A VIDEO of a group of teenagers destroying a brand new iPad computer with a baseball bat has gone viral on YouTube.
The video of the smashing of the $US500 ($545) device outside a Best Buy store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Saturday has attracted more than 280,000 views on the video-sharing site.
The Los Angeles Times caught up with Justin Kockott, the 19-year-old high school student who made the video titled Brand new iPad getting smashed by a baseball bat.
"I wanted to be the first one to do it before other people did it," Kockott told the newspaper.

Just a word of caution, don’t do that to your iPad. Voids the warranty.
It only has over 2.9 million hits!
“I wanted to be the first one to do it before other people did it,”
That’s quite a lofty accomplishment, Justin. We’re impressed if you want us to be.
Some Leftist is going to try to get a law passed that says you can not willfully destroy Apple products.
I’m waiting for it to be used for target practice with a Barrett .50 rifle.
After a Youtube video becomes popular, they give you the opportunity to put ads on it and monetize your work. If this kid did that, he may well have made much more than $500 back.
Maybe because he started Kindergarten late?
If they gave degrees in conclusion-jumping, you'd be a PhD....
Let’s see...he is still in high school at 19.
He buys $550 item and beats it to pieces for laughs and notoriety.
Mayyyybe he just isn’t very bright.
I’m outraged!!!!!
Outraged that teenage American boys don’t know how to swing a bat harder than a 12 year old girl!!!
Hope he signed up for the Youtube ad revenue sharing deal before he got the million hits.
