From the “you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up-nor-would-you-want-to” file:
The Consumerist reports, “Reader K’s call to Dell tech support for his laptop resulted in the tech helping him break a different computer, then sending him a replacement laptop full of human pubic hair. After diagnosing a faulty power adapter with K’s laptop, the Dell technician asked him to plug the malfunctioning adapter into his other, out-of-warranty Dell to confirm the problem. K was reluctant, but complied, and fried his old laptop in the process. To their credit, Dell offered a replacement; unfortunately, it had a full bush.”
I reach the bottom of the box, pull out the laptop, and first thing I see is the top is covered in scratches. Some people may say that I should be happy since I was getting a newer model laptop to replace an old laptop with no warranty. My old laptop, however, was in great condition. When I opened up the new laptop, I saw the screen was scratched and dirty, and the keyboard was covered in debris. Wait, not debris….what is that? HAIRS!? Not just any hairs – these could only be described as pubes. I hate to be so crude, but pubes are pubes. Not the incidental curly hair, but rather mini-tufts between the keys. My only guess is that Ron Jeremy was the previous owner.

Lower case yes! The capitalized kind, no!
Dell – Land of Bush
literarily
<< I have to admit, I am a little skeptical, but if this is true, this guy deserves the nicest, most pimped out laptop Dell can muster as a peace-offering. >>
Dell should buy him a Macbook Hair … Oh- I mean Macbook Air.
Like…Ron Jeremy has been my one and only idol for as long as I remember, he said in a documentary that he gives hope to ugly men with respect to getting sex from women, which is SO true.
I think RJ would make an excellent president of the US

great, now make fun of hairy people. I am sure there was more, but they did their best to get the stuff off of it. Maybe it was a leased machine from a video porn website
All these comments and not one Clarence Thomas/ Anita Hill reference?
Am I that old?
MDW – include as in “include a pube on your coke can”
Michael Dell just sent him his sloppy seconds
What do they say about never buying a car made on a Friday? Obvious never buy a computer from a manufacturer that is shutting down US manufacturing plants and moving them out of the country!
I never owned a Dell….
What’s worse, the laptop or the pubes?
Is he going to use the hair samples as DNA evidence…..
Man, I’ve heard of cybersex but is this really how it’s done? Now that I think about it, my PowerBook is sexy and all, but even though I don’t have a girlfriend right now, I’ve never tried to hump it. This takes fanboyism to a “hole” new level.
Maybe Michael Dell just needed to get something off his chest!

Did it at least come with porn pre-installed?

This is what Michael Dell calls a hair raising experience…

What Michael Dell REALLY said about Apple so long ago was…
“Sell the stock and give the money back to the hair-holders”
That’s really, really, really gross.

Can you imagine something like this happening at Apple?
I bought a refurbished iMac for my parents and it was really like new.
The only exception was that it didn’t have the advertised 1 GB RAM but 2 GB
I hope they find the guy responsible for that and instead of just firing him, they should wax his whole body (and then fire him)
That’ll teach him.
Thinking about it, this guy must really be an IQ-equal-shoesize-idiot because you can do a DNA-test on all that hair and pin him down pretty quickly.

Dell’s New Company Slogan…
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!
Now there’s an article that I will NOT be combing through.

Dell now offers a brazilian wax for your laptop with every downgrade from Vista!
Well I guess the good news it was just pube hair. Perhaps next time it might be “ass hair”? YUCK! LOL
You think that’s bad…
Just imagine how disgusted he would have been if they shipped him a new laptop that had Vista pre-loaded on it.
i must say that as far as ways to quit a job with panache, this stunt requires a fairly large set of balls.
That explains why the shipping box was marked “Handle With Hair”.
Guess I better keep my day job.
