Greenpeace attacks HP, quite literally
Graffiti on the roof, Shatner on the phone
Greenpeace eco-mentalists have managed to climb on top of HP's main building in Palo Alto, California, and paint a huge "Hazardous Products" sign on the roof.
Activists are cross about HP's broken promises on eliminating toxic chemicals used in its products by the end of 2009. They took their time painting the sign, and apparently managed to cover 11,500 square feet of HP's roof, that's about twice the size of an average basketball court. Of course, they used non-toxic children's finger paint to put their message across.
As if this wasn't enough, Greenpeace unleashed William Shatner against unsuspecting HP employees. A number of HP employees apparently received voice mail messages from Shatner, but it's unclear if he was singing at the time. We hope not.
