Art. It’s a subjective topic. One man’s idea of a masterpiece is another man’s Samsung Galaxy S4 cooked to death. Yes, if you like your smartphones burnt to a crisp then you probably need to meet this man. (Tip, don’t go alone!)
His name is Kenny Irwin, and he’s managed to get hold of a pre-release Samsung Galaxy S4.
Picture the scene. Kenny’s got one of the most highly anticipated and desired phones in the world well before anybody else. It’s got a stunning 5″ full HD screen and hugely powerful processing power. What do you think he’d do with it?
Kenny cooked his phone.
This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise when you find out that Kenny also owns a 5 tonne microwaving robot. As you do.
Kenny thinks he’s on to a good thing though (and maybe he is), because Kenny is selling his microwaved S4 for a cool $5,367 (that’s approximately £3,476). This is because it’s no longer just a smartphone, it’s art!
Want to watch Kenny kill his phone with his 5 tonne robot? Well he’s even made a video!

Kenny proudly announces:
It’s the world’s only microwaved Samsung Galaxy S4 thoroughly microwaved and GUARANTEED NOT TO WORK ANYMORE
There is an added bonus though, he goes on to say that you will also receive
a hand crafted human skull full of old dirty used underwear.
Well why didn’t you say that sooner, Kenny; where do I sign?
Why anyone would want an overdone Galaxy ready-meal and some old pants is beyond me. Maybe I’m just not seeing the deep meaningful genius behind it. If you are, however, then head over to ebay and place your bid quick!
I thought one of the prerequisites for the production of art (especially art somebody hopes to sell for £3k+) is that you’re an artist. Not a moron.
Kenny’s work is great… I became a fan after I saw him microwave a Nintendo Wii U.
A complete insult to anyone who’d love one of these and couldn’t afford one.
This guy is an idiot, and the type of person who’d show a homeless a guy a wad of £20 notes before setting them on fire in front of him, just because he can.
The guy is a complete and utter w****er!
Although upon reflection, all he really seems to be doing is microwaving it to get enough publicity to be able to sell it for 3k (lets face it, some idiot is going to buy it, which is even worse if you ask me – when I last looked there were 2 bids on his ebay auction), so he can then… feed his family maybe? Who knows 🙂
We are all just jealous cos we didn’t think of it first 😉
What a pile of old cock.I’ve never liked all this ‘alternative’ art chod and this is just the same.
I’m with you Ronnie, Deep meaningful genius, nah mate, you are a chancer.
I’ll have 2!
Umm..not.
Dan’s got one now. We could take it down to the Coolsmartphone canteen when he’s not looking 😉
It’s meatball day today, can you grab me some while you’re down there…?
It smells a bit of overdone OLED now; you may want to wait a bit!
Please be advised that Ebay deleted my original auction for my microwaved Sansung Galaxy S4 & Underwear Skull Combo artwork package. I spent forty minutes on phone to resolve issue and three top supervisors in S&T Dept agreed that the buyer will chisel the underwear out of the solid cast resin skull to wear them so they told me that is why they said my listing was a voilation if that makes any sense to anyone. They forced me to relist microwaved Galaxy S4 artwork without the skull. New listing found here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151037215252
