Link is blocked :( Was the ghost robbing the place? I wish there was a ghost in my house and that she was hawt. Seriously, without the video, I'm recalling a monologue I saw at the Laugh Factory about perverted ghosts.
No, just terrorizing a baby, but your "perverted ghosts" thing reminded me of that scene in Ghostbusters that occurs during the "our boys are becoming household names" montage when Dan Aykroyd's character appears to be receiving/dreaming about receiving fellatio from a hovering female ghost. That scene always bugged me, because there's no context for it, and no explanation is ever given about it -- it just happens: ghost goes down on Aykroyd, then one of the other guys falls out of bed, and then... on to the next sequence.
I always wondered what the hell that was all about, but it happens so fast, I could never really make heads-or-tails of it.
A few weeks ago, I finally got to watch the movie on DVD with commentary. Apparently, that scene is a brief snippet of a much longer dream sequence that was edited out of the movie before it was released. (One thing I never even noticed is that Dan Aykroyd is wearing some kind of period uniform.) For whatever reason, they decided to leave just that little portion of the scene in the movie (my guess is they spent a lot of money on the special effect, and didn't want to feel it was completely wasted). The result? Millions in profits, and years of confusion for at least one overly anal little audience member.
I've seen that video before and I keep waiting for it to get interesting or funny but it just never does. I seriously wonder what the point of it is. I think they're trying to be "tongue-in-cheek" funny, but they miss it by a long shot.

I'm pretty sure that was a dream sequence. He deals with ghosts all the time so he has a dream about getting blown by one. I'm pretty sure it's Akroyd that falls out of bed.
