From Fanlore

Detachable Penis is a The Professionals vid, which was a part of the Media Cannibals/Tape3. It was digitally remastered in 2006 by justacat. It is a perennially popular look at the series' phallic imagery and emphasis on guns and their connection to masculinity. Some people have interpreted the vidder motivation as being a critique against gun violence in series of the era; however, the vidders had no such intent, and actually enjoy that imagery immensely. VIDDER'S NOTE [From Alex's original liner notes for the Media Cannibals 3 vid tape]: "Sandy sent me the lyrics, and I thought she was crazed, so I deleted them. She sent them again, and I still thought she was crazed, but I began to ponder... once we hit on the penis=guns motif, the insanity turned into a challenge, and then a fun game, and before we knew it, we had the weirdest, wackiest, craziest vid, and hey, it worked! Boys will be boys, and the Lads love their weapons. And so do we."

Fanlore page also includes a ton of viewer reviews and reactions from the time of the remix and its original release!
