That rumor that Australian toilets flush the other way isn’t true, so lets start a new one: In Australia, you can fix things by beating them. See you in my children, new trivia meme!

Everyone has a story about fixing a gadget with tough love, but this is kind of extreme. Depending on your history with flat panel TVs, this video will be either cathartic or nerve-wracking, but with the endless shouting arguments going on in the background, the maniacal glee with which our subject takes a metal bat to his television and the inexplicable success of the whole endeavor, well, it’s hard not to feel like you’ve witnessed something significant. NSFW for language. [NoWhereElse—Thanks, Steve]
