March 16th, 2011 · No Comments · humor, video

It was only a matter of time before this was posted. The guys at Will It Blend have released their next video, and this time the iPad 2 is their victim. Gah, what a waste of money. But I do think the effort they put into shooting actually makes it halfway funny.
