Anonymous is getting ready for the biggest fight of their group’s history, ramping up to take on a Mexican drug cartel after one of their own was kidnapped by the drug lords.
The Zetas are one of the biggest players in Mexico’s drug war, which has resulted in about 40,000 deaths since 2006. Earlier this month, a YouTube video showed a man in a Guy Fawkes mask who claimed to speak for Anonymous warning the Zetas that the collective would reveal the names of people who had aided the cartel, including taxi drivers, police officers and journalists, if a kidnapped member of Anonymous weren’t released.
Now that’s a cause we can all get behind.
Shomer-Tec has a page of merchandise for sale called “Revenge Products.” There are gadgets that disable electronics or just annoy people, and bottles of nasty things like Liquid Roadkill.
These “special ingredients” are just what you may need in some “special situations”. Manufactured under contract by DSG Laboratories to fulfill the occasional unusual operational requirement of CIA and other federal agents, these products are now available for non-governmental sale. Use only with utmost discretion.
Before you use this incredibly foul putrifier, take a moment to reflect on all the roadkill left out in the scorching sun. With this nice little vial, you now have the ability to creatively re-create this special odor at a time and place of your choosing.
I wouldn’t use this on my worst enemy. Link -via J-Walk Blog
First it was factory work to China, then programming jobs to India, and now, it seems that revenge can also be outsourced. Here’s the story of Alibis and Paybacks, an unusual service business started by Adrienne Ferguson and Michelle Duke – it offers paybacks both large and small:
Alibis & Paybacks also offers a "lies hotline" service for those who want an excuse to skip work, who need an alibi to give a spouse or who want to break a date "without looking like a flake." The "cuss-out line" service allows one to anonymously tell another person off. But the revenge flier service is the most popular.
Some involve consumer disputes, but others are more personal. A woman recently hired Alibis & Paybacks to publicly embarrass her ex-husband.
Duke said fliers — placed around his work and new home — demanded that the man spend money on his children "instead of strippers." She said she hopes their work will help the woman’s efforts to receive more child support from her former husband.
Most of the time the leafleting is a quick-hit-and-get-out affair. Once, however, the distributors were still in the area when a man accused of cheating on his girlfriend discovered the fliers and frantically tried to retrieve them from car windshields and street poles outside the other woman’s home. The leaflets suggested the man would be rushing home to his mother after leaving his new squeeze.
"The look on his face was priceless," Duke said. "He could have had a piece of paper taped to his back saying ‘I’m humiliated.’ "

Marvin Heemeyer spent a year and a half modifying a Komatsu D335A bulldozer into an “armored vehicle of vengeance”. On June 4th, 2004, he rampaged through the town of Granby, Colorado, smashing vehicles and buildings, including the homes of those he felt had plotted against him.
The overencumbered vehicle was obviously difficult to control, and swerved widely through the streets, but Heemeyer was still able to seek out and and hit his specific targets. The bulldozer effortlessly demolished cars and buildings, including the home of a former mayor, the office of a newspaper that had sided against him in an editorial, the businesses of a former city councilman, and the city hall. Despite the destruction of property, no people had been injured or killed. killdozer_city_hallThe remains of Granby city hallThe Granby Police requisitioned an industrial scraper to pit heavy equipment against heavy equipment, but the Killdozer merely shoved the lighter adversary aside.
Over $7 million in damage was done that day. Read the entire story at Damn Interesting. Link
When "Valeria A." caught her fiancé fondling another girl’s boobs on Facebook a few days before their wedding, she decided to get even, guerilla-style!
She and a pal printed and stuck up hundreds of posters at train stations and office blocks around the city where her fiance and their friends work.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. And in this case, with a coconut. Here’s the story of a monkey named Brother Kwan, who was overworked by his master climbing trees and fetching coconuts to sell:
The newspaper said that Leilit Janchoom, 48, had beaten the monkey whenever he showed any hesitance to climb a tree.
The owner was insistent because he got the equivalent of 4p for every coconut picked.
But the monkey – it is claimed – apparently found the work boring, strenuous and unrewarding.
So, the monkey chucked a well-aimed coconut on Janchoom, and killed him!

Here’s a "man fights City Hall" story, with a twist: when Old Town Alexandria’s architectural review committee forbid Michael Zarlenga from altering historic property and renovating his store, he decided to exact a little revenge:
To many in Old Town Alexandria, the sex shop that opened recently on King Street is nothing short of scandalous, a historical desecration just blocks from the boyhood home of Robert E. Lee.
But to Michael Zarlenga, it’s justice.
Zarlenga spent $350,000 on plans to expand his hunting and fishing store, the Trophy Room. He worked with city officials for almost two years and thought he had their support — until the architectural review board told him he couldn’t alter the historic property.
Furious and out of money, Zarlenga rented the space to its newest occupant, Le Tache.
"I can’t say I didn’t know it would ruffle feathers," said Zarlenga, 41. "Actually, I was hoping for a fast-food chain because I thought that would be more annoying to the city."
