Asshat of the Month = United Airlines...

Heard a great story about an East Coast musician who had his expensive acoustic guitar broken due to United Airlines baggage handlers being witnessed throwing the guitars on the tarmac and how United refused to pay for damages. So after nearly a year of run-a-rounds from United, Dave Carroll decided to approach things from the stand point of what would Michael Moore do if he were a song writer?

Dave vowed to write 3 songs and produce 3 videos about the events. The 1st of these, United Breaks Guitars, is available on youtube (embedded below) and is one of, if not the highest, downloaded music videos on youtube.

And United Airlines is beating a path to his door to make things right in the aftermath of the shitstorm of bad publicity that followed. Apparently even CNN's Wolf Blitzer featured the story and video on The Situation Room.

Good stuff...
