Ice-T repairs a Mac, his way
I don't think this is anything I would have ever asked to see, personally, but now that it's here, I can't look away. Above, you can click through to see a NSFW (language) video of the star of stage and screen, Ice-T, doing some "repairs" on a broken PowerBook -- the kinds of "repairs" you can only do with a clawhammer. As he says in the video, "if any of you people out there really have a love affair with Macs, this'll be hard to watch." In Apple's defense, that Mac gives him quite a bit of trouble... until he really starts swinging the hammer.
Ah, the Internet. Where else can you watch B-list celebrities destroy expensive electronic equipment? Everybody have a great weekend!

yet after all that, he still managed to do less damage to any remaining data than Geek Squad.

I'll give you $10 to call Ice-T a b-list celebrity to his face.

@Fred, He should be grateful -- considering most people would put him below that.

My point stands.

isn't he on Law and Order: SVU? i'm sure people still recognize him. it's not like he's fazed out like k-fed.

I think he's more like a B- or C grade. What can be considered as the 'last option'. But, I wouldn't say that to his face, unless I have someone bigger backing me up ;)

I bet he makes more as a b or c list actor than a mac tech.

Editorial secret: the original version of the post had "c-list celebrity" and I upgraded him to b-list -- he's on a primetime network drama, after all, and that's to say nothing of his music career.

C-list is probably about right, maybe a bit below that if anything.

I recognized him from Late night with Jimmy Fallon... :(
Him and Elmo were on at the same time, pretty funny.

I like how he calls fan blades "cooling prongs."

This should be a commercial for a new e-cycling campaign.

I hope he took his hard drive out, because that data is still recoverable. :)

Bit harder to do this to a unibody. :)
