I don’t know, the whole thing made me just…sad.

No details yet on what set him off, but I’m following the Russian blogs where this was originally reported — once there’s more information, I’ll post here.

Maybe it’s a viral video to advertise pepper spray, Thorazine or pre-frontal lobotomies.

None of the monitors that get thrown are ever plugged in.

Ever try to throw a CRT monitor that is hooked to either power or a PC?

It just isn’t real…

Look at the two women in the cubicle where he began his attack. Having narrowly escaped death, they stand there, watching?

Wouldn’t any woman in that situation want to flee? To get away from the psychonaut? Yet they remain, even as the attack escaletes, even moving closer at one point.

Seems bogus to me.

There were similar TV ads back on ZDTV (aka TechTV) back around 2000 – a cube slave takes his CRT monitor and drops it down the stairs. Remember those?

1. My Office, (In America) still has a few 15′ monitors left. Not every company has a big budget for fancy flat screens.

2. I’ve seen people go ape-sh*t in my office or other places. People tend to stare, because they are shocked or want to watch. Especially here in NYC.

3. If a Man is going psycho, he can easily pull a monitor loose from a computer. Remember, there are two tiny little screws holding it in place, and a man raging would be able to rip them off.

4. If you are a woman, and a raging hostile guy hurls a monitor into your lap, who’s to say you wouldn’t be in shock and just freeze? I say it’s real.

-Old monitors,
-no cables attached,
-cubicle walls that don’t seem to be screwed together,
-the woman who gets hit initially doesn’t LEAVE and in fact, several times seems to move closer to the guy when he is standing on the desks,
-although her injury appears to be the head, I don’t see the monitor actually hit her head,
-center stage action
-weapon very easily taken away by hero #1

well just about anything youd like

I remember a viral video, maybe one of the first, called Bad Day aka Computer Rage where a guy sitting at his desk smacks his computer monitor then bashes it with his keyboard.

That video was an ad for Loronix Information Systems

I can believe the reactions. People are clueless how to react in unusual situations. And curious.

Or he was fired.

Or he is idiot.

Or that´s a fake.

I’m ready to say that there is a higher chance it is real than not.

Although he does take out at least one monitor that is facing us and it is off. But nobody was sitting at that desk in the beginning.

Good find on the alternate videos, btw – I could see the people filming in the security footage and wondered if we’d ever see the cellphone view.

Regarding the monitors, I think if I had lost it and was going crazy, I might be more inclined to see the monitors that were facing me. Monitors facing away from me don’t catch the eye as much.

If it’s fake, it’s well done. But if something like this happened in my office, we’d have a couple people pull out their cellphone cameras too, and if the company was small enough you KNOW all that stuff would end up on youtube. Curious that none of the footage came from a first person though.

“that would be kind of an interesting marketing device, release this video and then a few days later release the video from the phones”

marketing what exactly?
