I've been lied to.

[Takuan April 20, 2009 7:24 AM]

you mean the nuns were telling the truth?

[fuzzheadgha April 20, 2009 7:26 AM]

Now that is dedication! I'm watching this on the set of a stop-motion film, and it certainly puts our long waiting times between takes into perspective.

[Anonymous April 20, 2009 7:43 AM]

At least he didn't pull her finger.

[Doran April 20, 2009 7:52 AM]

We need some kind of unicorn chaser for uber-cute posts.

Hi Cory! Glad you liked our video!

But can you do us a favor? Please link to our original video, not the poor-quality copy above! That copy was posted on YouTube by a well-meaning stranger. The original looks much better. You can find it here:

And there's an embeddable version here:

Thanks!

*I* know the truth. No one believes me, but I've seen it with my own eyes - I even have photographic proof.

Babies come from teh babby market.

The pope was right - condoms ARE useless.
Rubber gloves, however!

[mmbb April 20, 2009 8:41 AM]

disgustingly cute

[DeWynken April 20, 2009 8:46 AM]

Excellent! I played it for my 5 year old daughter and her 5 year old cousin before they left for school. I'm sure it'll make for an interesting day for their teachers :)

[canna April 20, 2009 8:51 AM]

Ohhh, so that's how babby formed.

[Ratdog April 20, 2009 8:57 AM]

I find this deeply disturbing.

I just don't know what is real anymore...

[angusm April 20, 2009 9:14 AM]

Scientifically inaccurate - fails to show the crucial contribution made by the stork.

[Ratdog April 20, 2009 9:24 AM]

I agree with ANGUSM, I always thought a stork was involved.

[doktor tchock April 20, 2009 10:35 AM]

lovely touch with the curtains blowing along in the right corner.

[PeaceNerd April 20, 2009 10:44 AM]

In nine months, you didn't touch a single one of those books in the case? Time to freecycle some of that stuff...

[benhammondmusic April 20, 2009 11:24 AM]

I knew you could get pregnant from 'blow' jobs.

[UncommonSense April 20, 2009 11:39 AM]

Should have been flagged NSFW... very graphic. Keep it in the bedroom people!

[ophmarketing April 20, 2009 11:48 AM]

@#16: If you go to the second link the creators provided in post #6, they admit they 'cheated' bit, layering in the books and curtains separately, because in the original shots, they got to be too distracting (presumably because they changed rapidly right along with the people).

[ophmarketing April 20, 2009 11:49 AM]

Whoops. Sorry. That description is in the FIRST link, not the second one.

[Ratdog April 20, 2009 12:17 PM]

From the look of it, the baby is thinking "What the hell just happened?"

Obviously photoshopped, you can tell from the pixels

[alisong76 April 20, 2009 4:38 PM]

Someone needs to show the video to this guy:

[Anonymous April 20, 2009 5:07 PM]

We have been lied to.

[Anonymous April 20, 2009 5:52 PM]

Holy Cow on an Altar! That's so funny. My 8th grade teacher lied to me! You get pregnant by having a guy blow on your finger!
*feels so lied to*

This is some genius stop-motion animation. Who made it? Was it for a class, or just for fun? Muy interesante, chicka.

[Anonymous April 20, 2009 6:18 PM]

I thought blowing was supposed to prevent babies

[Anonymous April 20, 2009 6:46 PM]

This should have had a SPOILER ALERT tag!

[sisyphus321 April 20, 2009 6:52 PM]

Wow - we really did it wrong! Twice!

[Anonymous April 20, 2009 7:08 PM]

Cutest baby ever by the way

[Anonymous April 20, 2009 7:26 PM]

awesome! Extremly cool

[Anonymous April 20, 2009 7:48 PM]

This was cute! Even better all the comments!!

[Anonymous April 20, 2009 9:16 PM]

Well that's 9 months well spent!

[Anonymous April 20, 2009 9:34 PM]

They just squashed everything I was ever told. I really really believed that the stork was responsible. I am forever crushed. LMAO-no.ROFLMAO.

[Anonymous April 21, 2009 1:12 AM]

This is clearly fake and Photoshoped. Everybody KNOWS that the Storks bring the Babies...

[Anonymous April 21, 2009 3:31 AM]

bad stumbleupon!

[brainharness April 21, 2009 3:42 AM]

Sadly, not a single book on the bookshelves was disturbed during the entire nine months. Or, Cassidy and Raquel are very good about always putting things back where they came from (except babies!).

[Anonymous April 21, 2009 3:59 AM]

I want to have another one baby this way !

[Cefeida April 21, 2009 4:08 AM]

:D love the video.

And geez, people. The bookshelf is composited in. What are you trying to do, prove the authors are illiterate? Leave them alone. You don't even know what's on that bookshelf, and if they don't have five others around the house that they DO pick from often. Or maybe they read e-books. Or maybe you ought to have better things to do than nitpick dumb stuff like that.

[Anonymous April 21, 2009 10:34 AM]

so stalks dont bring the baby hmmm thats where my mum was wrong

[Anonymous April 21, 2009 2:27 PM]

I believe pulling the finger produces a child of the opposite sex (:

[Anonymous April 21, 2009 8:23 PM]

if it were only this fun and painless! Great Job Ty for sharing

[Anonymous April 21, 2009 9:24 PM]

warebdastork?

[Anonymous April 21, 2009 11:04 PM]

awww that was awesome..

[Anonymous April 21, 2009 11:29 PM]

I STILL believe they are left under cabbage leaves...NO WAY you'll convince me this pornographic stuff is true !

[Anonymous April 21, 2009 11:37 PM]

Obviously 'shopped, you can tell by teh pixels.

[Anonymous April 22, 2009 6:52 AM]

Very well done.

[Anonymous April 22, 2009 9:43 AM]

I have six kids. You mean we did that the HARD WAY!

[Anonymous April 22, 2009 2:55 PM]

[Anonymous April 22, 2009 10:00 PM]

Amazing!!!
