For those of you who're young whippersnappers, and don't remember the Slinky spring toy of yesteryear, here's a link (http://www.liveandlearn.com/slinky.html) which provides some background.

http://www.liveandlearn.com/pics/slinky.jpg

The theme song in Slinky commercials is an instantly recognizable Madison Avenue classic. "It goes downstairs, alone or in pairs...." (a Slinky spring, when set loose on a straircase, will alternatively flip over until it traverses the whole thing and lands at the bottom, one step at a time.) Even if you haven't heard the original (WAV file of it here (http://www.damnthe.com/test/song.wav)), you've likely encountered a mention, allusion or spoof of it (like the Ren & Stimpy Log song). Which makes it all the more funnier when perverts like this create not just any parody, but a marvellously raunchy **and definitely not work-safe*** take on it (http://videos.shooshtime.com/vids/1cb2b2e376e90cc715299c8bcace9786_dildosong.asf). Enjoy that video!

P.S. If the first link gives you problems, here's a temporary mirror (http://d8.yousendit.com/c/C274055079C767AA3D94C1572ED98C10/d-song.asf).

My...ummm...video and audio capabilities are...awful? "Windows Media Player cannot find the specified file. Be sure the path is typed correctly. If it is, the file does not exist at the specified location, or the computer where the file is stored is offline."

Have you tried saving it first and then opening it in MediaPlayer? If the file associations have gone wonky, then a file-open in MP will still work. Otherwise, try downloading the latest WMP or, even better, one of the clever play anything freeware programs like this one (http://www.gustosoft.com/media-player/ace-media-player.htm).

That's really horrible.

Mostly, I mean, it has HORRIBLE video quality.

I'm referring to the very very visible compression artefacts. When whole words are unreadable because of the compression, that's Too Much Compression.

Yeah but, did you see the butt plug? Cause that's just funny.

not that I disagree with you, but the thing is so funny that I will gladly overlook bad compression. I didnt even notice it to be honest, I wasnt trying to read the chick's shirt.

I'm very sensitive to compression artifacts, especially because I have a huge monitor. :)

But yeah, it's damn funny.

Overcompensation, perhaps? :wink:

Uh, here's an Apple Quicktime version (http://www.damnthe.com/dildo/dildo.html). It might have less compression issues, and it definitely has some outtakes and other funny stuff towards the end, which the first video apparently lacks, that make downloading it worthwhile even if it's the same quality.

That video is damn funny.

And the idea of people having big monitors to compensate for something else is ridiculous! :wink:

No, no. Compensation is handled by the vehicle. I drive a Honda Insight for that very reason.
