Get a room, you two. No one wants to watch an emotionally shallow chick and a indignant film nerd monkey fuck in the comments.

And what carnage, in that video? What gore? What bloodied bodies?

I just don't get it. I don't want to continue this, anymore. You're just pissing me off with your retarded logic.

I don't have a hard on on for discarding videos, I have a hard on for this site and making sure that videos that aren't supposed to be on here stay away. I'm gay for the sift, if you will. The video I discarded was clearly against the guidelines (which are in place for a reason -- perhaps the video I discarded wasn't so bad, as far as these things go, but it would have been easy to use that as justification for much worse crap that none of us would want to see on here. Well, most of us). If you find those guidelines so distasteful, perhaps this isn't the place for you.

As for the puppy killing video, that is pretty terrible, but it is presented in context as part of a news report. It's not just death for the ghoulish pleasure of watching something horrible happen. That video actually has something to say, and as such has created a very interesting discussion. It couldn't be more different from the other video, which had absolutely no purpose other than to give people a hard on from watching carnage.

You certainly do have a hard on for discarding videos.

Why don't you campaign for this to be removed? You actually see something being killed as opposed to the inference of death.

I'm really interested in how you like to use that word, constructive.

There are two typical reactions to videos depicting people getting seriously injured: One is to laugh and take pleasure from the suffering of others. The other reaction is to feel very uncomfortable, even physically uncomfortable upon witnessing their suffering.

Now, on websites such as Liveleak there are hundreds of people who actually enjoy watching videos that depict, for example, half a dozen people being shattered and smeared across the highway in a high-speed collision. The commentaries which follow the video will express a sort of frenzied glee at having been witness to such ghoulish tragedy. I would argue that for these viewers something has died inside.

>> ^MINK:
if it was a joke, it could, in some contexts, be funny. but it wasn't a joke, it was just a retarded thoughtless comment.
isn't there something wrong about diverting the outcry against her by making a retarded thoughtless comment? doesn't that kinda demean your opposition?
and we are back to my first comment... moral high ground lost... opposition to this woman weakened... now you try to tell me i am the one who should hold my tongue...


Now ladies and gentlemen, this is why Fox, and the people who watch it adoringly are so dangerous.

MINK, while I agree you have a point about the die in a fire comment being bad (and I have upvoted your comments saying so), you're now taking your victory too far into saying that Liz here is just a poor victim of a liberal outcry.

You played it well, but you're using the real tactic I hate Fox for. Change the subject and divide the opposition by saying that criticism of bad action is just as bad as the bad act itself. Usually they say the criticism is actually worse because of the sheer un-American-ness of objecting to things (unless it's gay marriage, that's too much to tolerate).

They're both wrong, but blankfist isn't paid to diseminate information to millions of people, she is. She caught herself before she said it, thought about it, and said it anyway, with the added side-splitter of a joke where she both equates the presumptive nominee of the opposing political party to the head of a terrorist organization and talks about how tickled she'd be if both were killed.

Plus, while it's kind've ghoulish, "die in a fire" is an expression, roughly translated to "fuck you", while "knock off" is an expression roughly translated to "assassinate".

One's in bad taste, the other is borders on being a death threat.

Liz Trotta doesn't deserve to be defended, but therealblankman most certainly does.

Zifnab is King Zombiefest. Raven, Queen of all Ghoulish. Thanks for the fun!

Agreed djsunkid, I almost find my interest in them somewhat ghoulish at times!
Anyway give it a few years and this sort of thing will be considered normal in order to keep those planes moving.
