"We've created a system where companies get massively punished for doing good things for humanity."

-- funnyman Lee Camp, riffing on the hoaxes in which Dow and GE were, shockingly, purported to be acting responsibly

"Now here's the interesting part: During the half-hour when everyone thinks the hoax is true, the company's stock tumbles like crazy. GE lost billions. Dow lost billions. This means we've created a system where companies get massively punished for doing good things for humanity."

Our financial market actively rewards being a giant cunt, like a radioactive Ann Coulter who's grown to Godzilla proportions. Does that not freak anyone out? So if a corporation announces it will hostilely take over a 50-year-old locally owned company and fire all the employees, it's given the financial equivalent of a high five and a reach-around. If on the other hand it announces it will give free AIDS medication to the dying people of Ghana, then Wall Street knocks it unconscious and draws the word "queer" on its forehead.

WOW VIDEO!!!
