Oct 17, 2009: Anger Release Machine

I was scrolling down a bunch of pictures of oddball (for us) vending machines.
They were mostly from Asia, and dispensing everything imaginable.
The only "normal" one I saw had live bait, from here in the USA.

Then I saw these two "Anger Release Machine" pictures.




At first the idea and contents made me think it must be Japan, but the price tags are in Euros.
Googling around, I found several sites that credited two artists, Katja Kublitz and Ronnie Yarisal, but I didn't see these on their site.

I did answer the nagging question of whether you get the merchandise to smash or not.
No, you just get to see it drop and break... safer and neater that way, I guess.

Oh boy, they better keep that thing stocked. It would be bad if they ran out of whatever you wanted to smash.

drop and break? that's no good at all! It's the personal connection and the arm movement that are effective.

Hey! an idea for a Wii game!

WiiSmash'emup! Love it!

I've long had an idea for a stress-relief clinic to be located in some major city with lots of stressed executive types (say, Wall Street, 2008).
Step one is where you get to smash the hell out of a bunch of cheap crap like this. High-rollers can have personalised statues of loathed individuals to set about with a 5-iron.
Step two is a nice cup of tea and a massage.
Step three is to play with puppies and or kittens for an hour.
Step four is where we give you the outrageous bill, which pisses you off so much you have to go back to step one again. Rich, I tell you, I'm going to be RICH!!!!

OMG! I'll take one of each, please, and I'm the one who gets to smash 'em.

You've all got the wrong idea. You rent a car, and drive it right into those fucking machines.

I wonder if we're sending the children, the wrong message. Instead of fixing the problem that upsets us, we smash things. Worse than that, indirectly throwing money at the problem. Think of the children.

Hey, a 9-year-old's head would make a great battering ram to trash that machine with!

You just got a disgusted look from Diz; I laughed so loudly at that, he felt he had to vacate my shoulder. Thank you.
