The research may be mind-blowing – pigs brought to a state of near-zombiedom, to discover new ways to help soldiers survive massive blood loss. But the video promoting that science so is freakin' awful, it deserves a place among the Iron Eagles, our tribute to the most awesomely bad films of the military-industrial complex.
This entry comes from the Pentagon-funded Texas A&M Institute for Preclinical Studies, or TIPS, which is doing mighty interesting work at the medical science's bleeding edge. Too bad TIPS' videographer is anything but, putting together a promotional flick with grade-D special effects, wannabe-dramatic slo-mo, and a soundtrack that jumps from hammy baroque to oh-so-urban turntablism. I've tried three times to watch it to the end, and failed at each attempt. See if you can get to the last frame, without becoming zombified yourself.
