On my local public radio station they keep playing an ad that contains the phrase ‘You really popped the cork on Pandora’s box.’

This does not make me want to give them money.

This makes me want to KILL.

I guess there is no hope…

Person that did this,

Amateur hour ended at 5. Pack up your stuff and move along.

Thanks,

I have no affection for this horrible thing. In, school my video class was the very last one that had to actually try to negotiate this dinosaur. The next class got Avid DV Xpress.

Here’s another demo tape from 1994 featuring Video Toaster evangelists (“Toaster Punks”) Wil Wheaton, Penn Jillette, and Tony Hawk.

The Video Toaster is responsible for what would become the Kurosawa wipe transition of its time: the “Sexy Lady Pulls Down Window Shade”.

If you are on a curling team from Norway, you might as well just wear these pants.  I support them.

Apparently a guy on the Norweigan curling team thought these pants were neat, and got the other guys on the team to buy them.  And then they decided they were their uniform pants.  BRAVO.
