One of the internet's biggest secrets hiding in plain sight. The VHS Vault: now celebrating their 7^th^ year of curating color bloom, drop-outs and questionably legal content, all in glorious 720×480 NTSC video! 🤣
All kidding aside though, thanks, @minnix! 👍 There are some definite gems amongst the…uhmm…non-gems?
Stay sick, scratch glass, turn blue, climb walls…but don't get caught!

A long time ago (like pre 2000) most regions in the US had public broadcast stations where anyone could submit and air their videos, uncensored. I think typically for free or maybe there was some nominal charge. Usually it started at 10:00 p.m. or midnight when they'd start playing weird stuff like this. Sometimes it was porn, sometimes nasty gory stuff, but I think a lot of times just people who wanted to go on and complain about something.
Weird times
Oh man, your non-gem is what I love. This one got me. It's just the kind of guy I imagined who would be teaching something like this, a dude with "hidden knowledge" that takes every opportunity to share that knowledge with young women who are doing everything in their power to stay away from him 😂
Greg Turkington really went all out this time.
If the IA wasn't on such shaky ground due to current legal trouble, I would love to categorize the Vault into sections that never got a release past VHS because there's a lot of content on there that's available on DVD/Blu-Ray as well. I would just be afraid my efforts would be in vain if they eventually sink.
