In case you hadn’t heard, some Canadian decided to make a website devoted to destroying an iPod. He sought out donations from people over the internet with the promise that once he reached $400 he would go buy an iPod and then smash it in the store.
Well… He raised the money, bought the iPod, and smashed it. The video has now been released. In case you were thinking of going to go watch it, however, you should think again.

The video is 10 minutes long. The first five-and-a-half minutes are him buying the stupid thing. (Maybe if you have never experienced purchasing an item in a retail store, this part would be interesting. For the rest of us - it’s boring.)
The actual smashing? He stomps on it a bit in the store, gets kicked out - and then hits it with a hammer in the parking lot. The interesting part of the video lasts only 15 seconds. (And it’s not that interesting).
Next time a site like this springs up, I hope they are actually film majors with access to high-speed cameras and friends with dynamite. This just plain wasn’t that intersting.
I give it two thumbs down. Way down.
