You're right. I think if someone selects to block all NSFW content, that should include the NSFW t-shirts. I sometimes show my son some videos here, and I also don't want him to see those ads.

I don't know if there is an easy way for the admins to fix this problem, but they should at least try to fix it anyway. Otherwise the NSFW filter won't mean as much if the I AM A MOTHERFUCKER shirt is being displayed so frequently - and I do see it a lot. Not all the time, but quite often.

Maybe if Tee Virus actually sold some shirts that you don't have to be a douchebag to wear, this wouldn't be such a problem.

These kids are going to see and use the word motherfucker thousands of times in their lives, just get used to it. You people baffle me.

If you use the AdBlock addon, you can just go to "Add Filter..." and enter */teevirus/* and it will block all tshirt images.

I have Videosift bookmarked and show stuff to my kids all the time..., If my wife saw me on a site with such wording on it. The site will no longer be on the list! Mom's have that kind of Veto Power even if some dads are more relaxed on the rules...

As well, I don't want to block ads because it helps pay for our site (Dag's Site

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts...

Daddy, what's a motherfucker?
I am, son.... I am.

*quality

Agreed. Some of those are NSFW.

ant cannot award a quality point for this post because ant does not have enough Power Points - ignoring quality request by ant. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)

Thanks campioni, that worked great.>> ^campionidelmondo:

Ahh, brilliant, the continued campaign by gorillaman to expose children to EVERYTHING no matter their age... hardcore sex, hardcore language, bring it on according to him. You baffle the rest of us gorillaman, you really do.

I'm trying to help you. You ought to be grateful to have some insight knocking around in your shabby little consciousness for a change.

Judging by the way children behave around my way I'd say the campaign is done and dusted.

@gorillaman I get your point to a degree, but having kids and not being total council trash here, I have to say that I prefer it if they don't see and hear everything they'll be exposed to when they're older now, because they're only young for such a short time, and it's kinda nice to let them have their innocence for as long as possible.

Having said that, I do think it's ridiculous to hide your children from all reality and vastly important to teach them that life aint a bunch of rainbows. Ahh parenting, what a clusterfuck of contradictions it is

So... no solution? My kids are blocked from the sift. And they will continue to be until Sarah Palin is no longer a Fucking Retard.

So ... forever then.

I like turtles.

It's a word. It's even a written word. I don't see the harm.

Graphic content sure, sexual content sure, but words? We're not sfw'ing the comments either... fuck fuckety fuck-fuck-fuck. If you want your kids to use the internet unsupervised, be grateful we're as sfw as we are, and pray your kids don't go to encyclopediadramatica, rotten, b0g, 4chan or any of the other NSFW-fests.

You're not forcing them to learn it by having "I'm a motherfucker" on a t-shirt here - you can tell them, "that's a swear word, please don't use it in public or at all.. it's not nice" and that should be it.

It's also a really ugly shirt. And I for one don't want my kids to see that kind of horrible graphic design when they're so young and impressionable.

I was going to totally disagree with this, but then I realised that if you want children to browse through the sift, t-shirt ads would probably be your smallest concern. SFW means safe for work and in no way means a video is suitable for young children. Two examples of videos that are not marked as NSFW:

Uncle Chuck Had His Eye Removed
Oh the horror, the horror! Snakes and Fishies eaten alive!

Edit: Acutally nevermind this comment. I see the actual issue was showing someone a specific video without offensive ads showing up on the page.

@campionidelmondo
Indeed. There is basically nowhere on the internet that's "kids safe". The * kids channel was made for this, but comments are still not moderated. Many videos on the rest of the site would be horribly scarring for kids (I think of http://videosift.com/video/Bewbs-For-future-reference ) but that's the nature of the internet. Videosift is not intended as a place for kids. If it were, we would have to be far more moderated.

Kids can relatively safely use cute, catsanddogs, happy, kids and not expect too much stuff their parents are scared off, but they couldn't use animation, woohoo or a whole slew of other channels. But then, kids can't use youtube if you limit it like that either. They do have that "Moderate safesearch", but we're not that advanced.. yet.

It's not talking about allowing kids to browse the site freely or even in specific channels... It's the parent being the driver, and just wanting to show their kids a specific video... easy enough without them seeing the comments, but when there's a large graphic saying 'I'm a Motherfucker' right there around the video, it's much harder to hide.

Yes kids will eventually see/hear things, but they really are little kids for a f*cking short time, and anyone who is in a hurry for them to experience everything in the world as soon as possible, no matter how horrible or 'adult' is just ignoring how important a stable and protected early life is.

Sure, you start introducing things as they get older, and you don't shy away from things when they come up, but there's no need to shove this stuff in their face as soon as you can.

I've never been worried about my son knowing what swear words are. It's language and I wouldn't censor or shelter him from it. Even if he is my precious little snowflake.

It's the ads for Ann Coulter's new books that offend me and my children.

Wow! I'm loving all this advertisement for my t-shirt!

Heck, even bad advertising is advertising!

Man, I feel like such a whore!
