Sonic the Hedgehog Sega opening

The Sega opening from Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. It's a pretty simple video and was put up because I enjoy the tune of it I'm sure other Sonic and Sega fans do too.

In Italy, every time we turned on the Genesis, we felt deeply insulted at this.

"SEEEGAAA!" and we did not start to play yet. Arrogant bastard.

(Here in Italy, 'Sega' is slang for handjob, also widely used as a derogatory term for inepts.)

If you think of the word SEGA it says SEGA

If you think of the word MEGA it says MEGA

If you think of the word VEGA it says VEGA

And If you think of the word PINGAZ it doesn't say PINGAZ

@wutup909 But, rest assured, none of us ever felt really insulted, at all! It was just a joke, for the lulz. Turn on the Genesis, it calls you "SEGA!" ("FAILURE!"), make an annoyed face and comment "well, at least let me play a level or two before calling names, will ya?".

No matter how many times you did this, or if people already knew the joke. Guaranteed LOL all over the Country, still in 2012! That's why Italians still search this intro: because it is a cult classic, a fond memory.

@wutup909 Happy New Year, wutup! ^_^

I am going to do that thing that you must never do in comedy: I'll explain the joke. Did you read what I said in the brackets, dont'you? In Italy, "Sega" is a) A woodworker tool better known as "Saw", b) slang for "Handjob", because the motion involved loosely reminds woodworking, and c) in Italy, being called "Sega" means that you are a failure, or a bungler, or a dummy, or whatever. So we Italian kids came up with the joke!
