Bonsai Kitten… Hahahaha!!! That was an EXCELLENT prank pulled by students from MIT. They used some really creative writing and Photoshopped pictures to create this website.

What was surprising was the number of morons who believed that this was true! All those stupid PETA and Greenpeace terrorists la.

This is totally random but when you started writing about a dog in a box with a tube I thought of the Bonsai Kittens...

vincent – He might have not used the correct analysis tools to aid his cost saving effort. But hey, at least that ‘idiot’ tried… instead of doing nothing but complain all day… right?

arkane – Nahhh, Americans generally waste more food than their dogs… Why bother…

low2215 – Errr… Six Sigma and Lean aren’t quite the same thing, though both are often linked to cost saving efforts. Six Sigma is a concept to identify process variations through statistical analysis (or something like that), but Lean is about how not to financially fuck yourself up by spending on stuff you wouldn’t want to spend on.

adrian – In large corporates, the boss don’t actually ‘earn more’ when his direct reports got their costs cut… but he does get the credit for a job well done on reducing the $$$ spent. And that reduced amount, will become one’s baseline for subsequent year’s target… until that somebody eventually fail to meet his goal and get the boot at the ass. That’s why, it is always wise not to be too good, as you’ll only going to set the bar higher for yourself (as expectations grow).

There is always a cause for cost-saving, or the so-called lean system. The purpose of all these is to:

1. Let the boss cut your cost down so he can earn more.
2. If big company, the share holder will be happy to earn more, at the cost of the workers.

But if you look at it the other way, when a company is wasting money on useless things, they are in no better shape financially, so with cost-saving, it can boost the earning up, and use those savings into expanding, or even rewarding the workers. So yeah, you get the idea.

You should submit your design to the American Inventor and go for the one million bucks prize money.

Funnily enough, an idiot I knew at my oldworkplace tried something like that – cost saving (not the dog machine).

However, that idiot’s proposed change was to cost much much more money to implement compared to the perceived savings. Imagine having to build a RM100 machine to save RM1/year….or something along those lines.

His proposal presentation to the management lasted 10 minutes…no shits.
