blown up laptop

You'd think that one of the few small pleasures of destroying some gadget that's been driving you crazy would be doing it yourself. But if you can't be bothered, a company called WeBlowITup.com (get it?) says that for the princely sum of about a hundred bucks they'll use explosives to blow up your cellphone, laptop, or "small appliance" for you, and then send you a video commemorating its destruction.

P.S. - Make sure to watch the sample video that's on there. It's as porno as non-porno gets.
