Well, that was a heart-warming message.

I'm not that familiar with the Little Mermaid, but to my unpracticed ear, it's hard to tell it's not the original singer. Well-done parody.

I wasn't going to click on this because the post didn't do a good job of explaining what it was, and I didn't want to get grossed out... but I assure you, to anyone curious- totally worth it.

They did find someone with a really similar voice (or they found someone who can do a great impression) -- either way, I'm impressed. Homegirl does need to work on breath support though
Is it just me, or did that last shot, in this new context, look downright...labial?

So this is from that new "restored" DVD release Disneys been advertin' up a storm on TV? The Abyss and The Orifice chapter? Had no idea. This is probably one of those "alternate endings"

The only funny line in it was the part about... what's the word? Burn!

Hmm. Completely brilliant, save the sailor talk, which is a waste since the vocals are so dead-on. I wanted it to be believable while still being about vaginas.

It's Disney 2.0*: poignant and ... (what's the word?) raunchy.

Did anyone else notice that the before/after images for disney's "digitally enhanced Little Mermaid" merely showed a whiter mermaid?

So strange. I was just talking with some friends about who our choice Disney princesses were, and after saying mine was Ariel, I suddenly found myself under attack over the issue of mermaid genetalia. I didn't care though, because, is it the genetalia that's important?

Y'know, I saw this earlier today via YTMND. But this movie isn't animated-GIF-based.

Demogorgon, that's something you need to have a serious discussion about with your own genitalia.

Do we really need to answer this?

Yep. That gave me a chuckle as well.

Seconded that the singer was a talented mimic, but the lyrics seemed really forced.
