Bloggers Tasered at CES

Posted on January 11, 2007

Gawker and Eat the Press are reporting that Amanda Congdon subjected herself to some intentional tasering at the CES show. Amanda Congdon was the first vlogger at Rocketboom before leaving and taking a job with CBS.

Amanda Congdon received a 50,000 volt jolt to her back delivered by a Taser C2 from Taser International. It looks like it really hurt. Peter Shankman at PR Differently was also tasered and he says the taser "freaking hurt."
