Yikes! I Watched Five Times And Still Can't Tell What It Is!!!

Each time I watched the video, I came up with a different assinine interpretation.

A centipede that just lost 96 of its legs, but hasn't realized it yet?

The inventors' mothers watched too much "Beenie & Cecil" while gestating and inhaling ReddiWip?

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sequel: Hidden Dragon Tugging Couch?

Four recently-severed wild mustang penises trying to hump the same sawhorse?

Simon's new reality tv show: "Dancing With the Bars"?

The typical outcome of following the instructions of one of those Saunder's furniture kits (e.g., rocking chair)--two left sides and no right side with foreign instructions and diagrams that don't match, miscellaneous missing parts and well....you know the rest

Any other ideas out there?????

-it got attacked on all sides by four Ninjas?
-the side impact was more forceful and it landed on its side?
-one leg got stuck in an animal trap?
