Things haven’t been going well for BP. The cost of the oil spill cleanup will likely bankrupt the firm, leaving the U.S. and individuals to pick up the slack. So, rather than assuring that doesn’t happen, a bunch of rocket scientists, and I’m being sarcastic, have decided to speed up the bankruptcy by driving a boycott. This sets the bar on stupidity and got me thinking about other stupid things this week in technology. There is a lot to go around, including the fact that taking potshots at this many companies in one column isn’t likely the smartest thing I’ve done either.
Great job pointing out the stupidity of the BP Boycott.
If you really want things to change you've got to be as shrewd, intelligent & tactical as those who oppose your efforts.
Here are 10 Reasons your boycott does more harm than good:

I have unsubscribed to the daily feeds from technewsworld and will no longer use you as a source of information after your bigotted, rude remarks on BP boycotters.
I am a BP boycotter, and I am FAR from stupid. I'll send you my CV to prove it if you like. I live on the other side of the world from the Gulf, and I believe in voting with your wallet.
I am so furious with your short-sighted, rude and disrespectful comments that I am voting here too, not with my wallet this time but with my mouse. Regardless of the companies you've pissed off, you've now got over 600k of angry people who know your name. Well done.
