Vote now Rage against the machine -- for $52 [Reuters] One of the many great scenes from the movie Office Space is when the fed up software guys take a Louisville Slugger to a particularly offensive copy machine. Life is imitating art in a little Spanish village. A junkyard operator in Lubia has become a sort of stress therapist for the digital age. For a mere $52, folks who're teched out and teed off can get in touch with their inner Luddite and take a sledgehammer to cell phones, computers -- even cars and pictures of the boss. The junkyard provides the sledgehammer, helmet, overalls and goggles, as well as the heavy metal soundtrack -- you provide the rage. Each rage against the machine is limited to two hours, but no one has lasted more than 30 minutes so far. It's good cardio, too, so you'd think maybe this could be part of a holistic wellness program.   Contact Us Sales For sales inquiries, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial For feedback about any of our articles or to send us your article ideas, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Free E-Newsletters!
