"Jesus H. Christ, Houston, we're on the &*!!@# moon"

Evolution Control Committee's awesome soundtrack is NSFW.

Nice video complement to the classic "Onion" article.

I'd go so far as to call it a straight rip off of the Onion Article, with no credit given - LAME

In fact if you have the cd, they DO give credit to The Onion (in fact I believe they SAMPLED the audio from a recording made by the Onion).

However, compared to other ECC audio collages this one is kind of weak.

The spoken audio comes directly from the audio book of The Onion's Our Dumb Century. The oohs and ahhs are sped up versions of the Brian Wilson song "Our Prayer/Gee." So basically everything is stolen.

And if they had really fucking talked like that to fucking Houston, they'd STILL be on the fucking moon.

Check out this transcript.

Michael Collins is orbiting the moon, alone, and Houston comes up with some busywork for him at 112:14:56. For almost 2 minutes, Collins says nothing. At 112:17:39, is Collins pretending he didn't hear Houston?

I like to think so. I like to believe he was saying to himself "I can't FUCKING believe that crap. What the hell? I'm ORBITING the fucking MOON! Screw THEM! This is GREAT!" And then, "aaaaaahhhh kkkkththtthk ... you're breaking up, Houston."

Yes, but did they try to blow it up?

"Pimp shit." Does that mean it's good or bad? I can't keep up with you youngsters and your lingo.

#5: "So basically everything is stolen."

Your powers of perception are astoundingly acute!

(Apparently someone isn't familiar with the ECC, or has a sense of humor so dry as to be indistinguishable from cluelessness.)

“Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket!”

That’s gotta be a regionalism, no?
