I think someone posted a link to this site before they actually "smashed" their iPod, but I thought I'd repost the link.

[b3d6d68b0b0][i3d6d68b0b0]What is this all about, you ask?[/i3d6d68b0b0][/b3d6d68b0b0]
[b3d6d68b0b0]
[quote3d6d68b0b0]- Someone on the internet had the brilliant idea of creating a site that raises cash via Paypal. Once they collected $400 worth of cash, they planned on going to an Apple Store and buying an iPod. Right after purchasing it, opening it, and smashing it to pieces on the floor right inside the Apple Store.[/quote3d6d68b0b0][/b3d6d68b0b0]

Well it sounds hilarious, but they haven't posted the video yet....I'm thinking they are doing some last minute editing + they need some more bandwidth to host it.

For $400, you'd think they'd have sprung for the 40GB. lol

...they probably wanted to make a little profit out of the whole thing - considering they could have been [i19ca02b18f]possibly[/i19ca02b18f] arrested.

Also, I was reading the News section on their site the other day, and someone tipped off the Apple Store they were planning on going to. I'm sure that made it much harder to get in there w/ 3 cameras, and [i19ca02b18f]still[/i19ca02b18f] remain undercover.

On the site, they said that the Apple store knew that they were coming and who they were.

For $400 you'd think they'd spring for an already broken one on eBay and pocket the cash.

Or is that me?

It could have been great, but it sounds like it totally sucked.

hehehhehe

22-10-2005 10:22:35

Look at the way the ipod is scuffed, I bet that's an old used ipod (it's not even a photo ipod).

I hate these fucking 'give me money and I'll break something' bullshit freeloaders.

I'm starting to think that what they did is they already had an ipod, and it stopped workin so they figured they could get a new one if they destroyed it.

That timestamp on the images looks pretty fake. I like how there's disorted pixels around it, and the color changes on both images. I'm sure they didn't take turns taking pictures of the images with different cameras. We'll see when the video comes out...

They can return the iPod because it has a one-year warranty (online).

That's smart.

22-10-2005 14:35:07
