Top 10 Pet Harming Electronic Appliances!

October 18, 2008 in Top List comments 12

What's the next funniest home video to other humans hurting themselves? Pets getting hurt of course!

Craig Evans of beefjack.com has posted up a survey of the ten best electrical appliances in terms of hurting pets. Over 3000 people were randomly selected to be questioned as to what home appliance has caused their little sweetie pain.

So which game console came out on top? The Nintendo Wii of course, that Wii Remote is dangerous!

Overall though the winner was the iPod. It's not surprising though, after watching such movies as Scary Movie 4.

  1. iPod (15 per cent)
  2. Laptop (10.8 per cent)
  3. Remote Control (10.8 per cent)
  4. Plasma TV (10.8 per cent)
  5. Wii (10 per cent)
  6. DVD Player (10 per cent)
  7. Playstation (8.3 per cent)
  8. Nintendo DS (5.8 per cent)
  9. Mobile Phone (5.8 per cent)
  10. Karaoke Machine (5.8 per cent)

    Meh, accidents happen.

    Negligence can be the problem, in some cases.

    I'd be more worried about cats (and dogs) chewing on electrical cords in general >_> My cat hasn't been hurt by my game consoles.

    My real question, is how a PS3 managed to hurt an animal, unless they mean the controller in that case as well.

    The Wii is indeed hazardous. Those damned wii-motes and defective straps >_> But mostly, the people waving their hands around like prats >_<

    And I <3 the nyantendo cat XD

    Clearly by the thing falling on the animal. That thing would would kill if you dropped it on a small animal

    The animal could chew on the iPod and somehow manage to electrocute itself or it could choke on the headphones.

    A plasma TV shoots Plasma Bolts, duh.

    How come the 360 isn't on that list? That thing could crush the spine of any household pet easily.

      Actually no it couldn't. The old Xbox could, hell the old Xbox controller could. But the 360 weights almost nothing at all. Now the power brick, that thing could do some damage.

        Thats still apart of the 360 no?

        Hahaha yea Wii's definitely more hazardous then most of those things on that list. Just playing Wii sports flailing your arms like a bird is enough to cause problems.

        Anyone see that commercial with two guys playing some sport game where it was motion sensored and he threw the controller and broke the 30"(or something) HD TV? Yea thats why.

        Also I find it hard to believe PS3 can harm a cat, considering its a little to heavy for a normal cat to dip it over and hurt itself.

    Well they didn't survey every person in existence, perhaps the people they did survey didn't own many Xbox 360's when tallying the results.

    It's almost impossible for any of those listed to harm an animal without human intervention. You'd have to pick whatever item up and use force or somethingt to actually hurt an animal. And by those means, any item in existence could be potentially dangerous. The list is completely invalid. You could kill a cat with a grapefruit if you wanted to.

    Well, the consoles and other larger appliances COULD fall on an animal.

    An upright PS3, I suppose if an animal brushed against it, it could land on them....

    Meh, freak accidents, and just 'one of those things' >_>

    This list is just stupid. You could injure a pet with almost anything. You just got to use your imagination.
