I don't know quite how you would do this, but I'd like a combination of this press release and the first press release announcing he would be a delegate set to the music of the song Dueling Banjos.
It works as an AI music voodoo (thank you autocorrect) featuring Barron as the banjo boy and Tootsie as Ned the piggy fuckee~~r~~
umm, Ned was the pig. This isn't Black Mirror. That had the British PM fucking a pig .. on TV.
Oh, right. Ned was squealing like a pig.
That still works while Stormy pegs Sleepy Don from behind.
Damn, now I gotta go watch Burt in Deliverance again.
Ps. Fun story about the making of the movie. So when the stunt crew was working on the waterfall scene they weren't sure whether they should use a stuffed dummy or a person. They decided to try both in 2 separate shots, with Burt himself going over the falls after the mannequin shot.
Afterwards the crew and director got together to see which shot was best, the dummy or Burt. Someone asked what the mannequin shot looked like and the director thought it was so-so. Then they asked about Burt's shot. The director said it looked like a dummy going over the falls.
