Sony back to just smashing up its products

If there's one benefit to a crappy economy, it's that people set aside their wasteful ways and learn the importance of fiscal prudence. And yet, five seconds after the Dow broke 10,000, Sony apparently said, "Screw it, let's just start smashing really expensive consumer electronics together." And thus we have this captivating bit of elegant destruction from Sony Australia, which is offering a free PS3 when you buy a new Sony Bravia LCD TV. Of course, what you do with them is up to you. I recommend getting all the poor kids in town to watch as you run over the unopened boxes with your dad's solid-gold Porsche. Via Engadget.

I am beyond failing to understand how this ad is supposed to get me to buy their products... the MB ad was at least coherent, but Sony crash-tests their electronics? Mmmokay.

Coulda been fun, but it just didn't look very cool. Much better slo-mo crashes out there. Oh well.
