What happens when United Airlines breaks a passenger's guitar, and refuses to come good for it?  He writes a song, makes a video, and posts it on YouTube!

This is for all of us who have been pushed around by a big corporation at some point, and have felt we've been fighting a losing battle from the start.

Listen carefully to the words, as it paints a pretty good picture of how he really feels.

This thing went viral in 24hrs...

Within 3 days is was a feature story and CNN, Good Morning America
and few other bigtime US shows.

United is taking an absolute PUMMELING on this one ...

A good cautionary tale to other service industries
that the little guy now has a big stick with the Internet...

Apparently United has offered to replace his guitar now (he says too little, too late.  If you want to pay, give the money to a charity).  They have also offered to buy his song, and use the video in their training courses.  (yeah, rght...get it pulled off the internet asap, please!)

The singer says there are two more songs/videos in the works on the same topic.

Cute song, but I got the point rather quickly.   A 4 1/2 minute song.... ...I think he's pissed still....
