It's not. I'm providing a range of opinion, from a man (moi) to two other individuals (women).

Why is a woman's opinion on whether or not something is porn more important than a man's opinion?
Someone always says or alludes to this being the case in every one of these debates I've ever seen.

It's fine. I'm here with two women who have no problem with it at all.

I agree with your first point, but when you get into "artistic merit" is where you've gone over the cliff. We cannot, I repeat, cannot have aesthetic taste police and still think we possess the right to freedom of expression.

I find pretty much two definitions of pornography no matter where I look.

The explicit depiction of sexual subject matter, especially with the sole intention of sexually exciting the viewer.

>> ^ponceleon:

Actually, I'm going to throw this into the discuss pile because I just had a very interesting thought:
The last time we had this debate it was that video of the attractive woman in the car, smoking and fondling her own breasts. In the end I feel like we missed the point of both that video and this one.
I actually find this video both more artful AND more pornographic than the chick in car with tits video which brings me to the conclusion that "art" and "pornography" are NOT necessarily mutually exclusive.
This brings me to my next question: The sift rule on porn seem to imply that as long as it has some artistic or educational merit, it is okay. By that logic, I'm kind of the mind that this should be okay, but on the other hand it does seem to open up a potential barrel of porn monkeys if we say out loud that artful porn is a-ok...
... so what do people think? I'm kinda on the fence leaning towards saying yes, because frankly this video is just full of awesome.


You make an interesting point. As it stands in the US now, pornography is illegal because of obscenity laws. That is the reason for porn plot, because a video of nothing but sex could be brought up on obscenity charges. Porn is still made on the basis it is an "Art" movie that has sex in it. And as you point out, are and pron aren't mutually exclusive. However, you could just have an understanding that pron, without any artistic merit, isn't allowed. This creates a gray area and becomes very arbitrary, but might be one of the only solutions that doesn't involve over censoring, or opening the flood gates of pron trolling.

On that note, I thought the video was kind of neat, mainly because of the slow motion shock waves rippling across the buttock. Hard to show that without some kind of nudity. I know there exists a sexual fetish based around spankings, but this didn't seem to fit in that category of video.

I'm here and I'm ok with it.

It's black and white so that makes it art right?

Can't do animated gifs for channel avatars, since they're not allowed and the backend converts all types to jpeg anyway.

Or I'm pretty sure it does, like it does with member avatars.

For sidebar content, I suggest you search youtube or vimeo for awesome slowmotion fire. Maybe a picture of that monk that put himself on fire in the vietnam war.

Oooh, and Tobias Fünke auditioning for that one part: "OMG, IT'S A FIRE... sale"

For the icon I suggest something simple and telling, like

If you want CSS stuff done, let me know, I'll help ya out. I never did it for talks, since I wanted to keep it nice and neat.

haha omg, the slowmotion look the sloth makes which is like the dramatic...prarie dog? or whatever it was while its taking a shit is hilarous.

I think it should remain a tag.
And that Videosift needs a tagcloud, that can be RSS'd,
so you need only go to a page like www.videosift.com/?="slowmotion, slow-mo, time-lapse, timelapse, slow" and see all associated videos in order of newness.
