Did They *Just* Find An Accidental Nude Shot Of Mr. Spock From Star Trek?

thumbnail icon: Did They *Just* Find An Accidental Nude Shot Of Mr. Spock From Star Trek?

Okay, in order to share this, I'm going to have to admit that I clicked on a video on an anon-user-submitted video site that was labeled simply "Spock's Taint." Now that that's out there, um, someone on YouTube has, by slow-motioning a clip from an episode of Star Trek called "Plato's Stepchildren," found what appears to be an accidental upskirt shot of Leonard Nimoy as Spock accidentally flashing his behind-the-ball area. And it was just posted this weekend, and like nobody has seen it? Doesn't anybody care about Mr. Spock's taint? NSFW, I guess!:

Because I don't know Star Trek lore, I tried to research this to see if it was already a "thing," but it's impossible to research Star Trek on the internet. There's just too much fan fiction. At the very least it's not a very well-known thing, as a search for Spock and nudity turns up many many stories about Leonard Nimoy's paintings of the female nude, but nothing about this. So you (might have) seen Spock's Taint here first, guys, or you might have seen an elaborate ruse by someone with too much time on their hands, which is entirely in the realm of possibility though, if so, I admire his subtlety. Either way, I never thought I'd say this, but I hope you enjoyed Mr. Spock's taint. (Via Poe TV.)

It's hard to research Star Trek on the internet?? You've obviously never heard of memory alpha.

I think he's got tights on.

I also think "spockballs" is a great username.

It's NOT fake. I know because *I'm* the person who made it and posted it on YouTube (for all you other people to steal for your own sites.) ;-p

It really is just a clip from the classic episode that I slowed down over and over. The flash only lasts less than a second on regular speed and very near the bottom of the screen, so that's probably why no one has ever noticed it and made a "thing" out of it before. I certainly couldn't have faked it because I'm not that good at video editing, so I'll take that as a compliment!

And before anyone accuses me of having a dirty mind, why are YOU on this page to start with?! ;-p
