Unhappy The You-Have-Gotta-Be-Kidding-WTF-They-Did-WHAT?! Thread of the Day...



Wow...a bit of me died watching this: Apparently, some dude thought it would be novel art idea to see what a minty new Porsche would look like--as a crushed cube.

Video here...and don't blame me about the goriness.

You know that scene in "Monsters, Inc." where Sully thought Boo was being crushed in the compacter machine...and his reaction as he was watching the whole process...?


Yeah, I felt just like that watching this.

Well, to quote fellow AZer Stapler, this artist is SO fired...whoever commisions him to do another artwork should be dropkicked.

I felt like I was watching a murder take place...very gruesome...especially the interior shots. So this guy did it just to create "modern art". UGH.

Did anyone notice the guy at the 45 second mark had three arms???

So using a new operational Porsche for that is different from using a wrecked one in what way, other than committing a total waste??

Yeeesh, that was painful to watch. Like AcuraFan said, the interior vid was the worst.

Some of the comments:
rgagliardo : "it was a tiptronic. it got what it deserved."
TubbyCat12 : "WOW... what a GREAT pile of art.."

This one makes me feel a little better: "I read that the car in question was PRE-PRODUCTION - its a shame I know, but car manufacturers often do this with preproduction vehicles due to safety concerns... "

Still could have parted it out ...
