Who in their right mind would actually wait out in line, stand the freezing cold, finally purchase the Wii, only to smash it right before the very eyes of those still waiting outside the store? These guys, apparently.

They obviously enjoyed the shock-value of their little quest, smashing their Wii right after purchasing it from Futureshop in Toronto. While people were for a time amused at the antic, it wasn't long before the gravity of it sunk in, and, well, they just found it nuts. And it is, actually. After all, it was a blatant disregard for the feelings of those sincerely waiting for the Wii. But hey, that's exactly what these guys were after in the first place.

Then again, we ain't judging here at QJ. Nor are we saying that the Wii deserved to be smashed. Of course not. Anyway, it's an antic. And it's crazy. So just check it out, and here's hoping you don't turn purple in shock.

Thanks, Badam!

This guy is saying that video games or electronics in general ((the orginal was to smash a I Pod)) Basicly he takes any huge social electronic icon smahes. The same thing that you let consume 48 hours of life waiting to get He does the same simpley to smash and destroy it and hopefully asolve your obession. Shame too I wanted one....Oh well profit for Nintendo. I just wish that it was Biodegradble. You better recycled it.

Please learn before you say something like that. Go to the website, you'll see that the Wii was paid for by donations of people who'd like to see the video.
