Title: "The Mistreated" Post by: Andrew on November 30, 2008, 11:04:58 AM A reader, Enrico Barsetti, emailed me the link to this funny commercial about properly disposing of used batteries. It has amusing elements of "It Conquered the World" and "Bride of the Monster."
Found it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvukyuXOGQ4 Original link: http://www.batteriinsamlingen.se/mistreated/ Title: Re: "The Mistreated" Post by: WingedSerpent on December 01, 2008, 04:27:20 PM The woman not only mistreats the batteries, but her entire electric toothbrush. Mine cost me about $20. Also, don't they make them rechargeable?

Also, don't they make them rechargeable? I think the focus of the commercial was properly disposing of rechargeable batteries. You aren't supposed to put those into the trash. My electric toothbrush is a rechargeable. Brush, drop it on the stand, it recharges and is ready to go the next time. If only everything in life was that simple... Title: Re: "The Mistreated" Post by: Rat-Bat-Spider on December 04, 2008, 09:05:59 PM Yeah, rechargeable batteries are the best! But I know way too many people who say that when theirs can't keep a charge they toss them! It really irks me.
If only more people realized that there are specific guidelines for them. Then, perhaps, in a far-off distant day, we could prevent them from rising up, killing their previous owners, and demolishing a large metropolitan area... But perhaps that day will never come... Hmm... I wonder... Oh, well! :smile: |
