At the Press of a Button

Viral marketing at its very best: The Blendtec Company, home of the $400 blender (worth it), has produced an amazing series of videos called “Will It Blend?” Can your blender blend a rake handle? A handful of marbles? (Careful not to breathe in that glass dust!) The Blendtec can. It can also whip up tasty treats like Cochicken: a can of Coke blended with a whole bone-in chicken. Then drunk through a straw. Yummers!

    I'm ranked in four (Japanese) martial arts and one thing that my sensei HATES is "tameshiwara," the breaking of things like bricks and boards by means of bare-handed strikes. Why? Because not only is decimating a cinder block a dog and pony show (watching the agony that ensues when the demonstration fails is a whole other kind of show), it bears no relation to accurately and effectively striking a human target.
    I mention this by way of analogy because I feel the same way about "Will It Blend?" Are you planning on SERVING ground marbles and/or CZ? Unlikely. This to me smacks of marketing targeted towards a potential customer base comprised of reality TV viewers with disposable income, not people who are serious about kitchen appliances. It gives me the creeps.-COLLAPSE
