That's in Toronto next to the Eaton's Center if anyone cares.

I don't get it. Is he protesting the PS3? What a waste of money.

"A social experiment." Hah.

If you go to the smashmyps3.com site, there's a list of people who donated money so that this rube could go buy a ps3 and smash it.

That man did not deserve to wear that pimp getup.

Heh... someone's watched Fight Club a few times, I think. I kinda like it.

Am I the only one who had "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta" running through my head while watching this?

I personally think the bonehead who WAITED IN LINE FOR 18 FUCKING HOURS (his words) should have been smashed.

What a retard.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

What a fucking tool. He could have bought a PS3, auctioned it on eBay and then donated every dime to charity and still made a big deal of it and got a lot of attention. This is just stupid.

Personally, I think he should have just stood in front of a large crowd and masturbated. Oh, wait, that's what he did...

What an utter cockspurt. There were more camera men than anything else. No one gave a rat's arse other than the gimp in the pimp suit, Sony got the money for the unit and he looked like a fule. I bet the related site is claiming this as the best thing, like, evah. Where's the queue for the 2.5 minutes of my life I want returned.

There are a whole lot of overpriviledged boys out there. The boys whose mothers worked extra shifts at the auto factory so they could buy a video game console and the boys whose dads kept their old cars a few extra years so their sons could buy expensive video equipment should shake hands and be friends.
