A few months back PartyAftermath wrote about a photo contest on Lenzr about Everyday Tangled Web which was a fairly popular contest seeing how most homes in the GTA are a jungle mixed up mess. After the contest was over with the company who sponsored the prize, S.E. Telecom became fairly inspired by the thought and how a lot of business telecommunication companies go through disastrous mix ups day in and day out.
Saying this they became interested in making a video The Wall of Shame that was dedicated to tangled webs in everyday situations.
If my office area was in this situation I do not know what I would do.
