It’s a nice day in Australia. The sky is blue with a nice wind chill to offset the subtropical heat. You are enjoying the natural beauty. Then, in the distance, you hear a guitar riff. As you approach. You see 7 guys inside a massive Vulture costume/parade blimp. They wander the brush decimating any Power Rangers villain they come across. “Another day in the Land Down Under”.

[@scribtoon7146]

THE FUCK ARE YOU TO SAY WHO CAN HAVE TO MUCH FUN, HUH?? ASSHOLE??

[@cowboybeep3542]

Actually when asked about this video in particular they absolutely hated filming it. It mostly had to do with the Aussie heat and making it stifling hot inside the vulture, plus how awkward it was getting in and out of it between takes. Honestly I don’t blame them. The thing looks like a bitch to handle. On top of it being mobile as well.

[@orbitalbutt6757]

Yeah there were something like 14 people stuffed into that contraption, and poor Stu was balanced on a single thin metal bar in the neck wearing the entire head like a backpack. Unfortunately, they all perished and were buried at sea. RIP in piss

[@soup_is_good_food5743]

I dunno, vultures get a bad rap, but they are actually very sociable and easygoing ... they can afford to be sociable, they don't need to fight over food. I love to watch them soaring together or hanging out in a tree. I think we humans could learn a thing or two from them.
