Hunter S. Thompson is a Crotchety Old Man Who Hates Technology
Brilliant writer, inventor of gonzo journalism, and angry man who left threatening, profanity-laden voicemail tirades to his AV dealer because his damn DVD player won't work. Hunter S. Thompson was everyman. His message below.
Thompson worked himself up so much during the duration of his message that it quickly spiraled out of control, when he goes so far as threatening to write a book about the guy who set up his entertainment system.
I write books! I write things that get out and people read! I'll ruin your fucking name, you goddamn idiots! Go to any book store, go to any magazine store, you can see what I can do to you...AND I WILL!
That's right, Hunter S. Thompson played the "Do you know who I am!" card with the guy who set up his DVD player. Amazing. If it's even possible, this makes us love him even more.
