OMG!!!
its a toaster for crying out loud....
if you beat it with a bat you could end up in jail with a law suit pending. You could get arrested for cruel and unusal punnishment and have to pay all of your neighbors for the mental trama that you caused them when they saw you taking out your vengance on the poor thing.
However... if you were to inadvertantly leave the little bugger on you driveway and accidently back over it, you would be able to claim that it had escaped from you kitchen and snuck out of the house, then you could sue the toaster manufacturer for $$$$Millions, claiming mental distress and that they should have provided some sort of warning device that would have alerted you to the fact the the toaster had escaped.
