Video: The Navy's Raunchy "XO Movie Night" Parrot Revealed!
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000796.html
Greetings and Happy New Year. By now you've probably heard how some
Internet Videos have triggered "career-interruptus" for U.S. Navy
Captain Owen Honors, who was recently awarded prestigious command of
the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.
Unfortunately for the Captain, a series of extremely "raunchy" videos
entitled "XO Movie Night" -- produced and shown on board the
Enterprise around the 2006-2007 period, and featuring then first
officer (executive officer - "XO") Owens -- have been revealed and
widely disseminated on the Net.
It is being reported today that Captain Owens has (at the very least)
lost command of the Enterprise as a result.
Aside from the obvious "never assume videos will stay private" aspects
of the Internet that this situation illustrates, there's an oddity
worth exploring in the videos themselves.
In scene after scene, a strange and colorful "parrot" of some sort
appears, often specifically featured in the footage with Owens --
rather bizarre, indeed.
However, I'm pleased to reveal all regarding this bird -- straight
from the parrot's mouth in fact -- in a two minute video, including an
actual "parrot demo" no less!
