Heh. Yup. My girlfriend has one of those. Gift from a co-worker, IIRC. Freaks the everloving crap out of the dog. It's in the top shelf of one of our closets for a reason. In fact, when the vid started playing, the dog stopped chewing on her rawhide, perked up her ears, and stared intently at the computer speakers.

I couldn't play it either, arse_hat. I tried in Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic and Irfanview :-(

You need an mp4 player. Quicktime will handle it.

And yes, that's the monkey screaming - and shortly thereafter, my daughter.

Very cute. We sell those damn things at the bookstore where I work. I wish more kids were as averse to them as your daughter appears to be. No monkey, indeed!

jan it's not that I can't play it I can't access the web site at all.

I hate Quicktime, so don't have it installed. I have Media Player Classic instead. So I'll live without seeing it, although I would really like to see a screaming minkey.

Ha! I have a stuffed lemur that makes the same exact screaming sound and also says "Hi, I'm Londo Lemur!" (in a New York accent, believe it or not). The cats and dog seem to like it as they come running whenever I set it off.

It worked for me using Firefox and Quicktime. I hate Quicktime too but I hate missing out on stuff more.

I can't see the website with IE, Opera, or Firefox. I must be on plinth's enemies list :(
