My comment was a romanization of Rongorongo. Oh, but everything has to be Euro-centric, doesn't it? You can't even bother to learn a lost language, can you, pleb? Your disrespect toward non-white cultures is abhorrent.

Good day, sir!

And was your sense f humour removed at a similar time?

[RB747domme]

So well produced, and so very very funny.

I literally had tears on my face at 3:10 when he turned his eyes to the camera.

Brilliant!!!

Me too laughed my ass off. Then realized i looked like the chick in the same sweat shirt and started crying. :-\ but, so funny.

[grrmonkey]

I laughed, then I cried.

Oh, my good sir, but you are mistaken. Rongorongo can not be recreated using the Latin alphabet, because Rongorongo is in fact a script, not a spoken language, much like hieroglyphics. Therefore, I have deduced that you have indeed made this silly language up in your own head only to befuddle those who would attempt to read it, and then fabricated an elaborate lie to cover you embarrassment.
