(That is, a few minutes later they require cosmetic surgery to remove the footprint from their ass, and possibly to rehinge their jaw after it's bounced off the floor.)

I'd link to it, so let me know if you do. :)

(For that matter, the fact that you want to do this suggests, in this hyperproductive and hyperconnected world, that someone quite possibly already has. Were I not under a time crunch, I'd go looking...or even just transcribe the damned thing myself.)

Certainly it would lose some impact, but on the other hand it might get more people exposed to it who either can't watch the video or aren't sure they want to take the time.
