UPDATE: Man claims to have been online-ordering and returning 110-pound anvils for 8 months

"This may be the funniest thing someone has ever chosen to do with their use of free will," one person wrote in reply to the "anvil guy" and his antics! 

What would you do if you got free shipping though Amazon? Maybe you'd buy some extra things, like new towels or a new TV or something. However, some people think outside the box. They think big! Really big! Not only is this comedian reportedly buying one of the heaviest items he can think of, he's inspiring others to do the same! 

I'm sorry but this is one of the funniest things I've ever heard of someone doing on Amazon. This guy thought of the heaviest item he could, an item that only Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck might need, and then he just bought and returned it over and over (or so he claims). In the videos he's created to highlight such a feat, each 110-pound anvil costs $227.31. 

As one commenter noted, this is one of the most creative ways one could use free will. I kind of hope this is all a joke, because if true, my goodness would it be bad for the planet, the drivers delivering it, and the folks doing the returns. It's just funny to think about this guy discovering the funniest loophole possible and exploiting it. If i may make a suggestion, maybe next up he should try ordering a bunch of the lightest things he can think of, like single sheets of paper or a few feathers that aren't compacted, and see what happens with that. However, many commenters were infuriated by this anvil stunt, and were upset thinking about the delivery workers who are going to be lifting all of these very heavy anvils. 

The comedian claims he'll keep doing this until someone stops him… We'll keep you updated on his project, because as much as some internet haters seem to dislike it, I think this is very funny and hope that he continues doing it until he's halted by the powers that be.
