FunkyTown is a 2 minutes and 50 seconds long video of an unknown man being savagely tortured, while techno-style music and the song "Sweet Child O' Mine" by [[wikipedia:Guns n' Roses|Guns n' Roses]] is heard playing. The man is seen lying on the ground with his arms and legs tied up with what appears to be an extension cord. This man has his hands chopped off, his face skinned and cut off, and his eyes gouged out while he lies in a pool of blood and screams and gurgles in pain. The man was also drugged beforehand to keep him alive longer while the murderers torture him.

In the video, some cartel members decapitate a man and play soccer with his head in a familiar-looking, white-tiled, mostly empty room. It's possible that the people behind FunkyTown are also behind this video.
