What's with the Vietnam war images flipping in and out of there all about? Pretty lame.

The maker of the vid is probably trying to reinforce the idea that it looks like the dog has the 1000 yard stare.

When you watch that animation with the dog and the cupcakes there are 3 black and white images that flip in for about 3-4 frames right when the dog stares at the tray; 3 kids running, a soldier on a machine gun, and that famous image of the South Vietnamese soldier blowing the head off of the North Vietnamese (general?) I think. And no I'm not nuts- view it in Firefox. BTW I didn't mean VINMAN was lame, just that the animation was disturbing.

Anyway, here's a random pic.:

Yeah, we all saw it... Bill was just pimpin' you.

Think the idea was that the dog had been conditioned/brainwashed (by the woman w/ the tray) not to eat people food. By using war pics...

Do we have to 'splain everything to you?
