Scratch, drill, slug, smash that Viper

by Mike Yamamoto

First there was SmashMyiPod.com, to be followed a few weeks later by SmashMyXbox.com. But the concept has been ratcheted up at least a few full notches with SmashMyViper.com.

Far from a simple copycat, this site also allows you to virtually "key my Viper," "drill a hole in my Viper" and, our personal favorite, "throw an item of your choice under five pounds" at said Viper. The trend, if it can be called that, may very well be a metaphor of our declining civilization.
