The Prius Explosion Experience

I'll pay a $1000 if you load the interior with some worthless politicians

She didn't bet us that we couldn't do it -- we came up with the idea and she said she didn't think we'd be able to pull it off...but offered to sacrifice her car if we could.

This all started as an idea to make a short, big budget movie....while we were drinking. It's like how you always come up with all these great plans at the bar but never follow through on them...we're actually following through.

Sounds like a bet to me. Not much of a sacrifice, is it? More like, I'll pay you $15k more than your car is worth if you give it to us, so we don't have to go looking for another one. I'm all for destroying new prius', but budget wise and common sense would tell you to get one from the junk yard, or steal one. Donating to buy somebody a PRIUS, of all cars, is not something I'd like to do.

My donation money would be better spent on a crackhead, at least I'd get to see a cool dance and know the money wasn't wasted!

Well you're partially right. We could get a used one cheaper but then we wouldn't have as much of a story -- it's more fun to blow up your friend's car than it is to just grab one off a used car lot. We need story and characters.....and Paula talking about her car is by itself hilarious to us. If you click on her head on the website you can watch a clip....or if you're lazy you can just go here:

...it's not a waste -- you'll get to see a Prius jump off a ramp and explode. Dancing crackheads are great for about 20 seconds, but this is something you can watch over and over.....timeless.

I couldn't agree more. But, buying your friend a new, more expensive vehicle than she previously had is not funny. Having your friend lose $15k worth of a vehicle and having to walk is hilarious. I'd pay for that, but I couldn't enjoy the video knowing everything worked out in the end for the prius owner.

While I agree the domain name help-us-screw-our-friend-over.com is funny, I think our friendship might be damaged if we just blew it up and said "see ya".

Who cares? She drives a Prius! She doubted you could do something, if you can prove her wrong, she shouldn't be rewarded. It is a bet! You even said she would sacrifice her car if you could...

Sacrifice: a loss entailed by giving up or selling something at less than its value; "he had to sell his car at a considerable sacrifice"

If someone doesn't take a loss, there is no point except to add to your portfolio, buy you a camera, and your friend a new car.
