Vagina Powerrrr (Youtube)

Warning: NSFW. Not for kids. Contains sexual language.

We should get our own Public Access tv channel, man. We're missing out on hilarious gems like this.

Citizen broadcaster Alexyss Tylor hosts a talk show with her mom, about Vagina Power and Penis Power. And from the looks of it, she's talking from personal experience. You can visit her websites here and here (this is down, I think)

The whole clip is full of great quotes like:

"If you wanna earn yo man, you gotta learn yo man."

"She insane, her mind ain't good because the penis done ejaculated in her brain."

"Some men, they have so much heat and intensity in their penis, that you can feel it radiating through their clothes, just to touch the penis, it's on fire, like fire underneath their skin!"

Bizarre stuff. Watch it before it gets removed again from Youtube.
