Melbourne, Dec 7 (ANI): A washing machine with the description of being so scary that it can make kids cry has won the top spot as New Zealand’s most viewed online auction.

Kiwis apparently loved the humour of the advertisement, which described the thunderous 1980s machine as a frightening beast that “makes guests scared and children cry”.

“Once, while washing a load of towels, it got a bit out of balance and so out of control for a minute I swear I actually saw a porthole [sic] to another dimension open above it and, just for a second, there were dinosaurs on the other side and they looked scared too,” News.com.au quoted the owner as writing.

“On heavy duty spin cycle it sort of sounds a bit like the tortured howls of 1000 undead writhing in the sulphury pits of hell mixed with a train with carriages full of scrap iron sliding down the road with no wheels, on fire, into a bell factory.

“If you’re either completely deaf or hate your neighbours this baby is for you,” the owner continued with his description.

He also added that the proceeds from its sale would be used to pay for counselling. (ANI)
