How to erase a cd like a boss

Maybe you have company trade secrets or a convoluted terrorist plot to overthrow the US Federal Government with your backyard pumpkin trebuchet filed away into neatly organized directories on your CD-R. Or maybe you really hate your mother's/sister's/brother's/other's John Mayer CD. One thing is for sure, you want it erased.

This is really the only way to erase it properly and for good.

If you don't have access to a high voltage electricity device, a suitable alternative is to chuck that baby into the microwave.
