Unboxing videos are the tech equivalent of the Real World: Brooklyn TV show.  :down:

Great vid. Really sums it all up, doesn't it?

I particularly liked him chucking the instructions and frisbee-ing the CDs. ;D

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I was hoping he'd make coffee cups from the Styrofoam inserts and drink coffee out of 'em.

What he said about unboxing only being thrilling for the unboxer made me think of this LBJ quote:

"Did you ever think that making a speech on economics is a lot like pissing down your leg? It seems hot to you, but it never does to anyone else."
