There's just been a report about this on the news and I looked up the full video on Youtube. It really is quite hilarious and you can see it here. Basically, a member of a Canadian band flew to Nebraska with United Airlines and they destroyed his Taylor guitar. He tried to get compensation but United refused so he posted a song about it on the internet and has since received his compensation and an apology from United. I just posted this because I think it's awesome and he deserves some recognition for his creativity. You can also download the song from iTunes.

Just saw this on the national news. Their share price has plummeted. That'll teach 'em.

It’s a great way to make a point, and it’s not done in a nasty or malicious way. Good on him, and yah boo sucks to United for breaking his instrument, and then refusing to compensate him for it.

In what sense of the word? Outstandingly good, or outstandingly violent with your luggage?
