Yeah I read about that, it sounds funny but some people get pissed about it. Have you read any of the hate mail?

actually it is a good idea, but next time try to get someone a little more legit to do it. That was just copulate retarded. And as for all of the hate mail, well that is just bogus.

:lol: that's pretty silly, but I wouldn't mind seeing the reaction they get when they smash a 360 in front of hundreds of people eagerly awaiting their expensive gadgetry. No doubt this will cause anger in the fanboy world, but I believe it's kind of funny to watch something like this.

Plus, the prople who donated mostly gave $2-$5, which everyone probably has in their couch cushions or car seats. I'd spend my 2 bucks on a donation instead of a coffee at Dunkin Donuts, if I were allowed to buy things online. Just for the entertainment value, like when the Neistat brothers tagged many many iPod ads with the phrase "The iPod's unreplaceable battery lasts only 18 months". That was kinda funny. There's a video on www.neistat.com

They are a ship of fools, and I'm on the shore with my binoculars watching the fiasco.

I agree...just another bunch of idiotic children "attempting" to be funny and failed miserably!

You know, with a little more thought and planning they could have profitted imensely. It would be as simple as substituting the good Ipod for a defective one from eBay :wink:

You mean by not walking over the customer service counter and saying "It came this way can I get my money back?"

anybody see the PSP video? these guys beat it to a pulp. about 4 guys stomping it, throwing it at the ground/walls, running it over and just beating it. it was great. Also Ive heard of the Gamecube/ps2/xbox out the window. they dropped it, and then the gamecube still worked :shock:
