Elvira is nearly 60??? Wow. She has some truly amazing &#@! for her age, and wit to match.

I’ve loved her for 30 years now. AND she’s a redhead.

The only thing that would be awesomer than that would be for Elvira’s Twin to post some form of response/retraction/endorsement/whatever in reaction to this video.

Warning, link goes to a MySpace page.

  cough… I think it’s a little overboard to call her a “twin”, hahaha….

*sigh*

I still can’t believe she’s almost 60. I gotta start worshiping the night a little harder.

I’d still tap (in costume of course). That’s all I can add.

Bleeping tits?

I bet Elvira knows where separation of church and state is in the Constitutions, too. (It’s just before the Right to Bear Zombie-Defeating Implements…)

I worked with her at an event about a decade ago. She’s sweet as pie, a true professional, and not a witch.
Yes, she has bigger t**s tits than us and they’re wonderful.

Not only are they bigger they look bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep good! Yeah, what’s with the bleeps? Is that BB or You Tube? Please say NOt the former.

  Yes, that’s right, boingboing magically figured out how to bleep the word “tits” in someone else’s YouTube video produced by someone else and uploaded on their own channel. For fuck’s sake. No, neither BB nor YT censored Elvira. Get a grip.

    At the risk of incurring Xeni’s wrath (I’d only be really worried if she personally showed up at my door to punch me in the gut), the content of her sarcastic response is theoretically possible.
    
    (Stop here if you’re a “TL;DR” sort of person)
    
    Since there are YouTube proxies available which allow non-UK viewers to watch BBC’s content, surely it should be possible to create a proxy which, after X seconds (automagically detecting bad words would be a non-trivial task – let’s keep it easy), would mute the original audio and replace it with a bleep for Y seconds.
    
    Or, just download the video, edit in a bleep, upload it to your own channel, and embed that instead. Your choice.
    - robulus
      
      Yeah, or they could hire a look-alike to re-record the whole thing, and bleep it out. That’s possible too. Or perhaps they’ve found a wormhole in the space-time continuum, and travel back in time and edit in the bleeps before it gets uploaded.
      
      Hey Boing Boing, stop hiring look-alikes to re-record YouTube videos and then censor them, or travelling through wormholes to censor them before they were uploaded, you liberal hypocrites!
      - Astragali
        
        I like your second option. Now you’re thinking with wormholes.
      - robulus
        
        I always think with wormholes. That’s just how I roll.

    summarily chagrined, got it….sniff. sorry, jeez…can’t you guys tell some of us hold you guys in high esteem and have ridiculously high expectations. This is meant as a compliment.

Hey, it’s my undead hometown girl!

I think she bleeped herself, actually, because it’s in the text of the message too.
Frank W

I approve of this @#$%ing message.
Wingo

Wow, she’s nearly the same age as my mother. Weird.

BTW the bleeping is probably so it can be shown on American TV. (I guess?)
benher

*Swoon!* I’ll always love you mistress!
Eric Ragle

Man, after all of these years, I still love to look at that woman. She must be a witch to still be looking so good.

I approve this message!! d^____^b!!

the sad thing is she is a hell of a lot smarter and would probably make more real positive change then the actual candidate she parodying. i’d vote for her over Christine O’Donnell any day.

she also most likely is not against masturbation, considering a large part of her view demographic are masturbating teen boys up late at night hoping to catch a glimpse of her tits.
