… for suggesting that I link this shockingly obscene NSFW video. And by “shockingly obscene NSFW,” of course, I mean “Precious and Few,” the sappy 1972 love ballad by Climax.
Everybody knows the classic “Rick Roll,” whereby you trick somebody into clicking on video of Rick Astley singing “Never Gonna Give You Up.” In the comments on an earlier post, Dan Collins one-upped the Rick Roll with what we might call the Climax. And just to maximize the effectiveness of this technique, I’ve created a special URL:

Send that link to an unsuspecting co-worker — improvise your own irresistible subject-line teaser — and then listen for the telltale piano-and-strings intro from the neighboring cubicle that proclaims to everyone in the office: YOU’VE BEEN ‘CLIMAXED’!
UPDATE: A commenter offers an alternate URL:

“The Climax” is going viral, y’all.

My eyes. My ears.
The horror of that shirt with billowing belly and chest hair is one I am not sure I will ever recover from. Not safe for work? How about not safe for those with eyesight! Damn you Stacy! Damn you and Collins for that.
Now, if I can just find an Amazon Associates link for Brain Bleach …
Maybe you deserve an Obama budget…
I didn’t know this until now, but here’s the same singer as one of The OutSiders singing Time Won’t Let me
I cannot click. I can’t.
Thanks for the reminder that America can survive even such horrors as that.
Hit the tip jar before we Climax again!
Call me Oedipus.
Joe’s right: Damn You All To Hell!!!
What’s particularly shocking about this acoustic atrocity is that the lead vocalist, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Geraci, was none other than Stacy McCain, operating under a pseudonym.
Shocking, I know. But when have you ever known Stacy not to be trying to turn this sort of shame into a triumph?
Good onya, Dianna.
Now I really need the Brain Bleach –STAT!

I used to like this song. It will never be the same now that my eyes have been assaulted with the video.
That’s what we’re here for, man.

“I blame Dan Collins…”
My axis of blame goes something like this:
If I can’t blame it on Bush, I blame it on Murdoch.
If I can’t blame it on Murdoch, I blame it on Stacy McCain.
If I can’t blame it on Stacy McCain, I blame it on Dan Collins.
In that spirit, I’m off to paste http://j.mp/BlameDan into a few of my favourite blogs.

Watch this, if you dare.
I warned you.
I used to love that song when I was a kid. Confession: I still like it. Which is odd, because I otherwise hated all that soft, soggy, ballad-y tripe with the ooh-aah choruses (chori?).
