Hello Again
I have nothing say about anything, and that's why I haven't posted in awhile. My niece is being born today. Man, I wonder what it must be like to be born during the Bolton nomination.

I would prefer if you put warnings on questionable links like NSFW or something. You and I may understand why a japanese man would like to have his nuts kicked in...but my coworkers are not likely to.

Dear Mr. Cockmuncher:
The absence of a qualifier for the above link is not a consequence of inattention to your concerns. When providing links, I always consider whether a qualifier is warranted. Such a judgment is, by definition, subjective. I simply don't feel that the above link is "questionable". (Of course, there are some people Mississippi who would disagree). Arlo may step in, as he has in the past, and use his godlike powers to censor me (which is his prerogative), but I have no intention of being a Quisling to my conscience in this matter.
The Japanese man getting throttled in the nuts is really just a metaphor for man's unquenchable desire to be kicked in the nuts by women. OK, that's not really metaphorical. Then again, the video isn't really questionable. What's the question?
Is it objectionable because it is indicative of marginal sexual behavior or because it peels away the thin veil of social convention which shields us from the fact that this is happening all the time, figuratively if not physically. Give a woman a chance, she'll kick you in the jewels.
I was hanging out with my mom, Pope Benedict, a mute five-year-old from the Make a Wish Foundation when I just happened to play a video from one of Kelly's posts which usually are abnormally tasteful (read: Der Shlangenman) and was shocked (SHOCKED I say!) that it was a japanese guy getting kicked in the nuts!
How could there have been no warning? When I'm surfing the Internet and looking at videos in a completely inappropriate situation I need a warning about their content for Fuck's Sake!!!!!
I had to slap Benedict's dick right out of that little kid's mouth just to keep my mom from seeing what was on the screen. Too close. Next time I'll need a warning.
Mr. Pooper: It is not unreasonable to ask you to put a warning label on your links. Fark does a very nice job of it. If you wish to be a horses ass about the matter, you are certainly free to do so. I for one think there is no reason why you can't be thoughtful and just put a friggin NSFW on it. It's not asking much and its certainly putting no duress on you. Why you wish to remain a fucking asshole is beyond me.

Note to Eric:
balls.
Questionable links? Was there was something offensive here?
If you really want to be offfended, you need to partake of the media more often.
Dr. Smith;
The link in question shows a man in his underwear kicked in the nuts. NSFW = Not Safe For Work. I don't think the link in question is appropriate outside the home. That's all I'm asking. It's not about being offended, its about being courteous to your readership and warning them when something might night be appropriate to view at work. In no uncertain terms, this link is not suitable at work.
Yup. It's your blog and you can do as you please. Be an asshole, I don't care. I won't be back since you don't seem to want to honestly consider other peoples thoughts/opinions and the merits involved. You would rather spew big words and intellectual masturbatory phrases in a pathetic attempt to make yourself feel good about yourself. What a hateful existence you must lead.
-cockmuncher over and bye bye
Quite so. In fact, every attempt I've ever made to feel good about myself has been pathetic. (Fortunately, some of these attempts have actually worked). Mr. Cockmuncher is also correct in his supposition that my existence is hateful. However, I prefer not to discuss that aspect of my reality in public – it tends to be dispiriting and irrelevant.

Where do you work that it is appropriate to watch Internet video regardless of its nature? Any job I've ever had actually expected me to work (which, of course, I didn't really do) but watching videos on the Internet, be they of puppies piddling or Japanese guys getting kicked in the Japs-eye, was strictly verboten. Unless otherwise posted please consider all future videos to be NSFW.
Not that I have the power to speak for anyone officially. The preceding comments were NSFHUYAYSCB

Specious argument. Go here:

2 things:
First, this anonymous seems to be another in a long line of asshole anonymous posters. Hey, FUCK YOU Anonymous. You're stupid and you're wasting everyone's time. I don't know how you found this site but to assume anything on this site is safe to view when anyone, whose respect you either hope to keep, is looking over your shoulder is dumb, or even stupid, naive, and other words for dumb. What did you think you were going to see? I was hoping to see a Japanese guy getting kicked in the nuts and, voila, that's what I saw. Why did I hope to see this? Watch the video. I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
This brings me to my second thing. The more I watch that video, the more I like it. Is it the "speed bag" work towards the beginning? The giggle after the roundhouse punch? The "how you like me now?" strut off the screen by the woman? Or is it the last, delayed moan of the man? Maybe it's the sum of the parts. It's so great. More NSFW videos, please.

You're stupid and you're wasting everyone's time.
Ah, I see. Gracious of you. Look at my first post - I said I would prefer. I stated am opinion that did not shake a finger or name call. Kelly comes back snide and sideways. He quibbles about things being subjective (which is bullshit and indicative of his masturbatory prose posing as thoughtful response). This site doesn't want to warn the viewer about encountering material that may not be appropriate in all places. Why? Why not have the decency to just say - I think this is really funny but it is not fit for all viewers. Why is that so bad or hard or wrong? Why is that so hard to admit? The blog is here to be read, right? By everyone. Not just your friends. So why not take an adult stance and just say - yeah, this is not appropriate for all viewers. Why is that so fucking hard?

Anonymous,
At what point did you realize that the video in question was inappropriate for work?
Basically, I don't look at this site when my kids are around. I assume that there is always a chance that material will be adult or mature or whatever in nature.
It's one thing if the video was a link off a Disney site but it doesn't take long reading this site to realize that you may see some pretty disturbing stuff that might make you shoot milk out of your nose.
You want a real challenge, I have to figure out whether or not to take my 7-year-old son to the new "Star Wars" movie. Now that's a filtering challenge. Figuring out if a link from LYRC might not be suitable for work is easy. Just assume it's not.
If you'd like, I could print up some stickers for you to put on your knives at home that say "Caution: Edges may cause lacerations. Use with care."
The video is a sort of training manual for those who worry about ruining their shine. Instruction some may require more than others.
