Forklift Training Video
« on: December 07, 2004, 02:28:23 PM »
I've got a short film to share with everyone. If you've all seen it before, just ignore it. But if you haven't seen this before, it is seriously one of the funniest short films I've seen in years.

It's all in German, but don't worry, you'll understand what's going on without having to understand every word that's said. It starts off a little slow, but I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you stick with it.

I'd like to think this is the kind of safety training video Peter Jackson would have made...

I know this is probably obvious, but it is, in fact, funnier if you speak German.

I wish I spoke german. I'm going to have to take this video to work and show the guys that use forklits. You may laugh at a video like this (as I did) but I could see guys at my job do something just like that.

Ok, that was extremely weird.  Now I want to see what the Japanese can do with a forklift training video.

It is very disturbing, though I would love to be in an actual forkilft training class where that film was shown.

Look...okay...that first post should have come with a HUGE WARNING THAT IT WAS INCREDIBLY GORY AND BLOODY AND X-RATED AND GROSS.

Excuse me while I go claw my eyes out.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

It wasn't X-Rated. There was only some painfully fake looking violence. Ok, yes, it was gross. but fake gross too.

I apologize for not giving more of a warning for those who handn't seen it. I promise the next time I post a link to a forklift training video that shows gross bodily dismemberment, I will include the appropriate warnings.

If people were grossed out by that, then stay away form just about any action flick to horror flick that comes out today. That was nothing compared to the Evil Dead series. But still very funny at the same time.

There are many, many people who stay away from current action/horror flicks. It's far from the best-selling/highest-grossing circles. So what's your point?
