Hexus boss tasers employee
SO OVER at Hexus.net we have a video of Hexus man David Ross delivering a bolt of high voltage to his employee Nick, who takes it like a man and falls over screaming and writhing in agony.
Ross shows rather too much Schadenfreude in the exercise of this managerial "duty", we feel.
As Charlie D once said to me after a very boring meeting with five Intel suits: "You know Mike, tasers are legal in this country. If you'd tasered that Intel guy and when the cops questioned you and you said 'I feared I would come to irreparable harm', we’d all of testified that indeed we were all close to a living death."
The video is here. On the bright side, Nick gets to flirt with the pretty American reporter after his electrocution. µ

Right, let's get this straight.

I was damn well tasered, I just didn't get shot with the barbs.

Instead, two electrodes were hooked up to my socks, which were then connected to a standard taser handset... we picked the leopard skin one I think...

I was given a two second blast, which I was told later, would hurt more than getting shot with the barbs as the resistance over my skin is much greater than through my admittedly ample flesh.

However, if you're still doubting and perhaps not even happy about it, go get yerself zapped and post the vid up somewhere.

Keyboard warriors... now THERE'S a reason to be tasered.
Tasers (and the like); their use and misuse. It's a huge and complicated topic. It requires a twenty-foot long webblog to even start to address the many issues.

Yeah ok make tasering entertainement so the cops have a nice excuse to do it to people.
Here's my stance: taser me, get a bullet in your eye in return,. then we'll discuss the differences afterwards ok?
He was not electrocuted because if he had been he wouldn't have gotten up and the exhibition hall would smell of cooked pork.

Definition of electrocuted:

To kill by electricity.

Still a nasty shock though.
If Charlie doesn't get himself snapped with a certain porn star over at the Adult Entertainment Expo then I vote he gets zapped.

Go on, go confuse Ron some more!

Reynod...Toms guys already did it mid '07. Check it out:

He didn't actually get tasered ... they wired an allegedly similar device to his boots, and then hit him with 2 seconds of current (rather than the 30 seconds that a real taser would have delivered.
Technically he wasn't tasered, he was electrocuted. They clipped two leads (not even taser barbs) to his ankles and threw a switch for a couple seconds.

For all the drama, if your going to say you got tasered, ACTUALLY get tasered FFS.

Yeah, you could start a whole series of human test subject videos. Testing out stab proof vests, slash resistant gloves, radiation suits, steel toe boots...

You could do that in association with Myth Busters. Its not exactly IT, but I'm sure *some* people would love to see Inq hacks get abused in such ways.


P.S.

I am not among those people.
What the... he had to pull the "don't tase me bro"?

Apparently it does hurt and I'm glad he didn't die, and damn that american reporter was cute.
Ok ... which hack IT journo is going to man up and be the first to be tasered??

The only three I can think of with the nads are:

Charlie
Mike 
Fuad.

Can't see any of the Toms guys volunteering tho Kubicki might offer to hold the gun if one of you guys are on the "sharp end" ....

heh heh

You guys hold a raffle and get back to us ok??
