I just feel that the line needs to be clearly defined, and as hilarious as this is, it's pretty clearly part of a pornographic film. If we say that this one can stay, where do we draw the line on what's porn and what's not?


I think that you're right about it obviously being part of a porn video but what I think you're wrong about is the perspective you're viewing the video from. First of all we've had parts of pornos on the sift -- you guys remember the snake video? Allow me to refresh your memory: http://www.videosift.com/video/Best-porn-intro-ever While there is actually no nudity in the video it is part of a porn. I'm sure there's more porns on the sift just because of comedic value, but the point is that the intention of the video changes once it's submitted to the sift. This is much like the concept of found art -- just because a certain object had a certain purpose at one point in its life doesn't mean that it cant be changed.

The second more obvious point is this: -people keep bringing up the fact that this might set up a new standard for whats allowed on the sift.- Really? this isn't the supreme court and we're not passing new legislation. This is video sift and we're a fairly small tight nit community- if in the future a video comes along that follows relatively the same guides as this one but it deemed more offensive we'll fucking ban it, that simple. Just because we find this one acceptable doesn't mean we lose our ability in determining if future similar videos are.

For the record, I didn't vote for the video because I didn't find it funny, not because I found it offensive.
