NOTE: I have a Spike/Buffy version of this video, which Fox has censored/blocked from YouTube (not really sure why, it doesn't have anything that other videos on YouTube have, but whatever...) Anyway, I've uploaded it onto my website and you *may* be able to view it at this link:

When the page comes up, scroll down about halfway to get to the video. Some computers can view it, others can't. You will need to allow it to run an Active-X add-on in order to play the video from my website.
