About

Bad Day, also known as Man Destroys Computer, is a short viral video featuring security camera footage of a man in his office cubicle who bashes his CRT computer monitor and keyboard in a fit of rage.

Origin

Starting in 1997, a short video named "badday.mpg" began circulating online via email, which showed security footage of an angry office worker (played by Vinny Licciardi) who smashes his desktop computer in a fit of rage. The footage was staged and filmed by the Colorado-based technology company Loronix to promote their digital video surveillance systems and was initially distributed via CD-ROM.
