an interesting twist on (internet) philosophy

[ek3]

Everyone, what has been written are some of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent responses were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone here is now dumber for having read them. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

MAN ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow! what a great thread!

*shakes head at vector*
*thinks: shame on you*

i hadn't posted my thoughts because i wanted everyone to post what they felt first.

i wanted to respoond after reading hannibal's post, simply because i agree.
however, had i posted then, i do not think i would have received that wonderful post from sapius.
sapius--
its is interesting that you touted the experiences of so-and-so...i, too, think it has much to do with that particular 'urban legend'...but i wonder how much.

the video is very haunting. i enjoy watching it over and over. *really likes the song*

but in further detail, i have been wondering if the video has a taste of social pressures to it (i.e.-the appearence of spears and the pixel people)

ek3--you never fail to humor me.

i just saw it, the pc at parents' place doesnt respond well to flash..
but this is really a strange kind of movie..

the first time i saw it, i thought it was a strange metaphor for life, all his friends and all the other kids went to live it. Leaving him behind.
The he starts to fear life, tries to ignore it, but it's still there, all day.

really sad, but that's the first thing i thought
after that i listened to the music, a western type of theme in there.
Gave me the feeling for a lonely cowboy, riding his horse, in the desert. No-one else, looking and fleeing from civilization.
Those pixel people, they're.. not clear, not deep, just a badly drawn surface.
Maybe a metaphor for the others in his world.
can't place the britney spears really.

hmmm, just some ponderings of mine, not really an analysis, but that's what i thought the first time i saw it.
one thing, that music.. sounds slavic,
maybe poland or something, by the use of some german when they skip to techno.


ah well, as i said, just pondering a little.

This will be my first serious post. Here is my reasoning for saying it is a message for safe sex.

1) Crabs (aka: Pubic Lice)

2) The first crab was darth vader. What was Darth's most famous quote? What else? "Luke, I am your father." Unless there is an accident, you don't make babies practicing safe sex.

3) One crab was a clown. I bring back to memory the serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who viciously tortured, raped, and murdered more than thirty young men.

4) One of the crabs has an extremely large tongue. It appeared he was licking Darth. Was the tongue for oral pleasure? You be the judge.

5) Another crab had an extremely large nose. It appeared he was poking the clown crab. Some might even say the nose represented a penis. Maybe I'm just a pervert, but that is what I saw.

6) Britney Spears: The universal sex symbol. What else can she represent besides sex?

7) Everyone was dancing but the little boy. Everyone died except for the little boy. The little boy abstained from dancing and he was the only one who lived. Coincidence? I think not.

8) The pixel people were referred to as rock stars. Don't rock stars have the reputation of being promiscuous.

Now, I did not account for everything but I accounted for what I could see.

Alison, do you for one second believe that I am capable of posting a reply that well laid out and organized? I think not.
I am not ek3. Please review the following information.

A=TastinGood
B=Jason
X=ek3
Y=someone thats not me
If A=B and X=Y then X cannot equal A or B.

There I hope you understand.

ok. then who is ek3?

jason, as much as i try, there is nothing about you i understand. but is that my fault?

Yes, let's think about this.

First, let's formalize a formula.

If A=TastinGood, B=Jason, X=ek3, and Y=The Unknown.

A+Y=B+X

Plug in the known vaiables.

(TastinGood)+Y=(Jason)+(ek3)

Now simply subtract (Jason) from both sides. Once this is done you will notice that (TastinGood) and (Jason) cancel each other out. Leaving us:

Y=ek3

Well it looks like ek3 will stay a mystery for now. More information is going to be needed to complete the equation.

Now this is what is quite amazing about a human mind, the power to inteperet the same thing in different ways. Just as in intepreting the nature of God according to different religions, or better yet, different interpretations of the same religion or words that create denominations.

It may well be that this video was creatd by a devote theist to express how one should stay away from briteney, and there by evil. But I do not see the connection on how this promotes safe sex.

I think Shatoush agrees, but I'm not yet satisfied, and will soon ask for elaboration on every point raised by ek3.
