Found Footage: iPhone blends

The whole thing is sick and pointless and made me wonder why I watched it in the first place. There is so many people who would like an iPhone but can't afford one the least the guy could do is give it away. Says something about our society when we throw away $500-$600 just for fun doesn't it? The worst thing though is by watching this we participate in it... dang I'm annoyed that I just wasted a bit of my time... That was just soooo sad and wrong...

#12, I mean aside from the marketing purposes obviously - there are better ways to advertise a "super blender".
It's like those stupid "Miracle Blade" infomercials where the Chef cuts a hammer. A hammer? Are you serious? Who's ever gonna have to cut an hammer and why would he use kitchen knives to do it?

Those blender ads and the links to them are irresponsible. We live in a time where people get killed for all kind of reasons, where we realize that we are about to destroy the whole planet with our emissions and all this video do show why:

NO RESPECT

And no, this has absolutely nothing to do with Apple and the iPhone. It is a waste of energy and resources to destroy something just for fun. This is not creative, this is distructive and depressing. It is really nothing anyone should be proud of or anyone should laugh about.

Things like this make a difference in the world, just not a positive one.

Thanks terssi (#11). I had wondered the same thing.

Maybe this will help:

It's Heresy!

I don't get the purpose of these videos... I mean it's OBVIOUS it will bend, so why making the video giving it a scientific appeal (with the guy resembling a scientist doing some "experiment") when it's just a way to satisfy one's desire to see things getting utterly destroyed?

It should've been called "Let's blow stuff up" or something along those lines.

As someone who can't get one of these bad boys until 2008 (am in HK), that video almost made me cry...

Of course the weirdest thing is to watch this on your iPhone via YouTube. makes for a nice recursive experience.

One small problem, I don't have an iPhone...

That makes me so sad. I don't want one, but you know, if you were going to put it in a blender I could take it off your hands...

I too am impressed with how long it bounced around before starting to come apart.
