That's entertainment! This is one hundred kinds of awesome. →[More:]
Although the bit at about 1:40 does remind me of the scene in John Carpenter's "The Thing" where the head grows spider legs.
Your link to your Metafilter post is a prime example of why I hardly ever post there. The last thing I posted to the blue, some prick came on and said 'Boing Boing two days ago. Digg three days ago' or something like that. So fucking what? I don't look at either of those sites, so how the hell would I know what's on there? It wasn't a double on Metafilter. And then this big debate starts about the 'quality' of the post.
You were slammed for posting a single link post, even though it is a totally awesome and fantastic link.
One day I'll post a link there to MOFB. That'll teach 'em.

Heh. I posted this to MonkeyFilter earlier this evening (with MeCha attribution, of course), and out came "two years since Metafilter dismissed it as a SLYT post." Um, okay.

Huh, I thought that the reception was overwhelmingly positive, with the (single?) exception of Rhomboid, who was admittedly being kind of a dick. Everyone else, though, seemed to enjoy it-- and said so.
