I want to see it again. It was the funniest thing I have seen on Youtube ever.

That wasn’t a little funny. It was flippin’ hilarious! Once a week or so I’ve been checking, hoping it’s back online, and today I read that it’s “coming out on DVD.” Bad move, marketing geniuses, whoever you are. I’d never heard of Arj before – may not hear of him again! I’m a practicing Buddhist, by the way, and it didn’t seem anything other than very, very funny to me.

Word on the dharma street is that some folk at Spirit Rock didn’t read the use of location agreement fully, and didn’t grasp the concept of the video. When they saw it, they got all uppity and had it removed. You didn’t hear it from me though.

IF ANYONE FINDS THIS VIDEO AGAIN PLEASE POST WHERE TO FIND IT CAUSE I FOUND IT HILARIOUS AS WELL. THERE WASN’T ANYTHING OFFENSIVE ABOUT THE BUDDHIST RELIGION, IF ANYTHING THEY SHOW HOW PEOPLE EXPLOIT IT BY JUST THINKING IF THEY WHERE THE RIGHT CLOSE AND BURN THE RIGHT INSENT THEN THEY ARE SPIRITUAL. I know we all know people who are like this. WE WANT IT BACK.

I am a practicing Buddhist. I chant and meditate daily… this is not in the least offensive to me. It had me in tears of laughter. I just figured I was the target, a Buddhist. Honestly I came to watch it again a couple days later and its gone.

It is pretty shocking that you guys took it down though. I posted it to several thousands of people and I can only imagine how quickly it went crazy. During the time I saw it it went from 7 views to several hundred… I even posted it on my spiritual blog to help bring laughter to peoples days… cause laughter is one of the best things we can partake in.

Regardless, I better go take it off the blog, had no idea it was gone till now. Sorry to hear about the bad decision.

Wow, what a dumb idea to take this down. I never knew who Arj was until i saw this on some blogs. How many people will now never know how funny this guy can be. Wait a minute, is this Rupert Murdoch?
