FRIEND OF FUTURE FOOD Bayer AG has earned itself the attention of the hactivist group Anonymous and might want to prepare for some web site downtime and public relations scurrying.
In an open letter Anonymous accused Bayer of having committed crimes, and said that it would not let it go unpunished, so it has started Operation Green Rights.
"You have won our attention after decades of greedy abuses of humanity and nature. Bayer - we see you profiting off of death and destruction! We see you escape unscathed from justice!", it said.
"Bayer AG pharmaceutical (formerly known as IG Farben) has been involved in countless corporate abuses, which have resulted in the death of thousands in the last century. These abuses have been consistently ignored, and cannot be ignored further."
The accusations Anonymous leveled at the German firm included a range of abuses. For example, Anonymous said that Bayer had disregarded "proper and thorough investigation of chemicals, vaccines and substances", is destroying the environment, and employed Nazis. Still, at least it's not the News of the World.
Anonymous has had a range of targets. Bayer AG joins amongst others Viacom, Sony, Visa and Mastercard. µ

You clearly get off on this kind of thing, but there's no need to share your private fantasies with the rest of the Internet. Wipe up and take it offline, moron!
Not true, they have not been ignored - just swept under the rug, like so many other industrial missteps from other companies (Bhopal, anyone ?).
I actually believe that it is not even Bayer's fault - it's the people who have short memories, and no regard for history. Heck, they can hardly remember their cousin's birthday, how do you expect them to remember something that "is so last century" ?
If Anonymous really wants to hurt the people responsible, they'll have to hack the mail, Facebook accounts and Tweets of the entire Western civilization.
Legion they may be, but I doubt they are legion enough for that.
*munches popcorn*
Hack and ye shall spend time in the slammer.
I think its time to show some of these "Anonymous" geeks what the inside of a federal prison cell with a celly named Bubba looks like. Seriously.
Prison will scare the underoos off of these losers. All you need to do is catch a few and they will scatter like roaches, which they are.
Monsanto - pure evil at so many levels.
