The Link goes to Gizmondo (it's wrong in Metzger's tweet). Found the real link (below) at http://www.dangerousminds.net/.

That Duck Tales video was incredibly disturbing. I feel a bit ill now.

I'm with Nylund. I don't think I could watch that Duck Tales thing more than once. I hope the "sanity check" involved is "yes, that does still set my mind gibbering". Because that's one saving throw that I definitely want to fail.

Actually, I'm still kind of horrified by it, and I watched it two hours ago.

I loved the Ducktales one. I haven't laughed that hard in a long, long time.

In fact, shouldn't that Ducktales video be rated NSFW? Or is forcing someone to appear in pornography at gunpoint 'funny' when the character is a duck?

That alternate Ducktales intro is a classic. Yes, it is disturbing to an extent, but that's partly what lends it its sick humour.

To the complainers above, if you go around the internet just clicking and watching whatever video you see posted, guess what? Eventually you're going to see something you wished you hadn't.

Ah, I remember the DucktTales video destroying my childhood memories a while ago. Most distrubing thing I've seen on the internet.
