$1.3 billion for flu vaccines or green jobs? If your pollster sneezes, you're more likely to say flu vaccines.:

Last May, University of Michigan psychologists Spike W.S. Lee and Norbert Schwarz sent an experimenter out to shopping malls and downtown business areas to see if people would rather have the federal government spend $1.3 billion on the production of flu vaccines, or $1.3 billion to create “green” jobs. The experimenter got responses from about 50 people. In about half the cases, she coughed and sneezed once before handing over the questionnaire. In the other instances, she simply handed the form over.

The result: Of the people who had just witnessed a sneeze up close and personal, 47.8 percent said that $1.3 billion should be spent on vaccine development. Of the people who had not been a party to the sneeze, 16.7 percent thought flu vaccines were the way to go.

Just seeing the word “mashup” is pretty comparable to feeling the cold, boney hand of death run down my spine. But in this instance, I didn’t regret watching.

Props to Scottberg on the find.

This is becoming a Halloween tradition.

So don’t forget, kids — ANYTHING can happen tomorrow. Even Tim Curry singing with some incredible 80s special effects in the background.

There is no way for me to possibly recommend this video more. It’s honestly a top-5 all-time favorite web video. WATCH IT ALREADY! STOP READING! CLICK PLAY!

If you told me the rest of my day would be spent just watching this clip over and over and laughing hysterically, I would be fine with that.

Wow. Major credit for leaving the tongue free of teeth marks on this one.
