I lobbed this puppy at the Liberal Avenger at lunch. And now The Editors think it is a one punch kill to Sadly, No!? The Liberal Avenger survived, only to bring back this.
The horror. That other Dr. J. in a Chapstick commercial.
My final comment: Here's one for all you motherfuckers!!!
Baltar (who advised on this selection) informs me that this song is over seven minutes long for the following reason: "Do you know how many fucking guitar solos are in it? And they're all bad too.

If you're interested in learning about 80s guitar players, for instance, you can watch that and see that most of those guys were just inept. I mean, George Lynch could obviously play, and Yngwie (sigh), and the guys from Iron Maiden weren't bad, but most of that stuff was remarkable for being so stupid. Where did Vivian Campbell get his reputation from, anyway?

Of course the little pop-up balloons in that particular presentation make it kind of scary. Really, they read like they were written by some uptight twenty-five-year-old prematurely-balding baseball-cap-wearing Catholic kid from Jersey whose idea of adventurous antisocial behavior is having a beer for breakfast on Sunday morning. Like, wow, bondage is so... out there.

I was debating between the original and the pop-up video one, but I figured the silliness would better soften any potential vic... er, viewers up for the later version. :D
