Amanda’s Shocking CES Show

Talk about doing anything to get ratings: Amanda Congdon turns in some truly shocking coverage from CES, where she decides to test-drive the perp end of a personal taser.

Before that show I’ve been liking it more though. Yeah, and her personal vlog is much more my speed.
