actually, if you'd bothered to read their website and their FAQ, it would seem pretty obvious this isn't a scam. Especially since it is a project of an already established website called Planetboredom.net... and as the owner puts it:

"How do I know you won't just steal it?
That question seems to pop up a lot. Im not going to steal the money because if I actually do this, I can make a lot more money selling the video rights, and advertising inside the actual video. And I simply love smashing things!"

They're even on a smashing streak, they opened up smashmyps3.com, smashmyrevolution.com, and smashmyxbox.com

Looks like standard propaganda from an Apple fanboi site to me. I guess they did find the smashing "deadly dull." I don't care one way or the other. I don't like iPods, but at the same time I think it's silly. I watched, and it's no scam, silly maybe, but no deliberate scam.
