Uh, hello, I'm the person who posted Kung Fu Porn
Jeez, I'm sorry I missed this. 72 posts! I'm really sorry if this video offended anyone--especially the women of Videosift. I want to make sure that all of you understand the spirit with which I posted. I found this video to be a hilarious spoof of porn. I think the names, the sounds, and the camera angles back that view up, and some of you pointed that out. Even if it came from a bona fide sex flick . . . my god, was it bad and funny. In addition, one of the hallmarks of porn to me is a general lack of a sense of humor--this one, I think, is a mockery of porn. It's absurd.
That said, I felt sure some might have problems with it, but I wasn't sure how to farm it out to Issy or Persephone to see if it wouldn't offend. Ultimately, I guess I just decided to post and let the system work. And I think it did. I am curious how many votes it ended up with though. But I enjoyed most of the comments.
One of the things I most like about the sift is that women feel, for the most part, comfortable here, and that's something very wrong with many sites, I feel. There's this unwritten code that men on the web can behave and comment like macho idiots as they sit behind big screens in the small rooms of their mothers' houses. This absence of women's views, and videos of interest bothers me, and it's something that videosift has been very good about. Inclusion and communication.
So, I really feel the need to apologize to anyone who was offended, or reacted negatively to this video. I hope you'll understand the spirit in which it was offered as I accept the fate it was dealt.
Thanks again for everyone here making this a daily destination to see interesting, enlightening, and funny (really really funny) videos. I'm happy to be a member.

JAPRHey, no need to apologize, buddy. I know I was one of the more vocal ones for getting rid of it, but I wasn't offended by it. Like I said, I thought it was hilarious, but I just feel like we need to make sure to keep clear distinctions and maintain the rules.
Also, as a fellow man who sees the same thing wrong with a lot of sites on the internet, I see a lot of *quality in your explanation and apology.
siftbotAwarding sbchapm with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by JAPR.
maatcStuff like this makes me wish there was a comment upvote option for the original post because one * quality is just not enough sometimes...
dystopianfuturetodayI was totally gonna submit a clip from 'Edward Penishands' until you went and ruined it for everybody. Thanks a lot!
ravenKung fu porn??? Damn... I vow to try and focus on school and of course I miss something like this!
gwiz665Where is this kung fu porn, you speak of..? Cause now I HAVE to see it
SarzyThe video and subsequent witch hunt, errr.. discussion... can be found here:

oxdottirI didn't see the vid the first time through. I'm glad it isn't on VS, but I would certainly hold no malice for the poster. I'm just glad the system doesn't take porn.
Maybe I watch more porn than some of you, but this is certainly not the only instance of funny or ridiculous or even non-arousing porn. This is porn. It's just funny porn. And I'm glad it isn't here. When I want pr0n, I go elsewhere.
raven^agreed, while I am highly intrigued with any genre mixing experiment involving kung-fu I also think that teh pr0n should not be on teh Siftz
sbchapmI think I'm with you all. Ya won me over. Ahhhhh democracy.
smibboI hope I didn't give the impression I was offended by it; I wasn't. Like Oxdottir I've seen PLENTY of porn (once had a job researching web porn so I am not joking here) and I've seen plenty "funy" porn too. It's still porn. I just feel if we have a rule, we need ot abide by it. I really appreciate your being so decent about (haha) it all.
thehelixOMG!! I haven't seen this for almost ten years. LOLOLOL I am so glad you posted this, I've been looking for it forever. I need to hang onto this one.
IssykittyI was not at all offended or upset. It just maybe doesn't belong here, and that is my humble opinion for what it's worth. Thanks for your openness and considerate tone.
dystopianfuturetodayKung Fu porn really doesn't do it for me. Does anyone know where I might find some Ti Kwan Do porn?
