1. I know this is supposed to be fun and all

but that IS a Baby Grand and maybe they could have donated it to a needy school district for some young, poor, future pianist to practice on. I'm a musician and it kills me to see good instruments destroyed.

2. I agree.

Our culture of violence, destruction, and greed seems to have created people who think that random destruction is funny, and even more so if it's taped to put on the internet.

I hope they prosecute these kids under a no-dumping law if nothing else. It's shameful, IMO.

3. I agree. I would have given anything as a kid to be able to practice

on a piano like this.

This was surely as artistic a use as it could have been put to.

4. And all along I thought it was a message from god, meaning.....uhm.....

My brother and I got a baby grand free from my high school. We walked it home after nearly losing it down a steep hill, and he took it all apart and fixed and cleaned it up-found several pounds of old chewing gum underneath it. He played it for years.

6. Y'know, somehow I'd vaguely hoped for some more clever purpose...

Nope. Just fucking idiots who got more stupid on a bender.

7. I watched

an online video and it looked like the keys were pretty messed up.
