Darkhandsays...Someone needs to overlay this with horrible indy car/nascar accidents and sounds. QUICK!!
Zawashsays...If norwegian sifters were as delicate and sensitive as the english ones, this would have been flagged nsfw for a lot of swear words from the camera crew.
Lannsays...It's more to do with the places of employment rather than the individual standards.

zorsays...This is a combo if bad icy conditions and the funny hinged bindings that cross country skis have so you can't really turn like with regular ski boots.
SlipperyPetesays...*yard sale
Babymechsays...Norwegians don't get to boss around the proud Swedish vasa-failers and their proud tradition of fail.
Zawashsays...Nah - was thinking more about countries and cultures - in Norway (and Denmark, for that matter), the local f-words are much more common and "acceptable" than the english ones in the english culture. One single "f-bomb" is enough for several to mark a video as NSFW - in Scandinavia the corresponding swear words wouldn't make anyone bat an eyelid..

messengersays...*actionpack
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Actionpack) - requested by messenger.
Kruposays...First off, *quality video!
As for the quoted matter, yeah, it's a standard that I took a part in imposing in the early days of the sift - so I'll speak to it, as the cross-cultural analysis is interesting, but a non-starter.
You simply can't go by the "coolest non-chalant culture/workplace" standard. If you work in a place like that, you'll watch videosift all day and no one cares because it's one of 14 windows you have on your 3 monitors.
Others either are in a) in a more uptight workplace where they can at least sift or b) have to think of the children - won't someone PLEASE think of the children?
You may be cool with dropping English or Danish f-bombs around your kids, but not everyone is, hence the liberal (or, if you will, conservative) use of nsfw tag.
If you're not fussed by anything, then you'll ignore the nsfw tag even if it's on. Or does that little scarlet stub stir something deeply disconcerting in your conscience?

siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Krupo.
grintersays...several hundred people, and not one functional pair of skis between them.
StukaFoxsays...Where's the Benny Hill music?!
mxxconsays...Would you say it's an avalanche of men?
