Oh sorry.  You really aren't missing anything.  Just trying to be funny.

They are videos of more useless junk powered by USB.  One is a humping
dog, one is a pole dancer and one is a French wine tap which claims that
you can order wine via the Internet and then it dispenses it via this
USB spigot.

I worked for years in the multi-port serial card business at both
Digiboard and Comtrol and USB was really a joke to us all in the beginning
and so I have amassed a collection of ads, videos and other puns on the
"killer USB apps" such as naked pole dancers.
