Through The Wash: The World's Most Entertaining Train Wreck
Back in October, we posted an article asking for an iPhone to send through the washer and dryer cycles of a conventional washing machine in order to perform a video review of how well it survived.
Some of you posted testimonials as to how well your own iPhones had survived their sudsy journeys.
Others asked if we had lost our minds.
And you were right to do so.
In the several months since then, I took it upon myself to follow through on an idea that Jason called "the world's most entertaining train wreck." Through The Wash has launched and, with the help of several friends from the D.C. stand up comedy scene, we've begun to hash out video reviews (including outtakes) as to which consumer electronics survive their journeys through the washer and dryer cycles.
To date, we've tested the following:
-A Nintendo Wii remote.
-Apple iPod headphones.
-An iPod Shuffle.
-An SD card.
-A Flash drive.
Future reviews will probably include the following:
-A Nintendo DS.
-A Nintendo DS game.
-A Sony PSP game.
-And, the big kahuna...a first generation iPhone.
This isn't news as much as it is entertainment, but when was the last time you left your iPod in the blender?
With that in mind, check out the sample below (warning: mild NSFW language), visit the site, let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions, let us know in the comments or forums.
