Ukrainian Computer Destruction Championship

Posted by michael on from the foot-pedal dept.

Alien54 writes "Over 300 self-confessed computer addicts have participated in a competition in the central Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhya to destroy their own hardware in a spectacular fashion. The event, dubbed the "First Open Computer Destruction Championship", was organised by a local FM radio station with the professed aim of raising young people's awareness of the dangers of spending too much time in front of a computer."

    "...with the professed aim of raising young people's awareness of the dangers of spending too much time in front of a computer."
