Congratulations, Your Duck is Cooked

My daughter once bought a fresh and expensive duck at the grocery while staying with me. I asked her when she was going to cook it, and she looked at me like I had two heads. She hadn't planned to cook it; she expected me to do it. I told her I didn't know how to cook a duck because I don't even like duck. She ended up freezing it and then taking it with her. I never heard about it again. 

You might expect a channel called HowToBasic to give clear and useful instructions for whatever it is they are doing. This recipe for a whole roast duck is clear, but clearly unhinged. Useful? I don't know about that. I spotted a problem as soon as a I saw them set the oven to 400°. Then instead of adjusting the temperature, they adjusted the cooking time. And I kept thinking how expensive fresh whole duck is. I guess the investment is worth it if the algorithm is good to your video. -via Boing Boing

I guess this is supposed to be a funny video? I'm not laughing because I think it's awful to ruin food like that. It's expensive to buy and it's (IMO) a sin to deliberately waste those birds that were killed not for food but for laughs.
I also feel the same about food fights in movies. Wasting all that food for laughs just seems so wrong to me. grrr
