Is that a MiniDisk tomorrow?

Heh. This went much as I expected. CD cases are super-fragile, but CD's don't break easily. (They do however, become incredibly scratched and useless with the slightest effort. Might not be broken, but I wouldn't wanna play it after this. XD)

I'm betting you tried crowbarring this, but it had so little impact on anything but the box you didn't bother editing it in. I've found CDs to be very easy to make unreadable (which would be hard to demo in the video without making it longer and having a stylistic break), but difficult to actually destroy. They are, for example, unexpectedly resistant to hammers and flames, and our one shredder that has a "data CD" slot makes a terrible meal of the job and has never quite been the same since we destroyed about 100 old windows server discs (over the course of an afternoon, letting it cool after about every 7 or 8). Plus a committed data recovery guy could probably have fetched most the stuff off even so.

what you need to kill a CD is probably a high speed belt sander and a specialised jig to hold it in place. or just a furnace. or a Quake-style nailgun.

for now... let 'em bounce.

tomorrow should be entertaining, if you slammed it hard enough... tapes make a right mess when broken open, and it's easier than you'd expect. easier than killing a CD, certainly, though up til that point they're more resistant to "surface" damage.

Huh, I nevereven knew Will Smith put out a CD... I take it it deserved the treatment?
Before he was acting, he was part of the rap duo, "DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince". In fact, as Wikipedia states, "The group received the first rap Grammy ever in 1989 for "Parents Just Don't Understand", though their most successful single was "Summertime" which earned the group their second Grammy and peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100"

Then they made a show with his Fresh Prince character called The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and I guess he decided to focus more on acting.

OT:

Didn't expect too much from a CD dropping... But the music was all kinds of weird, in an oddly good way. I think I heard Chewbacca and multiple lasers being fired in there.

Whose CD was that?
Will Smith's album from strangely enough the late 90's after the end of Fresh Prince.

Well duh. I was just wondering who in the LRR crew owned the thing >.<

Am I really the only one who heard the sounds of heated Star Wars laser-battle, complete with Wookie noises and a lightsaber strike, coming from the cd? Seriously, until I replayed it a couple times I actually thought they'd just edited that in for some reason right at the end.

That's from the music track that they use from Younnat. It's the same reason you get the "Yes!" and "What if there is no tomorrow" on some of the other videos. It's actually part of the "music" if you want to put it like that.
