That's pretty cool, gave me a warm feeling inside. Also made me feel bad for slapping flyers down when I walk by street pushers.

But it made me feel good about trying to have sex with women who are too young for me.

I wonder if this was also inspired by the Flight of the Conchords episode where Brett gets a job holding a sign and falls in love with a female sign hloder.

This just goes to show that even the dumbest, most pointless short film, about a loser, can be spun into a heartfelt, elegant love story with a British accent and indie music.

Mightn't they both have been referencing actual sign holders with golf sale signs?

These dudes need to take a lesson in sign-holding from The Masters.

Also, why didn't they let the video play 5 more seconds until the girl started screaming 'no' and spraying him with mace? What a let down.

I couldn't get through the whole thing. The urge to skull fuck my eyes with a knife was too much to handle. Can someone post a spoiler on here so I " get the drift " on what was so sweet ?

Who ? No, nice try at a point judgement though. I actually agree with chafedpenis " This just goes to show that even the dumbest, most pointless short film, about a loser, can be spun into a heartfelt, elegant love story with a British accent and indie music. "

In the main shopping street of my city we have a guy (or a gal, who knows) in a frog costume holding a sign for a whatever-sale down the alley. I alway pitied him (her) for the worst job. But that movie almost made me want to become a sign-holder. Sweet.

I'm not familiar with that scene, but doesn't one have to have an actual fur to be a furvert?

Hey, I found a pic:

I like how the frog costume guy (with the shittiest looking costume that might have been sewn by a 4-year-old) is holding a sign for a textile store/sewing school.

this vid made feel all human, a complete change from my usual cynical asshole self.

lasted about 15 seconds, until I remembered that people who actually do jobs like that are shat on and looked down upon and typically hate the work. They certainly dont get promoted to skywriting, or pick up cute chicks on the job.

after I remembered that, I was normal again. it was a nice 15 seconds.
