Indian Head Test Pattern Simulator

Created: 2009
For: My YouTube channel
Purpose: I'm still trying to figure out why :)

A longtime sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous uses the Baby Boom television icon to practice spiritual meditation, to the shock of the guy he sponsors. It's a sendup of an equally stupid routine by the comedy duo Cheech and Chong, on the last track of their album Big Bambu. I have friends who are AA members that love this video, and there are legitimate links to 12-step support groups in the closing credits.

This admittedly stupid video was created because I have a page that mocks this infamous test pattern (complete with the high-pitched tone), and there have been literally thousands of hits for it, making it the most popular feature on Pandapolis. Since posting it on my YouTube channel, it has become far and away my most popular video according to total views.

I don't know, man; it's just a movie about Indians, but it's BORING! :)
