Also, I think Mythbusters just got a new idea for their next show.

So what? Who hasn't gotten mad and punched something before? I don't understand why there is a story here. Of course Marshall is putting forth a story. And yes it is a pathetic attempt at trying to save face. The appropriate thing to do here is to allow him to save face. If he punched a person, or someone else's TV that would be different. But what interest do any of us have in whether or not some guy punched his own TV? Maybe it happened the way he says it did. Maybe it didn't. Writing multiple articles about it certainly feels an awful lot like the kid at school tattling on the other kid for lying about what his Dad does for a living. It makes the tattler look worse than the liar. Okay… so we all figure Marshall got mad and punched his TV or something like that.

There is no way he slipped and put his hand through an entertainment center. Abolsutely no way. Plus, the guy already had the rep for a bad temper. I'm glad he made that story up because it's hilarious. The rat definitely needs to use to that lie detector test. This story is truly unbelievable.

My girlfriend at the time and I were packing to go back home to move to NYC. Through no fault of anyone, including my own, while packing I lost my balance and to catch myself reached back to the wall. However, there was no wall. Instead, I put my hand through the double paned window. I was neither under chemical or emotional influence. I was simply a clutz. I think that it costs nothing to assume the same until proven otherwise by Mr. Marshall or his circumstances. In the winter of ‘02, I was staying with my Aunt in NJ.

You'd think a banana peel would have been a more credible agent of accidental destruction than a McDonald's bag. Then again, the old banana-peel excuse is hackneyed and obvious. But a McDonald's bag? It's not even slippery. Can we get somebody to experiment with the Marshall scenario in front of an entertainment center?
