Crazy Mac Haters
A video on YouTube.com, showing three men tossing a MacBook around, with the purpose of destroying it, is quickly becoming an Internet hype. The video, which was created by three Norwegian radio DJ's of local radio station "Radio Reception".
In the video, which was uploaded to YouTube on February 11, 2010, the three are seen at the top of some flights of stairs. One of the three has an Apple MacBook in hand. The three pose like naughty children ready to act.
They start to throw the MacBook to each other. While the MacBook is caught the first few times, inevitably, the MacBook is dropped, and tumbles down the stairs. The three look at the camera in utter amazement, obviously proud at how 'naughty' they've been. After much amazement, the three commence tossing around the MacBook, with the obvious intent to again throw it down the stairs, leading. again to much Oooohs and Aaaahs.
One of the three picks it up again, and starts banging the MacBook to the rails of the stairs, until pieces of the MacBook start flying, much to the amusement of the three. When the demolished MacBook is finally down, the video ends with a last round of Oooohs and Aaaahs.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhWtJ2OwZ4A
