HMTKSteve, notice the ‘Break.com’ in the right lower corner? They post plenty of movies everyday, and sometimes there are nice ones out there

My work PC is blocking the content…
I saw the video this morning while at home but… How does one find the time to search these video sites to find the good stuff?

Crazy hamock though, I’d take one of those.
Reply to this commentHMTKSteve think of Break as a blog. Every day they post about 4-6 videos. You just check on a regular basis. Some are funny some are not.

This is like druging children and telling them to finger-paint… but spiders have no legal rights

I don’t use any plugin. Just the supplied embed codes.
Reply to this commentthat video is antidrug propaganda created specifically as a viral by the Church of Christ.
read the credits sometime, public-schoolers.
Reply to this commentat first, i was mad that they tricked me, I wanted to see the real effects, but in the end I think that this clip was far more funny than whatever the real one would show.
Reply to this commentOne quote…”The Crack Spider’s Bi%&h.” I wasn’t expecting that one!
