Crazy Kiwis #274
Sun 21st June 09, 7pm
Definitely one for the "you can't make this sh*t up" files. The latest New Zealand celebrity is ... a 25 year old washing machine. Its owner posted a humorous TradeMe ad -- the Kiwi Ebay -- to get rid of his noisy old washing machine, and it became an overnight Internet meme.
Despite setting a $1 reserve on it, he sold the machine for $5,000 to an electrical firm, who are planning to take it on tour! The guy's even set up his own website and started selling Scary Washing Machine T-Shirts!
Kiwis do embrace silliness where possible, and good on 'em for it.
