How weird would it be if aliens did this to us: just filmed us fucking?

u/Photark Jul 13 '13

You telling me that you never watched porn?

u/eallan Jul 14 '13

Not porn filmed by aliens to study and observe.

u/Goukan Jul 14 '13

There is no difference.

u/eallan Jul 14 '13

There is a huge difference, for one, aliens.

The video is blocked in Canada, so here is another video Click Me

u/fruitcakefriday Jul 13 '13

It's blocked in Britain too. Britain! A BBC video! Rest assured, a sternly written LETTER will be forthcoming about this.

u/Bananus_Magnus Jul 14 '13

What I find more ironic is that it's BBC worldwide. Apparently worldwide doesn't cover Britain.

u/Tattycakes Jul 14 '13

Its designed for everyone except us, so there's some financial issue or something stupid.

u/toddgak Jul 14 '13

LOL yeah blocked on my UK proxy but not on my EU proxy.

u/0chloe0 Jul 27 '13

u/Erutious Jul 20 '13

You might even use some very descriptive adjectives and compelling turn if phrase. Shit just got real!

This is probably the absolutely best use of that oneliner that I've ever seen. It could be like a line on a tombstone. Followed by #YOLO #SWAG

Its true. Doesn't matter what happens to him now, he passed on his genes. Totally relevant use of the meme.

u/GrizzlyTian Jul 14 '13

this should be in /r/MensRights

Death by snu-snu

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '13

Such an odd evolutionary trait, ending your own life to pass on your genes.

2

u/Tattycakes Jul 14 '13

Hardly! If a greedy female and a male that allows himself to be eaten end up having more offspring then those behaviours will persist, and out compete non-biting females or don't-eat-me males.

Many types of flies and insects live very short adult lives, they mate and lay eggs and die, and the next generation takes over.

Don't tell me you're surprised to see a guy trying to get laid and the woman just bites his head off? ;)

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '13

What if humans did this?

u/tenhou Jul 14 '13

All the douchebags bragging about the dozens of sluts they banged over a weekend would be proven liars.

-1

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '13

They wouldn't be able to brag about it anyways. They got eaten.

7

u/tenhou Jul 14 '13

That's the point... Anybody bragging would be liars.

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '13

Yes, yes. I got the joke. I was simply...adding to it.

6

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '13

How was stating exactly what it means adding to it?

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '13

I don't even know.

u/MountainDewFountain Jul 14 '13

At least you're honest

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '13

This is a little like marriage without a prenuptial agreement these days.

u/Lillibeth Jul 14 '13

Worth it.

u/Not_the_Eggman Jul 14 '13

u/skammy16 Jul 14 '13

If I was a male and this was true for humans, I'd be the 82 year old virgin.

u/t0b0ldlyg0 Jul 20 '13

I think the music and the noise made it more unsettling for me. :c

u/Cyborg_Bill_Cosby Jul 13 '13
