    Warehouse people don't give a rat's ass what they send you. Some dude in sector B of Motorola's Morlock Slave Unit probably just grabbed the closest box and tossed it in and slapped on the appropriate label.

    Seriously, these reports are getting tedious. I'd say that more than 90 percent of them are completely made up by corporate haters trying to prove their point that corporations and capitalism are evil.

    @SpencerBabanya: That is inaccurate. This happens everyday. I am not some eccofreak, but do think it inappropriate to have so much material waste. It may not be the most cost effective way to have more than one box size for a company, but cost should not always be the bottom line.

    I hope he put out a missing ears report with the local authorities because clearly they escaped from the package prior to their final delivery.

    I got your next story!


    Hold on, let me find a large empty box and throw in something really small and claim it was shipped to me that way!


    I smell a Pulitzer!

    @BeerManMike:


    Note to Mike: You really honestly think our readers are making this shit up? Really? You have an impressive faith in corporate America, not to mention in the industriousness of Giz readers.


    Note to staff: Make sure we don't run any "ridiculous packaging" pictures from BeerManMike. Cuz he's probably faking it.

    Perhaps reader Thomas could avoid being such a Negative Nellie and see this as fortuitous. 320 cubic inches would easily accommodate, say, one human head and a pair of hands. Put that box to good use, I say!

    @the new face of racial america: Excellent observation. My, uhh...corporation...has immediate openings for a man of your obvious perceptive talents. Please make an appointment to discuss with my associates, Bruno and Bubba.

    @Con Seannery doesnt care about the iPhone, hates Facebook: Neither I nor any of my associates nor any member of my family had anything to do with that particular box nor its delivery. And, naturally, I have witnesses who can prove it--indeed, the very best witnesses money can buy.


    BTW, Con Seannery, did you see today's story about Facebook commenting?
