Announcer: Are you embarrassed easily? I am. But it's nothing to worry about. It's all part of growing up and being British. This course is designed to eliminate embarrassment, to enable you to talk freely about rude objects, to look at akward and embarrassing things, and to point at people's privates. The course has been designed by Dr. Karl Gruber of the Institute of Going A Bit Red in Helsinki. Here, he himself introduces the course.
Dr. Karl Gruber: Hello, my name is Karl Gruber. Thank you for inviting me into your home. My method is the result of six years work here at the institute, in which subjects were exposed to simulated embarrassment predicaments, over a prolonged fart - period! time! (fart) ...Sorry. Lesson 1: Words. Do any of these words embarass you?
Voice over: Shoe. Megaphone. Grunties.
Dr. Karl Gruber: Now let's go on to something ruder:
Voice over: w***el rotary engine.
Dr. Karl Gruber: Now lesson 2: Noises. Noises are a major embarrassment source. Even words like "t***", "winkle" and "vibraphone" can not rival the embarrassment potential of sound. Listen to this, if you can:

How do you rate your embarrassment response?

B) Hello!
C) Good evening!
Now lesson 3, in which these rude and dirty sounds are combined with s***ty visual suggestions into a embarrassment simulation situation. You are the waiter at this table:
Lady: Charles, I've got something to show you... (zipper, thud, thud)
Dr. Karl Gruber: Score 5 for no embarrassment, score 3 for slight embarrassment, and 1 for...
