Make fun of the big boys and you end up getting hurt.

Remember the prank pulled by The Yes Men on Big Oil about the spoof product Vivoleum?

Well, it appears that the big boys at Exxon were not amused - it seems that they actually managed (allegedly) to get the ISP to pull The Yes Men site and their email capabilities, for a while at least.
See The Inquirer for details.

Isn't it amazing just how much the school playground pecking order and real world big business are alike? Make too much fun of the big boys and you will usually end up getting hurt.
