Baby squirrel

It would be funny to see the same thing, if it were somehow accidental. The problem is, as soon as I saw the complex rig this guy constructed, it took me about half a second to wonder "During the time it obviously took to plan and execute this elaborate design , why didn't he, at some point, know how wrong that is? What the fuck is wrong with this guy?"

A squirrel getting accidentally, or even impulsively, brought into comical peril, would be funny, yes. But the subject of this video isn't the squirrel, it's the guy who had all this free time, and this is how he spent it. That isn't funny, that's fucked up.

If you're the kind of person who can casually digest images, without wondering any deeper than the utmost surface, then I can see that this could be funny. If you put zero thought into it. Is that honest enough for you?
