What do you expect?–they work at a Chevy dealership. As if that brand identity isn’t completely about stupid self-destructive macho behavior.
“For the last time — you cannot return your Hummer! Now get the hell out of here!”
Gallowglass: I’m thinking more like The Running Man, with laid-off auto workers chasing Rick Wagoner through a maze with a flamethrower. I’d Pay-per-View it.
Coming soon to an arena near you…bread and circuses.
He needs a knife or something if he’s planning on eating that old guy and wearing his skin. Salt might help as well.
And in the (none too distant) future, we’ll probably look on these as the good times — before the Great Collapse.
this is exactly how Glenn Beck had foretold in his prophecy!
Argh! No, you idiots! You attack the rich people! The RICH PEOPLE!
We need some Revolution 101 courses, I swear.
We can’t even get laid-off worker violence correct– you’re supposed to punch the people who laid you off, not other people who got laid off with you. Why would they accept your LinkedIn invitation if you sucker punched them?
We were shopping for a car recently, and let me tell you, somehow that grey-goateed guy in the black leather jacket worked at every car dealership we visited. So I don’t know why he’s so upset about not working at that particular dealership.
I would find this a lot funnier if I weren’t in the midst of a horribly depressing nine month long job search.
Welcome to Hobbes’ State of Nature, which is a Warre of all against all, and life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.
…this is nothing compared to what is going on at the FORD dealerships!
Hey Sheila, come and see what these dumb Americans are doing now! [We still got hobo corn as well as beans, suckas]
See if this cheers you up:

“Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet”
Gallowglass: More like, “Welcome to the PLEASUREDOME!“
what a gay fight. no punches, just a guy in a member’s only jacket getting pushed by a plumper in a pink hat.
Time to bring back the Bumfights DVDs.
LIKE A ROCK (across the face).
And you people claim there is no need for firearms.
With a little bit of hardware, that “simply fist fight” could have made the “Going Postal” segment of every national news broadcast.
Aurelio: “Nasty, brutish and short” - and that’s just Rahm Emmanuel.
Fat Guy in Red Shirt: Put that coffee down!! Coffee’s for closers only.
[Old Guy who looks like Jack Lemmon in a black Members Only jacket scoffs]
Fat Guy in Red Shirt: Do you think I’m fucking with you? I am not fucking with you.

SpecialHorse: Chinese universities need English teachers. Google “teach english china”. Just have a standard accent and a can-do attitude, and you’ll do fine. It won’t hurt if you can ride a bike.

For all we know, this guy IS attacking the person who laid him off. The problem is, HE got laid off about five minutes after that. Later, they went out for a beer.
Looked like a Fnord Escort they were fighting in front of.
Of course they’re pissed off. Barry just told GM to lose a couple of divisions and stop making shitty Pontiacs and Buicks to focus on making shitty Chevys and GMC trucknutz, or Rahm would do it for them.
SpecialHorse: The midst? How do you know its not the beginning of a 9 year job search?
Min: Except without the bread.
WIld Turkey: WIN
Truth be told, I feel most sorry for the trash can. It got its ass kicked. By the time they were done, it looked like there had been a drive by on a Fisher Price man.
More proof that our economy is finding equal librium.
I didn’t want the rustproofing either, but I was a hell of a lot calmer about it.
Aurelio: Hey, there, Mister! Nasty, brutish, and short have been the dominant themes of my life!
Tra: Those were the richest people that he knew of.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and bet tollars-to-trucknutz that he self-identifies as an evangelical xtian.
I’m glad at the end they both realized they are brothers.
I suspect the guy with the necktie and black coat is the boss who just fired the others. I’m surprised he didn’t get kicked a few times as well.

Unemployed hobos shoving each other is the Sign of the Apocalypse? Not even Nostradamus would do that one. Looks like it’s the fault of the 24-hour news cycle with its ‘Horse Removed from Ditch’ features.
Had Americans recognized the genius embodied in the Aztec van this might never have happened.
I don’t care what it takes! I want the Obama/Biden bumper sticker from my repo’ed car!
People, this is how it’s done: http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/03/31/france.hostages.caterpillar.workers/index.html
