Slosh THIS past your choppers!

Things just seem to get nuttier and nuttier, especially with youtube in the vanguard of culture. This blog brought you the daft Duke drink-dispensing designer with his now-famous little machine that chucks a beer across the room to the laziest couch potatoes in the world, and that even via remote control. And deadly accurate it is, too. If you didn’t get a chance to see that little piece of video, here it is again:

But the Bottle Opening Helicopter takes the opposite extreme…expending the most energy and effort imaginable to open a beer.

This episode almost makes the beerchucker look rational. A wacky helicopter pilot with a bottle opener attached to his skids opens a 6-pack with his chopper before a live studio audience. Eerily evocative of an early “Iron Chef” episode, it features what appears to be a grizzled, white pilot being watched by a group of apparently American english speakers as his efforts are narrated in Japanese.

Ironically each bottle’s label can be clearly read: “Draft Beer”, and I’ve gotta say a keg of draft beer would have made so much more sense. As you watch this one, ask yourself, “Could he do that again after drinking the beers he opened? Is he selling helicopters that come with an attached bottled opener, or is he selling bottle openers that come with an attached helicopter?” You decide: youtube helicopter
