I'm pretty sure this ad will inspire a lot of "six-minute workouts" without the jiggly dumbells.
I missed the possible "Nudge, Nudge, wink, wink, say no more" subtext of this scene when I watched it as a teenager. Watching it now as a dirty old man the homoerotic tension between Kirk and Spock is "set to stun." And yes I realize the "bow-chicka-bow-wow" porno background music was added for effect.
The episode, "Shore Leave," was written by Theodore Sturgeon. According to Iliad Books, "He was one of the first science fiction writers to pen a gay-themed tale with 1953's 'The World Well Lost'."
For analysis of the homoerotic subtext betwen Spock and Kirk (a.k.a. "Spork" by horny fans of slash fiction), visit The Ship's Closet channel on Youtube. You'll never watch Star Trek the same way again.
A little cartoon I made with Windows Movie Maker, Windows Paint and a whole bunch of found sound effects. A disturbing/adorable glimpse into my state of mind over the last couple of years. I'm all better now, thank you.
