Bad Day (also known as
Computer rage or Office rage) is the name of a 25-second viral video that
has circulated online since 1997.[citation needed]
The video contains footage of a man in his office cubicle, increasingly
irritated with the lack of response from his computer. First he slaps the
monitor, generating some concern from a person in a neighbouring cubicle.
Then he punches the keyboard, picks it up and uses it like a bat to smash
the monitor off the desk and out of the cubicle. He then gets up from his
chair and, as his worried neighbor observes, delivers a final kick to the
downed screen.
The video clip was part of a marketing campaign by Loronix Information
Systems (as of 2008[update] a subsidiary of Verint Systems[1]) and stars
Vinny Licciardi, the company's shipping manager. Licciardi appeared in a
series of promotional videos extolling the benefits of Loronix's special
brand of digital video recording systems. Loronix was the first company to
develop a digital video surveillance system to replace video tape recorders.
"Bad Day" was originally created and released to Loronix's manufacturer
representatives. However, "Bad Day" made the largest impression and was
easily distributed via e-mail thanks to its reasonable size (416KB). The
origin was revealed in 1998 originally by CNN and later in print by Security
Distribution Magazine.[2]
According to user interaction expert Frank Thissen, though fictional, it
provides an example of how user expectations from longstanding social
conventions can be frustrated through poor programming. In the Bad Day
scenario, "The expectations of the user are obviously badly neglected", and
the computer's lack of reaction or poor reaction is understood in the
context of a human social situation, such as someone walking away in the
middle of a conversation.[3]
A 2005 spoof was produced by GoViral for the network security firm Netop,
showing a computer fighting back.[
