Their latest entry, however, has left Tracie and me quite perplexed&#8211;not so much the entry itself, but the youtube video that inspired the entry.<\/p>\n<p>The Weebl&#8217;s Stuff video is <a title=\"Weebl's Stuff Thrust Squad\" href=\"http:\/\/www.weebls-stuff.com\/toons\/Thrust+Squad\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. (Yes, it&#8217;s a video, not animation.) When it loads click the underlined word &#8220;HERE&#8221; to watch the precursor youtube video. You&#8217;ll have to have a youtube account in order to watch it because it&#8217;s been flagged as inappropriate for some viewers. On the other hand, if you&#8217;re reading this posting on May 17 or shortly thereafter, you can simply go to the main page of the Weebl&#8217;s Stuff site by clicking <a title=\"Weebl's Stuff\" href=\"http:\/\/www.weebls-stuff.com\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and looking for the heading &#8220;Thrust Squad&#8221; (it&#8217;s currently at the top). If that doesn&#8217;t work try going to the News section by clicking <a title=\"Weebl's Stuff News\" href=\"http:\/\/www.weebls-stuff.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and looking for the same heading.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the video itself is, um&#8230; kind of unusual. It shows several young guys getting together, prancing around, and pretending to hump a ottoman. Yes, you read that correctly. Watch the video if you don&#8217;t believe me. Is it just me, or is it more than kind of odd that these guys would go to the lengths of getting together, giving themselves a team name (&#8220;Peer Pressure&#8221;), setting up a video camera, turning on the stereo, and taking turns (or not) pretending to have sex with furniture? I mean, I&#8217;m over 40 which automatically disqualifies me from understanding anything about anybody younger than 30, but even so, I do have some sexual experience and like to think that I&#8217;m open-minded enough to allow that different people have different tastes in what floats their boats. I can&#8217;t imagine, though, what these guys have in mind. Do they think that posting this video will increase their odds of having sex with, say, a human? Are there young women out there watching this video and getting all hot and bothered? It seems really unlikely to me (but hey, if you are such a person, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with it).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, apparently the fellows at Weebl&#8217;s Stuff found this all rather amusing also, because they went to the length of filming their response to the furniture-fornication gauntlet cast down by Peer Pressure. It&#8217;s pretty funny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WARNING: this post contains material of an adult nature, including discussion of sexual activity.
