So, this is just some fucked up shit...and further proof of just how messed up this world can be - especially us here in N.America (yeah, that meant the USA)...
http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/05/23/coca.cola.sentencing/index.html
Read the link - but in short, two employees got roughly 10 years in prison for attempting to sell Coca-Cola trade secrets to their rivals at Pepsi.
A whole FBI sting operation was used and everything...
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE USA?????
2 douchebags wanna pounce on one of Capitalism's most recognized and celebrated companies, while makin' a few shekels (ok, more like 1.5 million) on the side...so let 'em!!
Meanwhile we have Osama on the run, War in Afghanistan/Iraq, a destabilizing Middle-East, oh and lest we forget the crooks of Enron and their like, then the juicy part - rapists, murderers, drug dealers and drunk drivers getting off with slaps on the wrist, pedophiles getting to move into newly developed areas with throngs of kids...school shootings and increasing youth violence, and if that's not enough...add global warming and all the environmental shit into the mix (if you buy into that stuff)...oh, and then there's the problems we have dealing with natural disasters (Katrina...need I say more???)...
and what are George's boys busy with?? Protecting fuckin' Coca-Cola!!!! G-d forbid the syrupy-crack-like drink gets its secrets traded for cash to Pepsi...fuck Pepsi, fuck Coke...drink water...save the earth and save our fuckin' money!!!!!
FBI....seriously??? these douches can't even find a sharpened pencil or 19 terrorists plotting to blow up buildings...but Coca-Cola's at risk...quick get all available units...
Let those two Capitalists, trying to live out the American Dream - fuckin' over the competition and/or your hated boss....steppin' on anyone/anyplace/anytime/anyhow.... - let them free!!!
Get U2 on the phone...human rights case has just been noted...
Dumb fucks!
Arrrghhhh.......
Done (for now),
PEACE.

I just read this, and I am slightly plastered, but I disagree. Protecting patents and trademarks and corporate secrets are very important and very much essential to a functioning society. So what if Coke loses it's secrets and no action is taken? Well then, it is copied and cloned and made at a discount, and maybe Coke decides it's not worth it to continue...it goes out of business. Thousands out of work, millions lost in output. Other businesses with proprietary information (healthcare, research, biotech, cars etc...) suddenly can't protect their goods, due to this bad precedent. They stop producing, because it is not economically viable. The economy collapses and chaos reigns. So I say, G-d bless Coca Cola!
bite me.
hard.
Is this the same person that ordered a Diet Coke at dinner the other night?
