Yeah, but not as creepy as that guy gettin' off with that thing. If I owned a motel, I'd definitely be hiding the Gideon Bibles if I saw him checking in.

.Eeewww! Wow... that video was...I dunno... disturbing? I can't even think of a word for it. *shudder* What a sad state of affairs that there are more than 6 billion people in the world and yet someone feels the need to make something like that. Very sad indeed.
