This is hilarious: Arianna sounds like she's a porn actress, and Bustamante sounds like he's got lung problems. Good thing Madeline Albright isn't here ... that lady had a 10:1 "uh" to real-word ratio. posted by WolfDaddy at 11:37 AM on September 22, 2003
Arnold stuttering about halfway though is priceless. posted by monju_bosatsu at 11:37 AM on September 22, 2003
Could someone explain to those of us without sound at work, what the hell this is? The website does quite a poor job explaining. posted by starvingartist at 11:40 AM on September 22, 2003
Oh, and ... "LanguageFilter." posted by ZenMasterThis at 11:44 AM on September 22, 2003
the inner labial images were moderately interesting, but i couldn't make hide nor hair of the text, which is nowhere near as inventive as, say, timecube. posted by quonsar at 11:46 AM on September 22, 2003

Um, can I get a "NSFW, Amen" on that one? Christ. posted by arielmeadow at 11:51 AM on September 22, 2003
Unfair! Unfair! Ubberoth got a Yeah included in his, while others only got Umms and Uhs posted by m@ at 12:16 PM on September 22, 2003

How are pictures of vocal cords not safe for work? posted by atholbrose at 12:24 PM on September 22, 2003
DUDE! Did arnold just say "Paul is dead?"
Yeah I don't get how this is a NSFW page... posted by Dome-O-Rama at 12:27 PM on September 22, 2003
I swear I can hear music, as if some of these samples are being played on a synthesizer.
Starvingartist, it does do a piss-poor job at description, I agree. Basically it's the intake of breath and gutteral noises people make between words, spliced together. posted by Busithoth at 12:27 PM on September 22, 2003

Oh. My cubicle paranoia got the better of me -- I clicked the link, saw drippy pink flesh, and assumed the worst.

A better idea would be to cut all the fillings that politicians use to mask what they actually think... or better, just do a bit of cut and paste like the Bush wacked union speech... posted by samelborp at 12:52 PM on September 22, 2003
arielmeadow, I thought you meant NSFW due to the hot-n-heavy breathing of Arianna's clip, which could be misconstrued as it emanates from your workstation speakers. posted by shoepal at 1:19 PM on September 22, 2003
Yes, shoepal, I like your interpretation better. Makes me sound like less of a dumbass. posted by arielmeadow at 1:51 PM on September 22, 2003
It seems to me like some kind of weird hoax by a bored grad student or something... are they actually serious? posted by Shoeburyness at 1:57 PM on September 22, 2003
Huh. Eh ... uh ... ... ... Meh. posted by rusty at 2:04 PM on September 22, 2003
No, they're not actually serious. The obscurity is part of the dada joke. See, for example, their history of language removal page. posted by macrone at 2:28 PM on September 22, 2003
I think the mp3's of the "ecstatic opera" are actually quite beautiful. posted by mert at 2:31 PM on September 22, 2003
Interesting how the different voices are still identifiable, even with no words. posted by aeschenkarnos at 6:20 PM on September 22, 2003
