On the off chance it matters, I deliberately didn't search before I posted this. I figured if it had been posted, the irony was completely worth it.

If I had searched, what terms would I have used? That's an interesting question also.

I don't know the title to the animation, the other thread does not have the title either. So, to search for a flash animation of unknown title, the best terms I could have used are : "video" "flash" "new" "poster" and hope to god there aren't 3999 links to then watch to see which one it is. The links we posted are different, so doing a search by that would also be useless. Basically, given the state of search methods on the net, the only way I'd have found this is to:

1) Have seen it before, and remember enough detail about where to find it again.

2) View every flash link that comes up from a poorly aimed search based on the above terms.

(There is utterly no way I'm going to that much effort, ever, for something that should be fun, not a chore.)

Tounge planted firmley in cheek, I click submit.
