I think I suggested this one to you awhile ago. When I saw it, about halfway through the group grabbed the bottle of schnapps and we did a shot everytime we saw something we wished to unsee. Towards the end the dvd was paused every 30 seconds and the bottle was gone. Good times; and bad, bad times.
