Did anyone save those to disk? They were down when I got to them,

I just checked, as of 6:03 a.m. EST, Monday, July 26... the sight loaded
up and played. A second pop-up window opens with the video, so if your
browser is set to deny pop-ups that may be the problem.

Here is the address again:

I get the "site unavailable".

Good call - I had my popup's disabled. ... saw them. Pretty funny,
though for a spoof promo, I thought they could do better.

I saw them was that a corn dog the reaper was eating?
