This is the wierdest thing I’ve seen in a long time. By far.<\/p>\n

Totally Awesome Computers shut down today, and owner Dell Schanze is blaming the media, or more accurately- spouting off like a mad man. A few of my favorite quotes:<\/p>\n

“You are angels of Satan,”
“all of the media in Utah are liars and murderers.”<\/b><\/p>\n

The closing of the company will leave around 80 people without jobs, although PC Laptops (another crazy company, if you judge by their advertisements) will be hiring around thirty of Totally Awesome’s employees.<\/p>\n

In response to the question of what would happen to his employees, Dell replied “The blood of these people is on your hands. You just destroyed the greatest computer company of all time.”<\/b><\/p>\n

Wait…Totally Awesome Computers was the “greatest computer company of all time?”<\/i> That’s probably news to the computer community at large. <\/p>\n

My guess as to why “the greatest computer company of all time” is now closed? Dell spent all the profits on trophies and awards for his own company. (Probably got the idea from “personal medals<\/a>” in this year’s Olympics)<\/p>\n

And finally, my favorite Dell Schanze quote: <\/p>\n

“You’re angels of Satan, and that’s horrible. I can say to the people of Utah, please pray for all the news people, because if you die right now, your souls and eternal salvation is in serious jeopardy.”<\/b><\/p>\n

To get the full effect, you’ve got to check out the video from KSL Here<\/a> (you’ll need Real player ). The video is priceless.<\/p>\n

Rumors are the IRS is auditing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
