On the Viewer - Human Wrecking Balls
 by Fëanor

Dude, have you seen this show? They play it on G4, and it's about these guys named the Pumphrey brothers, who hold various world records in destroying things. Each episode, they give the Pumphrey brothers some kind of man-made object and then have them destroy it using no other tools but their own bodies. This wouldn't be all that impressive if the things they gave them to destroy were, like, a two by four. But the Pumphrey brothers destroy things like a car, or an entire hotel suite. The latter is what I saw them break when I watched the show. It was freaking awesome. Dude ran through a wall, took a huge metal stud with him, and got back up with no other injury than a small bump on his head. They tore the toilet up with their bare hands and smashed it to bits on the floor. They ripped the refrigerator into pieces. Sure, it definitely appeals to my more primitive instincts and desires, but that makes it no less fantastic.
