HP the Victim of Enterprising Greenpeace Stunt

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."

But that black paint...

... would cause more heat. That white roof is designed to reduce the amount of heat produced. When they added black to the roof, it just caused the roof to be inefficient. Looks like greenpeace is trying to increase the amount of carbon produced by air conditioning.

Apple now sells products because they are the greenest.

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?

I don't believe Greenpeace (or rather their affiliated extremist organizations) is above threatening the lives or safety of those they disagree with.

Greenpeace does not have any "affiliated extremist organizations." There is the issue of Greenpeace UK, an anarchist group who trademarked (ironic?) the name in Britain before GP could, they certainly are not above violence (even against GP itself). But GP's non-violence is a core corporate policy, and the reason, for example, that Paul Watson left GP to found Sea Shepard.

This particular belief of yours is not founded in reality. Or perhaps you are getting GP confused with Earth First!?

I remember them burning a housing development on the outskirts of Phoenix with no regard for any homeless who may have been squatting inside.

Not GP nor any affiliated organization, sorry.

If I owned a business Greenpeace disagreed with and they sent their toadies (who they would deny have anything to do with them) ...

If these people don't id as GP, how would you know they had anything to do with GP? Or do the voices tell you?

... around to "shut me down" I'm afraid they would be recycled in parts deep in an injection well where no one would ever ever ever find them.

Yeah, sure you would tough guy. You know after dealing with softies like the DGSE, I'm sure GP activists must be shaking in their boots just to know you're out there! Have you considered surgery for that enlargement problem?

Protecting others from future strong arming by extremists is priceless.

Got a mirror handy?
