lol . this was really stupid

Directed by: Collin Friesen
A successful 30 something (Chris Parnell) is fired for accidentally visiting a pornographic web site during office hours. His life unravels when the false accusation prevents him from gaining alternative employment. In despair, he commences a series of hilarious suicide attempts.
Very funny, for those that can't laugh........there is no hope for you. Lighten up.
Enjoyable but would be better if it was somehow cut down by a third.
Why are you people surfing the web at work (and even getting fired for it)? It's not an accident you know. And you aren't fooling anyone. When that email from 'NataXsha' shows up, why would you think it was that babe at the bar from three weeks ago? Forrest Gump said it best with "Stupid is as stupid does".
The only web surfing I ever did on the job was to keep bookmarking job ads for very menial and low paying positions.
Oddly, all those bookmarks were deleted every few days. I got them up to 1200 plus at one point. I even highlighted a job that involved catching turkeys for slaughter. Everything about the job sucked. Low pay, no benefits, it was seasonal, and you got to walk around in shit all day. I worked year-round, so turkey-catching wasn't an option. Someone apparently made it the default home page on our web browsers - oops - but luckily 'plausible deniability' is a term worth knowing.
And my mother says I have no sense of humour. She may be right.
Maybe if you can't set permissions on your computer, you should stick to work, and keep your sick, animal-***king habits to yourself (at home, out of sight of your gf). And yes, stop preaching to people about how wrong it is to ***k animals and to ***k dead people.
Most of us already know that. I think I read it in a Jack and Jill book one day. But I am not sure.
I definitely find a lot of humour in your lack of humour.
Those to whom this is not directed will know.
Now I get to do the captcha validation and hope my credit cards don't accidentally get cancelled.
Worthy of a one minute look. No more.
The responses were more amusing.
1st. I got here without having a chance to read a synopsis (foxsearchlight.com didn't make that choice obvious), so I can understand how someone who is offended by bestiality and/or necrophilia might find it offensive, but only in a Leave it to Beaver kind of way. It's actually pretty easy to watch. If you want disturbing, try to watch Heather's, Boxing Helena, or even Parent's (the version where the implication that everyone is eating human meat is depicted throughout the film).
2nd. If the University of Toronto Astronomy and Space Exploration Society is your way of getting into premiere entertainment events, you might need to get out more often. Unless and until the UoTASE launches a ship into orbit, I suspect it's ability to influence Hollywood types will be minimal. Besides, you are supposed to RSVP your own invitations and not rely on others to do it for you. You may have an important position in a largely regional company. This is not enough.
3rd. I found responding to the comments worth more time than commenting on the picture, because it wasn't all that interesting.
Necrophelia and Beastiality are to be looked down upon.As responsible citizens, we should discourage media propagating the opularity of these. but if i take it as an entertainment thats far from practicality the video is enjoyable.

To the humourless:
Obviously, you're all closed minded and should have NOT clicked on this video when you saw the title "FARM SLUTS"! Really, if you're going to criticize this, you should do so based on the acting, plot, theme, cinematography, etc. rather than the subjects of bestiality or necrophilia because you should have know going in that the video would have something to do with sex. I guess you failed to read the synopsis as well. As for the person who says that this is "Ridiculous", obviously so. Did you mean to take this video seriously?? What better way to poke fun at the "sexually perverse" than to make a comedy out of it??? It seems (from your comments) that you take your life a little too seriously and should learn to have some fun every once in awhile. Although your recommendation for Harold and Maude is fitting, it's quite dated and I can understand why you would find this sort of thing repulsive.
I do think that this video does have its moments and made me laugh on several occasions. However, I do agree Parnell failed to convince me that Larry is a "successful 30 something". A minor detail however...
Earlier in July, I was invited to enter a contest with the University of Toronto Astronomy and Space Exploration Society with whom I am a recent member. This contest was to win seats at a ‘Special Advanced Fox Screening’ to the movie Sunshine in Toronto on Tues. July 17. On Thurs. July 12, I received an email from the society president, Derek Lee, telling me that indeed I had won the tickets. I immediately sent my RSVP that my girlfriend and I would both attend. I asked how I might pick up the passes and whether it was at all possible to pick them up at the cinema, just prior to the show as we would be driving about 2 hrs to get there that night. Derek, the society’s representative, replied that we would meet up at 7pm as the film was starting at 7:30pm and he would have our passes in hand. I affirmed that this suited us just fine.

Awesome short. I watched this about a year or two ago when it was first released. I was lucky enough to put it on a dvd and show it to friends who are older and not interested in watching videos on the PC. It's a must have party DVD, not everyone has liked it, but 9/10 do.
Great flick, Parnel is great.

I liked it. A bit of the middle seemed to get a bit repetitive, but over all funny and sad.
how was I to believe parnell's character was a successful 30 something? he had no backbone! parnell's character was probably depressed before he undisputedly lost his job and his girlfriend (and killed his dog). so i'm forced to believe his somewhat controversial office bit was of little importance to the rest of the short. chris is normally great, but in this he's a ghost. i'd much rather enjoy a film about the blonde business woman. i liked her. the funniest scene would probably be chris' first suicide attempt. i did catch myself laughing at the writer's inventive dark humor.
i'm not blaming parnell, even though i should.
that last scene was unnecessary. 2 stars.
Just loved it. Fav' line . . . "the one with the ponies?". I've given up on commercial TV - way too dull most of the time. Thank you.
wasn't impressed and didnt laugh too much, but it definitely looks good
I did not laughed this much in a 3 hr movie. It is ashame it was so short. From beginning to end.....the best.
the acting was terrific--both the women and the 3 men did great work. The production quality is high, music right, lighting nice. Good satire of the wonderful world of contemporary work life.
The Best Video thank's.
Bill o'Reilly should be so *lucky*.
Well that was rather unfunny and distasteful...

Hello, my name is Sean O’Neill. I am a 45 year old, senior consultant with the Loblaw Companies Limited, the largest grocery distributor and employer in Canada. At Loblaws, I play an integral part in formulating policy that governs and affects the lives of thousands of people throughout our organisation. I would be appalled if I were in any way responsible for inflicting the following circumstances upon anyone. What follows is my attempt to convey a terrible and surely unintended result of what I’ve been told is standard Fox Searchlight Picture policy.
Earlier in July, I was invited to enter a contest with the University of Toronto Astronomy and Space Exploration Society with whom I am a recent member. This contest was to win seats at a ‘Special Advanced Fox Screening’ to the movie Sunshine in Toronto on Tues. July 17. On Thurs. July 12, I received an email from the society president, Derek Lee, telling me that indeed I had won the tickets. I immediately sent my RSVP that my girlfriend and I would both attend. I asked how I might pick up the passes and whether it was at all possible to pick them up at the cinema, just prior to the show as we would be driving about 2 hrs to get there that night. Derek, the society’s representative, replied that we would meet up at 7pm as the film was starting at 7:30pm and he would have our passes in hand. I affirmed that this suited us just fine.
I was delighted. So too was my girlfriend. We spent the weekend looking forward to what, for us, was to be a new experience and we expected a fine night out. Neither of us had ever been to a special advanced screening. While we are ardent supporters of the local arts community, we have long looked forward to looking deeper into Toronto’s thriving film industry. This ‘Special Screening’ seemed to be a good primer for our first ever attendance of Toronto’s Festival later on in September.
Throughout the weekend, my girlfriend, Tricia and I perused the various web pages on the movie with growing anticipation and excitement. Tricia spent about two hours the night before getting herself ready for the big night out. During that day, she went out and purchased a new outfit and anguished about what to wear regardless. We were, after all going to a gala event and could be meeting the director of a great film. Finally, the day came. We left our home in Kitchener Ontario for what we both knew would be a long drive to Toronto in rush hour traffic. We got to the Scotia-bank Theatre at about 6:45, a full 15 minutes before we were supposed to get there. We then waited until about 7:26 when a tardy but very apologetic Derek made his appearance. None of us, however, thought that there would be a problem this was an invitation only event and Derek had special passes for us.
Excitedly, passes in hand, Tricia and I prepared for the movie. She got popcorn and drinks while I presented the pass to the ticket agent who informed me that the movie was sold out. I thought that there had to be mistake and repeated that I had a special pass. The agent then informed me that for the past hour, he’d turned away more than 200 others who also had the same pass because, by then, all seat tickets available had been distributed on a first come, first serve basis. Tricia was now returning to where I was, over to the ‘guest services’ desk. I was now talking with Fox representative Michael Schwartz who smugly repeated that the show was completely sold. He added that there was absolutely no way for the two of us to still get seats.
I must admit that I find this completely disconcerting. The pass (which had been in my hands for only 5 minutes) specifically requests participants to RSVP to confirm attendance. I spoke to Derek the representative from the University of Toronto Astronomy and Space Exploration Society and he confirmed that this was done. If this was done by each pass holder, as requested on your passes, then, an accounting of this should have been compiled. Respondents, having RSVP’d attendance should have been given priority. When the number of attendees surpassed the capacity of the theatre then other arrangements should have been made to accommodate everyone. At first, your people were actually gleeful about our plight. They couldn’t have cared less about the inconvenience and embarrassment suffered by my girlfriend and me. We were offered passes to see the movie at a later date as if this was going to smooth everything over. Surely, I thought, your representatives would do something when they knew our whole dilemma.
I then told Michael of the distance that my girlfriend and I had travelled that evening and the time, trouble and expense we’d incurred. Smiling now, obviously not believing what I told him, Michael announced that there was nothing he could do and ran off to attend the opening remarks from the director within the cinema itself. He left a rather powerless and feeble assistant named Jamie Alter to try to pacify our serious discontent. Pointing to the fine print of the passes we were just given, Jamie, as with Michael, smiling all the while, saucily told us that the pass did not guarantee seating. She went on to add that it was Fox policy to ‘over-book’ the theatre for such screenings so as to ensure a successful night for the director and for Fox. I can assure you, that an unsuccessful night for Fox’s patrons and clients translates ultimately into a failure for Fox. I slept alone that night on the couch. Does that sound like I had a successful evening to you?
-2-
As you can imagine, what was supposed to be a special gala event and night out for Tricia and I turned out to be a disaster. We didn’t talk to each other all night, we were so upset. At this point, we both associate Fox Searchlight Pictures with the antithesis of a good night’s entertainment. We were so pumped up and then so affronted by the events that I am taking the initiative of writing you this letter. I’m sure that this is not the sort of thing you want happening to people who are invited to attend your advance screenings.
Looking back now on our evening and what I’ve written above, I can honestly say that words do not express the outrage we both feel at how things turned out. Let me know your thoughts about this incident. I and about 200 others were turned away from last night’s screening pathetically clutching our guest passes that meant nothing. None of the other ‘over-booked-patrons’ who I asked, thought that the apologies of your staff counted for anything. They had absolutely no power, diplomatic skill or empathy. Moreover, they were caught defending the indefensible and they should have and I suspect now know it.
It is one thing to make an honest mistake and then rectify the problem. It is another to intentionally and publicly embarrass one’s customers and clients in such as way as to make them lose face in front of their loved ones. Is this the intended outcome of your policy on over-booking such advanced screenings? I should think not.
Yes, a full theatre is better, but not at the price I and my girlfriend just had to pay.
I have some creative suggestions as to how to achieve full screenings for good movies such as Sunshine without seriously disgruntling people.
Regards,
Sean O’Neill

I view this not as a humorous view of bestiality and necrophilia and more as a bleak and irony-laden view of the damage that can be caused by the ignorant assumptions caused by current standards of morality.
What? psychobabble bullshit is this.
but yet at the end you say:
"This video was funny as any I have recently had the pleasure of viewing. I shall definitely recommend it to my friends. I would certainly be interested in purchasing a DVD that included this video."
Basically you're saying: I really think this short film is pushing horrible things and making light of things we as a society should not -- but I really want to purchase the film when it is released..
You are completely full of shit.
julie ann sterna ,it was dunb
GET A LIFE!!!!!
I really wish that people would look deeper into things like this
1) Beastiality is a common mis-spelling of bestiality.
2) I would like to point out that far from being an approving, humorous video about the acceptability of bestiality and necrophilia, neither are really shown in a positive light. Even if I laugh at the ending, even as I do, I still find this depiction of necrophilia to be disturbing. As to the bestiality, one pop-up advertisement completely screws this guy over for ever and ever amen. Definitely not positive. I view this not as a humorous view of bestiality and necrophilia and more as a bleak and irony-laden view of the damage that can be caused by the ignorant assumptions caused by current standards of morality. At no point does anyone give him any opportunity to explain himself. His co-workers, family members, and potential employers simply condemn him for a fault of which they are convinced despite their lack of evidence. I don't laugh at the situation, but the fantastic quality )and amount) of coincidence and unswerving condemnation that is humorous because of it's incredibility.
3)This video was funny as any I have recently had the pleasure of viewing. I shall definitely recommend it to my friends. I would certainly be interested in purchasing a DVD that included this video.
This shows the power of the corporation- poor guy could'nt even have a little porn fun at work.
i do remimber the dr.demento sond dead pupies it rox just like chris parnell
Don't ya just hate those damned pop ups? I had a friend get busted at work for something like this. He had been doing a web search and while following a result hit a porn site. He closed all the pop up just like this guy does. Then when he left his desk for a minute another pop up opened just like the delayed pop up in this.The G.M.'s Admin saw it when she was bringing a form for my friend to sign. She freaked but accepted his explanation when he told her how it happened. So close.
Unlucky man:)))
Not only did I love this film, I got fired for the same thing.
I am truly sorry for people that one, cannot tell the differnce between reality, and fiction. Secondly, for those that have no sense of humour, they come hand in hand. I am saving this for a friend of mine that works in corporate america, and is frightful something like this may happen I am sure he will enjoy it much, more that I did. It was off the wall:):):)
this was really stupid
LOOOOOOOOL
Hillarious stuff....though the pacing could have been a tad better in places.
Funny Funny Mad!!! R.Zee Jackson say so!!!
He'd look like a pizza after being killed in such a Wil E. Coyote fashion. What's next, a comedy about little boys and girls dying of cancer? A sort of 'Monty Python', and 'Brazil' like quality to the story.
Very funny short film - Chris Parnell is brilliant!
Sounds like someone has a guilty conscience.
All right, Now, I want you to say, "HORSEFUCKER."
Now, I'd like you to say, "BIG FLOPPY DONKEY DICK."
Parns rules.
