Arnold Schwarzenegger has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you: The chance to spend a day as his personal guest, helping him crush things in his "own f---ing tank."
In the promotional video for the opportunity — which you can bid to win for as little as $10 — Arnold demonstrates the many things you'll have the opportunity to crush if your name is drawn: a taxicab, a piano, bubble wrap, 66 birthday cakes, a Blu-Ray copy of Million Dollar Baby. Check it out for yourself:
Why is Arnold inviting a stranger to come crush things in a tank with him? To benefit the After-School All-Stars, a non-profit that provides "comprehensive after-school programs that keep children safe and help them succeed in life." Omaze provides more details about both the charity and the completely insane things you'll experience if your name is drawn:
