lol, i thought anythingbutipod.com was bad enough, have you guys checked this site out?

http://smashmyipod.com/

the write up is rather amusing....

"We scouted the store today, its very poorly built. Cheap wooden displays, and cheap wooden floor. Breaking the iPod in there without destroying the store will be a challenge."

wait, they collected $400 and went out and bought a 20gb iPod Color which retails for $299 (w/ tax may ~330), and who knows might even have been on discount cause of the 5G release? Haha,

They're based in Canada so the price is marked up

 

[atart]

oh yea that makes sense then, but did they mean they're smashing an ipod video or that they are making a video of smashing a 4g ipod?

 

[hoob]

Yeah, $400 Canadian is about $340 American. So, that's about right.

 

[PodMan]

ah ok, just read their faq link. apparently they went $150 over their $400 US amount. maybe they can smash a shuffle next or something

.

 

[BodiesOfLight]

Are they those people that hate iPods or something? Or do they just want to smash things people really like for amusement?

One could question the logic, but you gotta love the humour

Whether they'll be able to do the same with next gen consoles...good luck

Reminds me of something I would see on the Ali G show.

They should have posed as a local news crew and brought in a camera crew to get good shots.

Where's the video.. ? c'mon.

 

[flecom]

or they could have just brought some MiniDV tapes and used the expensive cameras that are already at the store lol
