Rome celebrates Halloween by smashing pumpkins with their Libertine boot.
Rome SDS makes a boot called the Libertine. The definition of a libertine, according to the Oxford American Dictionary is "a person, especially a man, who behaves without moral principle or a sense of responsibility."
Meet Ian Fung, who apparently is a doctor, a very young doctor, and his metal henchman George. In their lab of Waterbury, Vermont, Dr. Fung and George pose a simple question: Will it break? With Dr. Fung's boot smashing device, George embodies the spirit of a libertine and acts, clearly, "without moral principle," destroying anything in his path. The target? Pumpkins. Not surprisingly, these pumpkins break. The boot wins. We're not sure what the scientific advancement is here, but Dr. Fung proceeds to take notes, though he might just be doodling. Again, what kind of doctor Fung is, it's not clear. But it's halloween, and it's cool to break stuff. Especially when you look like George.
Check the clip after the jump. And then go get wicked and throw some pumpkins.
