Thanks to Rebecca’s fave TV doctor @zachbraff for bringing this to my attention.
In an effort to keep it safe, I will just give you the facts: This is an American Sign Language PSA about masturbation. This was originally on the official Jehovah’s Witness website to help people “Gain the Victory Over Masturbation.”
Someone took the informative video and set it to the ‘Ignition’ remix by R.Kelly.

Um, so there’s no euphemism for masturbation in ASL, huh?
I can see how this would be funny to watch if you didn’t know sign language but, as a sign language interpreter, I’m finding it quite appalling. While I don’t believe yet respect the Jehovah Witness religion, I can’t agree with or understand why this video was made and then posted on the internet for anyone other than deaf Jehovah Witness members. I’m sure they didn’t expect someone to sync it with an R.Kelly song and have all of these hearing people watch it for giggles but still…between the message they are signing and R.Kelly’s voice setting the mood, it’s creepy in my opinion!
Best Video Ever!
Zach Braff was also my informant on it. When I went to show others, it was pulled down. So, through lots of searching for it, I discovered tons of others. My favorite? When it’s set to that song “My neck, my back….” I honestly (this is a joke, I don’t know sign language and wouldn’t honestly know) believe the second guy, with the green background, doesn’t know sign language. He is SO into it. His faces! He’s some pervert that thought he was showing up to film the instructional video “How To Get Down While Watching Late Night Cinemax.”
This is…..idk what to call this. lol
I was totally able to watch it and totally able to laugh out loud at my desk…I’m sure my coworkers thought I was crazy
bah ! not working
Just to keep things 2-sided, I believe this is the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2icC_Atc9XY&feature=related
Haha…nevermind. Thanks Katy!
I tried to search for it on Youtube, and they’re all pulled off. That didn’t take them long. Dang it.
