Suddenly very hungry for chocolate Easter bunnies.

correction:

I was into it until the jihadist decapitated the bunny

This is obviously subliminal terrorism disguised as a love story. We need a video that shows the attacker getting fried. That would be sad, yet happy

I can’t believe I’m commenting on this retarded video but…

It represents a destruction of the environment at the expense of our health, plants, and family.

-bowl of fruit. -Cacti. -Family portraits. All in the background while our beautiful planet (the bunny) is being melted away by electric appliances… all by the hand of man. ooooo

Then again, I think it’s just a retarded video.

he’s competing with “will it blend?” nooby heat (this freshman filmaker oobviously didn’t come from a family of steel workers…) and his silly thermal tech stands no chance against blendtec.

A waste of perfectly good chocolate. I’m metaphorically challenged.

That’s just wrong.
The hair dryer one was horrific!
And now comes the weird dreams tonight.

Laura02420 on November 26, 2007 at 6:48 PM

No, the hair dryer was the best one. The movement of the melted chocolate was hypnotic and an excellent visual example of chaos theory.

It was well done. I’m not sure what the artist wanted it to mean but to me it was how I felt whenever I got one of those hollow bunnies. I always thought it was a rip-off and generally smashed them to bits before eating. .

OK…of course I just had to watch this video over and over…trying to “get it” (and I was an art major)…I even went to the source, and who made it, and for whom…but still, nothing.

This is gonna bother me all night now.

JetBoy on November 26, 2007 at 7:14 PM

If it’s art then where is the dripping faucet or the suicide note? Hmmm? Hmmm!!?

All three apparatuses use electricity. If it's an attack on progress, all those who toiled over the millennia to invent/perfect it, weep.

The first time the humpbot appeared here, AP said something about finding it hilarious yet hoping no one saw him watching it lest they think him mentally challenged. I feel the same way about this one.

Very well then. Just checking. Carry on.

How about combining several of these comments?
Chocolate represents everything that is good.
The bunny represents the innocents of nature
The various heating implements represent technologically created global warming.
The little girl audio represents how humans go blindly along their way ignoring what is obviously right in front of their noses.
…
or another possibility as was pointed out by MirCat on November 26, 2007 at 6:24 PM

Metaphor? Naw, just a chocolate bunny snuff film.

If he did, it would have been the iron that melted.

But his core?

Still totally hollow.

I posted this in the Lott thread, but thought it deserves attention. Perezhilton.com, a highly viewed Celeb Blog, is reporting as fact that Trent Lott is involved in a Gay Prostitute scandal and thats why he’s resigning. It appears to be propaganda, but of course many eyes have read this already….

jp on November 26, 2007 at 7:07 PM

Gay prostitution?… or the more likely reason I heard on FNC earlier today. Evidently a law takes affect in January that keeps retiring public officials from becoming lobbyists until 2 years after they leave office. So if he gets out before the end of the year, he won’t have to wait that long.

The bunny obviously represents the alpha male.

My little girls’(5 yrs and 9 months) pediatrician is from India. The 5 year old says that he is a “chocolate man”. This video suggests that modern inventions of the white man, i.e., the iron, etc., are indicative of the eveel white man’s desire to rid the world of all “chocolate men”. Or,as someone posted above, maybe it just shows that heat melts chocolate. Or something.

That video was beautiful.

The bunny obviously represents the alpha male. Although his exterior seems attractive, it is a weak facade – easily pierced by the heat of life and hiding a hollow, boring interior.

At least, that’s what I want to believe.

How about gradual the melting away of our children’s innocence?

jman on November 26, 2007 at 7:14 PM

That was my first thought, too.

The music isn’t melancholy by itself. It’s an adolescent girl still “la-la-la”ing contentedly even as she knows that her entire perspective on the world is changing with her newly blossoming adult-ness. So I think it symbolizes the changes ongoing in the “woman-child” just before she begins to really notice them.

Or not.
