He didn't just buy it and destroy it. There was a video made. And this caused laughter and mirth all 'round the world!

Its only selfish if you're the only one who benefits. That isn't the case here, both the people who donated were entertained, and the poor crying kids were educated.
EVERYONE WON.

lmfao @ the premise of "smashmykitten" :lol
Someone should actually make that. You know there's more than enough sick fucks on the Internet to make that a profitable venture.

Reminds me a bit of the episode of Parker Lewis Can't Lose when the gang breaks Jerry's videogame addicition by piling up a bunch of Genesis games (empty boxes) then running the works over with a steam roller.
Egads, it's frightening when I remember that and not most of my university career.

Oblivion said:Maybe you guys can pretend it's a PS2 that was broken, that way it won't be as big a deal.
When the PS2 first launched in the UK with limited supplies, one Channel 4 show grabbed two avid PS fans and ran over a brand new PS2 in a steamroller in front of them. I found it hilarious at the time but I find no humour with Xbox 360 smashing, probably cos they wasted other people's cash.
I love the people who act all righteous saying things like, "What a waste, that money could have been given to the starving ass poor"
As if buying a videogame system and playing the hell out of it isn't MORE of a waste. Then you're spending $400 and a ton of time, time in which you could have worked to make more money to give to the poor.
Fuck all y'all.
It's just so sad.

You are right to a certain extent, but i disagree with in how "buying a videogame system and playing the hell out of it isn't MORE of a waste". No matter how wasteful it may seem to you and many others, it's something that brings a smile to many people who get a chance to play it. Certainly a better thing than getting joy (while getting a lot of people unhappy) for just a few small seconds while you sledgehammer it to pieces.

Nice comeback.
But really, why spaz out over this like it's some crime against humanity? Do you point at every guy who wastes any money on anything ever and yell at him for not giving it to charity?
If you're out there pleasuring yourself with a 360 for your own gain and not putting your money where your mouth is, you have no place to talk about how other people should spend their money.
Seriously, it's like you fucking xbots have degenerated into playing the "poverty card" to make yourselves feel better for not getting a 360 at launch.
"AW HYMEN THEY SAMSHED MY XBOX, BOO HOO HOOO, Nyoroghsfha IM GO PLAY WORLD OF WARCRAT NOW!"
Seriously, If i had the knowledge/ability to get a 360 risk free and cost free, I'd probably destroy the fucker too. Stop acting like one broken system is the end of the world - besides, it was probably defective, from what I've been reading 90% of them are already.
edit: and Yeah, I did get one, AND ITS ON FUCKING EBAY TOO!
I just donated $10 to http://www.smashmyrevolution.com/

doh. well, you got me with those superior logic circuits. i need an upgrade.

no one was really freaking out.. just commenting... at least i hope so.
Juice said:
Hah, Xbot eh? Yeah, I just feel it is a waste, I didn't say he should give it to charity per se, but I can't just comprehend, WHY. What's the point? You're buying something, and you're breaking it, fuck-a-doodle-doo, that entertains you? Whatever floats your boat but I find that a big waste of the saddo's money that donated. I can see this getting out of hand now, with a whole another network just spawning from this. That's my view, try to understand that. I have a sense of humour, but that's just pathetic.
And I admit, I'm not getting an Xbox 360, why? I decided instead of spending my money on myself this Xmas, I'd spend it on the people that I love and care about. I gave up my pre-order a while ago and just re-bought an Xbox for £50, which is sure to keep me busy for a while. I'm not playing the good samiritan here, just don't acuse me of playing the "poverty card".

Its a waste in your opinion, but not for those who donated just to see him doing it. Beers, cigarettes, games and comics are a bunch of wastes to many parents, but that doesn't stop other adults from seeking enjoyment from the legal objects. Its just a matter of different perspectives. I dont see why you didn't deem it as pointless as you getting so upset over someone destroying his own property.
The entertainment here is the laugh over people who gets agitated over a piece of material that isn't your own, just like what you seems to be from your posts here. Its not like somebody got harmed or something. Have a laugh and get over it

this is funny. I dont know why youre all getting so indignified by this calling them stupid and all. This is pure comedy, doing something unexpected and letting the shock value garner laughs.
The fact that this makes you guys so upset makes the thing all that much funnier, thanks

Lame -_-
Waste. Not of money, but people's time. They smash it in the parking lot with 2 people who aren't part of their group watching. Nobody gave a shit. No fanboys were "showed up." But these dumbasses spent hours waiting in line, setting up a website, shooting/editing video. They're just attention-hungry losers and they've impressed no one.
Which is too bad, I could've enjoyed seeing a fanboy cry.

Folks, folks, this is the NEXT-GENERATION remember? Isn't this where the machines start taking over? Within a month, that 360 will have regrown all its own parts, and with better graphics and a bigger Power Supply. Smashing it only made it mad!!!

Why hasn't someone done a music video with an edited version of Prodigy's Smack my Bitch Up for this?
