you might get mad or even pissed just by watching that, you might also think what a waste, but look it this way.. an ipad 500 bucks+ the guys salary.. i dunno? 300 maximum for doing this?, then the cameras man and editing, another 300 for each guy, so thats about 1500.. youtube is free and a lot of people have watched the publicity, i think that its actually working for them this way lol
What can I say
I really don't understand these programs where people smash up things for fun.
There's a program on Discovery as well which does these things.
Don't get it,just can not do that in this era anymore because its just wasting resources for nothing.
Here in Europe You won't find such utterly stupid programs.
Makes Me mad that Macrumors put this on their site.
Do you not realize that this is an ad campaign? They are trying to sell their badass blenders.
LOL. That's the funniest thing I've heard all week! Good one. I think his fat ass wouldn't fit in the blender either...
I need to get myself one of those blenders. Especially the 2350 Watt, 20 Amp model.
The guy in the video is the founder of Blendtec (the company that makes the blender)

You think his fat ass would blend?
Can't believe MacRumors wrote a story on this. Werenn't the 2 or 3 threads on it enough?
It's funny. Come on!
Besides, from the dude with the baseball bat to the "Will It Blend," the iPad seems to hold up for quite a while. I'm pretty impressed.

This pisses me off. It's a horrible example of decadence and wastefulness. Thing of all the energy and effort that went into making this device. From the mining of the metals to the labour to shipping it across the ocean. The truck that drove it to its final destination. If you've ever given any care to the environment, this should make you mad. Imagine explaining this to someone who has nothing. It went through a long journey. Did nothing. Now it's landfill. Sickening.

I totally agree. Especially North Americans should start caring more about nature and conserving resources. It is really sad.
I think if we attempted it, we would blend into some sort of time space continuum vortex.
Thanks to Phil Z and Jim Gaffigan for this joke.
I'm impressed that the iPad held up so well. Props.
BlendTecs are pretty bad ass. I'll get one if they have a stainless steel one. When in college I got a slap chop and a sham wow because they impressed chicks. Now it's time to get the BlendTec and start really pulling tang!
As for people who are disgusted etc... saying it's wasteful and crying for the environment. Come on. It's advertising... Have you thought about what you did to impact the environment or economy today? If you are worried then why aren't you outside planting a tree or collecting money to send an ipad to a kid?(instead of using up energy to run your computer to post on a forum dedicated to things like ways to keep older energy whoring models alive longer (among other things of course and yes that was an extremely close minded statement. I was just trying to come up with an example to use) also people who keep their Macs longer aren't; as they say, 'helping the Economy'.
Anyways it shouldn't be considered too wasteful. Keep in mind apple is a 'greener' computer manufacturer.
At least the sales that BlendTec will make as a result of this video will be taxed and the govt will put the money to great use a they always do right?
Anyways. "I ain't hatin'"
Mac keep Macin. Forum keep foruming. BlendTec keep blending. And Apple come out with the new MacBook Pro already Gahhhhhhh
</end rant>
- Sent from my energy sipping iPhone 3GS. And my 2G went to a friend in need. Not a kid but he acts like one sometimes...

Hes made tons more money off of blending that stuff than the total cost. Someone buying an ipad and playing around on it, buying apps, etc., are wasting.
That was pretty distasteful.
We all complain about consuming resources as though it were a religious mantra and then we laugh when we wantonly destroy them like that.
Poor effort.

Yeah his business is really struggling since many big chains like Starbucks use Blendtec blenders.
Also:
IHOP
Subway
Planet Smoothie
TCBY
Nestle
Ocean Spray

I think it's pretty obvious that these videos have done Blendtec a great deal of good.
[SARCASM] Never mind. The world's resources are unlimited and there's no pollution problem whatsoever. [/SARCASM]
