Sure, for most of humanity, watching a shiny man in short shorts bounce around on a leftover set from "Friday the 13th" while bad covers of '60s music drones on in the background could double as torture.

Also, having to watch this clip is my punishment for breaking a Jalopnik COTD rule and noting observations on the shimmying hips of the big boys at Toyota and Microsoft as they build an OnStar competitor by one Spiegel:
