Twelve STIs of Christmas

December 20, 2004 11:33 AM

Twelve STIs of ChristmasI can't decide if the lyrics are better than the animated men or not, but the twelve STIs of christmas is possibly the best public health propoganda I've ever seen. [Flash][SFW. Probably][And technically double post, but it's a great one. And it's christmas.]

Technically?

'technically', because I discovered it just now and wanted to post it and decided you guys would love it. And English is my second language. Honest.

Hey, whyhowcome they're calling them Sexually Transmitted Infections instead of Diseases? Is an STI the British version of an American STD? Or is STI the newfangled socially acceptable way to discuss them thar barnacles on yer Moby Dick?

I love how each new character is standing so confidently, with this "oh yea, oh yea!" pose until the actual infection he suffers from is spoken.

STI replaced STD in the USA health classes a couple years back fandango. I guess they are technically infections and not diseases? The barnacles I mean.

Aha. I didn't get the memo. They're quick, those kids. Thanks!

I can get behind this kind of holiday.

I didn't get the memo either. I was expecting some Subaru fanatacism.

Sucks for the WRX STI owners... now I'm going giggle whenever I see one.

I'm just trying to imagine the guy who had to write this as he ran the different verses by his girlfriend. And the struggles that the animator had while trying to animate his STIck figures.

STI is a trademark of the Shimano Corporation. Shimano Total Integration, i.e. bicycle shifting and braking using the same handlebar mounted lever(s).

It's Christmas already and I was just about to double (or triple) post the 12 STIs site. Saved again by MeFi Search!

Nonetheless, even though I didn't find it for the original posting, 12 STIs is a hilarious site, totally worthy of a "favorite" or a "bookmark". I wonder if the song is downloadable in mp3 format from a site somewhere.

twine42 says [SFW. Probably] I dunno ... probably not.
