“Remember, the problem is not that people are stupid; the problem is that modems are cheap.” –Vince Sabio

Stupid behavior is ubiquitous on YouTube, and it’s one of Youtopia’s raisons d’etre. Self-indulgent video diary? Check. Drunk history? Yep. Shameless pranks? Gotcha.

Still, the quote above speaks to a greater point: People aren’t so much stupid as they are hungry for attention. With this idea in mind, our theme:

People Destroying Computers

Aside from posting about how much one hates YouTube, this is about as hypocritical as videos come. The impulse to destroy is stupid, but the subsequent means of sharing the destruction takes the cake.

You know how video killed the radio star? Well, here’s proof that the Internet star kills itself.

America!

There are only so many more stereotypes Kentucky can handle before it implodes altogether.Anti-climatic? Yes, but in the best way

You may be surprised to know that many folks use pick axes to destroy their PCs. But sai? That’s original.Impeccably Scored

Maybe this is only funny if you’re British.

Payback’s a bitch!

Maybe he can find a rebound on YouTube. [Ed–That video is amazing. Look at it.]John Cusack, where art thou?

Keep in mind that the whole point of this ad is to promote software. Computer-wise, that’s like Jack the Ripper offing housewives to advertise for hookers.Too soon?
