The obligatory SmashMyiPhone.com debutes
Here we go again - as if smashing one's iPod (and Playstation 3, and Wii...) wasn't enough, someone has already registered SmashMyiPhone.com and is - obviously - taking donations to purchase an iPhone whose number is already up. Unless this site finds a workaround to purchasing an iPhone sans-contract, however, *someone* will also be paying for the next two years by being locked into a contract. Will it be worth it? Has the novelty worn off? If you want my two cents (respectively): no, and yes - a thousand times yes. Still - will they net enough donations to demolish one of the most anticipated mobile phones in history? Only time can tell.

Too bad for the guy who thought he was outsmarting everyone by buying SmashmyIphone.com... He'll have to settle for the smashing of Cisco's iphone and I wager this won't get him as much publicity if not at all :)
This stuff just sucks, its not funny, nor in a political active sense.
I think if you do something with full engadgement and it doen't matter if its Art or just a good designed product its a part of honnor to respect it and not to destroy it.
Stop supporting those morron white trash kids by posting theyr shit!
Have a nice day.
an incredible service? i don't think so.
i'm not disturbed by this kind of behaviour, it's just predictable.
maybe the first few times this was done it was a relevant comment on consumerism, but now? not so much.
now it's just flat out a "me too" scenario. the point has only to be made a few times before it loses it's relevance, especially in this scenario.
if they were making a significant comment here they would be smashing their own stuff, not taking other people's money to smash something that's essentially not theirs. ask them to go home and stick a power drill through their own equipment and see what their response is.
Actually I think these guys are doing the world an incredible service: they're reminding us that things are merely things, and that you get to do whatever you want with your own property.
If you're seriously disturbed by this kind of behavior, you might want to think about why that is.
the jedi's will feel that 1, as if a million screaming apple fans were suddenly silenced.

So far SmashMyiPhone only has one dollar, and I don't think they'll get much more any time soon.
I've been having trouble receiving email, so I might have to try post this again.
The people that set that site up and support them are total scum.
