Net TV Love - Part Eight: Will It Blend?

Ok, I admit, Will It Blend? is actually kind of an odd choice for this little series, since it's actually a series of viral-marketing infomercials for Blendtec blenders, but at the same time, unlike most infomercials, the episodes are short (most only 1-2 minutes) and entertaining. Basically, host (and Blendtec founder) Tom Dickson shows off the power of the Blendtec blender by taking an odd assortment of items (anything from golf balls to a McDonald's Extra Value Meal to, as you'll see below, an iPad), putting them into the blender and then turning it on to see the result. Of course, except for the very rare occasion, the blender triumphs over whatever is thrown it's way. (One notable exception, for obvious reasons is Chuck Norris. When a Chuck Norris action figure is thrown into the blender along with those of some bad guys, the bad guys are of course reduced to dust from which the Chuck Norris figure miraculously arises intact.)

Look below to see what happens when an iPad meets the blender, and you can check out other episodes of Will It Blend? at the website.
