Mortal Kombat song, a lesson in discretion

Here's another video in the proud tradition of young men, often shirtless, lip-syncing funny songs in their bedroom, to be captured by a crappy webcam, then uploaded to the Internet for the entire world to watch, speechless. I can't believe there's more than one of these!

Nevertheless, this one has a video game twist. Instead of singing some random song, they're singing along to the unmistakable beats of Mortal Kombat. While we can't begrudge their enthusiasm, we want to remind any potential webcam superstars that the Internet will be around for a long time. Search capabilities will only improve.

If you want your fellow Marines, during the bloody spacewars of 2037 battling the Zebesian Space Pirates, to do a quick Google™ search during a late night game of cards and come up with a video of their sergeant dancing around, wrestling, mouthing the lyrics to Mortal Kombat during a stirring performance -- complete with costume changes -- of Le Kombat Mortal, then be my guest. I encourage everyone else to exercise discretion. In the meantime: "Fight!"

This has been a Joystiq public service announcement.

(Note: For the curious: the guy in the background of the picture, with his shorts down, appears to be urinating into his closet, while the guy in the foreground is doing his best Sonya. And for the REALLY curious... there's more.)
