It's been weeks since I tried to view a YouTube video that didn't just tell me "This video is no longer available" I would suggest avoiding this service until they get it sorted.

It's you. Restart your browser and try again. I've had the problem before and this seemed to fix it.

Ha, I was just showing this to my brother two weeks ago. This short is one of my favorites.

That is such a great short - that's why it kills me so much that they stole the idea in those Coke commercials with Jimmy Fallon: http://youtube.com/watch?v=oQAB_HPKEPA

Really guys? I thought it was shot really well. That's incontrovertible.

What sucks is the lack of drama. The lack of creativity. I give it three stars and that's only because of the beauty of 99% of the shots.

Awww, this has been one of my favorite shorts for a while. Something about it--I just have to laugh out loud every time.
