feelingletdown. I was hoping for more than just a slideshow set to music, but why the heck not, eh? Also, I didn't watch all the way through, so maybe I missed the burst of creative frenzy at the end.... Neale : I reckon I can link to all of 'em in one go.

and what subliminal messages did you receive? The frames periodically froze for me as it loaded. I glanced at it every once in a while, then when it was done I watched it in complete. The second time I went through I didn't notice the frame that said, give me a blow job.

I wasn't watching too carefully, but what did the picture for Bridge on the River Kwai have to do with the film? Was it just a bridge?

I once wrote a spoof of this song on my site set around the world's religions. No, I won't link to it.

Here is another page of links to the lyrics of the song (complete with annoying snythesizer music). There was yet another site like that linked to a few weeks ago here, but I don't remember which thread it was in. I think (late 20th century) history buffs really like that song. the subliminal messages are easily found in the source code for the page, if you want to cheat.

The commentary was clever, and "5 minutes of your life=priceless" thing was worth it.

You know, I've never actually listened to the non-chorus words of that song, so I never knew what the hell the song was about. But now I do! Well, sort of.

I was enjoying it up until the picture of Richard Nixon, when IE promptly crashed. WHAT. THE. FUCK. DICK?
