"Not as bad as Vodka"?! wtf, Vodka is about the cleanest hard-liquor you can get....

Anyway, Jack Daniels should NOT be considered whiskey in the first place. Shitty American trash. Give me a Glenmorangie or Macallan any day.

FWIW, I chatted with Daniel at a party I attended a couple years ago, about Snowden, Assange, and Manning and his thoughts on the NSA... It was great to meet him.

Too bad Daniel Tosh doesn't have a callsign like Batman. I mean, wouldn't it be funny if that guy got raped by, like, five guys right now?

They brought back Batista to ruin the awesome storyline of Daniel Bryan meeting CM Punk at Wrestlemania with Bryan winning the Rumble. They brought back Brock to take the Streak from the Undertaker in the stupidest way imaginable.

They have fucked up so much in the past few months that they've lost me as a viewer. Only the WWE could get me to cheer for Cancer!

1. So you are suggesting people who live on 40p a day would give two squirty shits about a smartphone? That is a result of global economic issues of which one person smashing a phone (they presumably own) is negligible to the point of complete irrelevance. Non sequitur, if this is really a concern to you then you need to go after the corruptions and inequalities in our very financial system. Handing down a phone (which is likely near the end of its useful life anyway) is not going to change anything of significance here.

2. I'm suggesting you are making an entirely subjective value judgement about the pleasure and practical use one could derive from the same investment of money/material. Lets not forget he generated around $7000 of personal income from a £50-100 investment. But more than that, perhaps to some people the pleasure and entertainment of smashing that phone was comparable to other activities that might cost the same (e.g. a night of drinking or a weekend away could easily exceed the cost of that handset). Are you suggesting spending £50-100 on leisure activities etc. is morally reprehensible? Let's not forget "smartphones" don't do anything essential for most people, they are luxury items. If you have a problem with 1st world culture that's absolutely fine (laudible even) but you can't be singling out this guy for making a very successful comedy skit when there are people everywhere who's lifestyles could be politely described as "a decadent waste of atoms".

3. Absolutely nothing is stopping that smashed phone from being recycled, many shops would give you a £50-100 trade in on a new handset even in that state as they are typically just melted down anyway (and your new shiny phone contract is worth more to them than caring about the state of your bag of broken phone bits).

Besides as a matter of pedantry my point clearly stands, doing NOTHING in a drawer is clearly inferior to generating $7000, and providing 2mins of hillarity!?!?!?!? (the comparison was between hammer and drawer not drawer and charity) What you did there was called a "straw man" (i.e. twist my word's to make a different argument that helps make your own point)

4. The phone is old and they are not built to last (again feel free to rant on our disposable culture but leave this guy out of it) as @Payback pointed out it's probably knackered anyway.


Somewhere in your argument is some righteous and commendable rage about the inequalities of the global market but you're focusing it in the wrong direction here. Be angry at the CEO and shareholders of Samsung who profit from human death and suffering in the Coltan mines, the Corrupt banks that hold a fake debt over the poor populations of the world or the Complicit governments that support them. Or maybe go after the Ideologues and philosophers that conceived and spread the culture of consumer and corporate greed driven economics.


Basically anything but rage at this guy for making a IMHO pretty funny video on a budget that utterly pales into insignificance compared to just about anything else.



Could he have handed it down? Sure. Could he have traded it for a crate of jack Daniels, a half ounce of weed, an animatronic chicken alarm clock, a present for his wife etc. etc. etc.?

Your argument taken to its logical conclusion would condemn anyone that spends money or resources on anything other than practical necessities or charity. I'm not saying that's what you meant, but that's what your argument as stated invites.

Pastor Daniel Castle must not be able to read, or listen to the warning that this is NOT for children and is rated M for Mature. Not surprising, he sounds fairly illiterate and ignant (a sate of permanent willful ignorance).
He also must have never heard of sarcasm, how sad for him and those that follow him. I love to watch people get irate over a joke they don't get.
And why is he upset that they eat God's body? Is he just as upset at Catholics that eat and drink Jebus every Sunday? If not, why not?
Thank you Pastor Castle, for giving another shining example of the excellent quality of leadership many Christians enjoy today.

Lawrence Krauss isn't one of the Four Horsemen of New Atheism. Daniel Dennett is the other.
