It was published by Jennifer.  However, she 
uses footage from a Josh Leo video with him sucking on a flask as the audio is 
talking about someone becoming hopelessly "addicted" to alcohol.
 
It was a remix/collaboration vlog.  When you 
watch 50 a day, you can't keep all the details straight in your head.  No 
slight meant to Jennifer or anyone else.
 
I think the Yahoo vlog search included one 
(possibly only one) of your videos.

Thanks Enric. I think Josh Leo had a vlog 
entitled "Don't Let This Happen to You" a couple days ago which used old 
films against the consumption of alcohol to great effect.

I watched the movie on Blip TV two days ago.  
I even left feedback telling the guy that if he really thought God had spoken to 
him about porn, he probably needed psychiatric help.
 
There was another similar vlog on with a misleading 
title that featured an ex-striper who was out evangelizing working girls and 
trying to get them to come to church.

  Randolfe, why are you so intolerant?  You have not 
  seen the movie yet you judge it is sour puss evangelism VH-1 watched 
  the movie and they thought it was funny enough to order a pilot for a 
  reality series.  check out the movie site http://www.missionarypositionsmovie.com 
  and tell me what is sour puss about it? Here is the 
  rottentomatoes review (which uses the word "hilarious.") http://www.rottentomatoes.com/click/movie-10005116/reviews.php?critic=all&sortby=default&page=1&rid=1371399I 
  think you are mixing up the non-christian filmmaker with christians who appear 
  in the film. The Jpeg of the kids reading porn spam does make a 
  point. I just think your fear of getting christians cooties is clouding 
  your judgement.  Bill Dayhttp://mebillday.blogspot.com---

2005-12-02 Thread Miss Amy



as an outsider,  I read through all these responses. The back and
forth is hilarious! Ah- controversy is such the life spice.

I agree with whomever said- who the fuck cares if ANYONE sees someone's
pee-pee. That's the least of the disturbing things that exist on the
internet and the outside world for which it is a mirror.  I'd be
more upset if my kid saw someone get shot on the TV. Death is worse
than sex. Censorship is worse than sex. Pee-pees good--- killing,
manipulating, discriminating bad.

In the podcast from the Blogher session "Blogging for Business",
Christine Halvorson of Stonyfield Yogurt talks about how the president
of the company insisted on creating a company blog even though the
marketing department was in the beginning opposed to it:

2005-12-02 Thread Bill Day
Randolfe, why are you so intolerant?  You have not seen the movie yet you judge 
it is sour 
puss evangelism VH-1 watched the movie and they thought it was funny enough 
to 
order a pilot for a reality series.  

check out the movie site 

http://www.missionarypositionsmovie.com 

and tell me what is sour puss about it? 

Here is the rottentomatoes review (which uses the word "hilarious.") 

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/click/movie-10005116/reviews.php?
critic=all&sortby=default&page=1&rid=1371399

I think you are mixing up the non-christian filmmaker with christians who 
appear in the 
film. 

The Jpeg of the kids reading porn spam does make a point. I just think your 
fear of getting 
christians cooties is clouding your judgement.

[videoblogging] Re: Porn Shmorn. Grow up! There's real life going on.

2005-12-02 Thread Eric Rice
I agree.

All I can do in this world is protect my own kids. I make the rules. So when I 
populate 
FireANT, I'm putting in the things like the kidsafe feed (which could be 
abused--but that's 
what parenting entails)

I also have a client that has T&A in their video podcast. Mine is not to 
question why--- 
there's some content and there's an audience for that content.

One of the challenges I face is not being able to necessarily list that content 
in all places. 
And in theory, I can't even use OurMedia, since it could be argued that I am 
commercial (I 
constantly bring up the question: where does indie end and commercial begin? )

At any rate, I know it's difficult to always control everything a kid sees.. 
after all, I'm only 5 
years into the game. But there are a whole bunch of peripheral issues with 
that. Is the 
content wrong or right? I'm in California, where probably a lot more of my 
neighbors see 
no issue with the famous "postcards from buster" episode that could be 
viewed 
completely the opposite by some similar parent of age and demographic in 
another part of 
the country and/or world.

On the other hand, I do like reasonable ratings, either boolean or a sliding 
scale 1 for G, 2 
for PG (great for art/criminal/education issues of adult nature---) 3 for 
mature... it's not 
to try and label it but also to help clarify what it is... we do this with NSFW 
tags. And 
besides, does NSFW make a great marketing vehicle? ;-)

Just my thoughts.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Porn Shmorn. Grow up! There's real life going on.

2005-12-02 Thread Brad Webb
For me it's the thin edge of the wedge, and I think folks are focusing 
more on "oh no! it's porn!" -- where's the line drawn? How long until 
there's spvlogs, etc. Having a system in place to filter down -- not out 
-- things that negatively impact the community and tools aren't a bad 
thing, imho.

2005-12-02 Thread Joshua Paul


Not that this thread hasn't run it's course, but I do like one suggestion that was made, and I sincerely hope that Peter takes it into serious consideration. The suggestion was to "safe filter" by default, much the way Google does for image searches. Considering how "public" (both figuratively and financially) Google is, I feel they devised a very good solution; the filter is easy enough to disable should you desire to.My 2¢.- joshpaulOn Dec 2, 2005, at 9:17 AM, Michael Sullivan wrote: the kid can also google porn and BOOYA!!of course some kids may be a little too curious too soon...but we should discuss the issue broadly and generalize, knowing that their are always exceptions.no solution will ever be perfect.  On 12/2/05, Enric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Pete Prodoehl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:>> Jay dedman wrote:> >>   Maybe the opposite approach would be logical? > >>Instead of filtering the "not for kids" stuff, filter the "kidfriendly" stuff.> >>And include a warning on site stating that "there may be adultcontent within, but check out our kid-friendly zone here" > >>You can then have categories/tags/sections of kid safe videocontent which could be many things and is up to the directory curatorsto decide how best to approach that.> >>My point is, IF the concern for children resides in the sites owner and IF they care to put effort towards designating a section onthe site geared for children education and entertainment etc, thenthis could take care of most of the aforementioned issues maybe ;-) > >> >> > great idea. very proactive.> > eric rice and ryanne made a kidsafe feed a while back for eric's kids.> >  http://video.ericrice.com/videoblogs/ANTresearch.mov> > but i think the feed died out.> > see this is a great idea: a kidsafe directory.> > itll come as content grows.> >> > im not interested in censoring, but in organizing and educating. > > everything will exist. we can simply chose where.>> Well, we already have yahooligans.yahoo.com, what about>  kids.mefeedia.com? :)>> It would be cool to be able to point kids to a videoblogging directory> and let them explore what's there.

Definately, it's usually a mistake to wait until a perfect solution is
constructed; you miss on things like HTML, RSS, OPML, etc.  I think
it's also an error to see sex as a all or nothing proposition:  either
it's completely available and al is allowed or completely restricted
and walled in.  Human being do have the capability to make rational,
objective decisions and policy on material that denigrates a group of
people whether by race, sex, ethnicity, etc.

[videoblogging] Re: Porn Shmorn. Grow up! There's real life going on.

2005-12-02 Thread Enric
Is there a correlation between a child going to a peep show and
turning into a thief later?  Don't laws already prohibit adult
establishments from allowing minors in?  Aren't they already zoned in
cities?  Should those laws be eliminated because they restrict the
choices and/or availablity of adults?

Of course it will.  In the same way that the kids section of Blockbuster interests parents.  There seems to be this view in our culture lately that kids are like little grownups and they just go and do whatever they want and so society has to protect them.  That perspective is...not even wrong..it's just non-sensical.  Parents make the rules.  Parents enforce the limits.
If there is a kids section of a web site, then presumably that's what the parents would sit down and look at with their children.  Just like parents will steer their children to the kids section of the video store.  It's not like parents just let their young children loose out in the world and let them wander around XXX movie theatres all day long.  Perhaps some parents DO do that, but that's not my problem - that's their problem for being bad parents.  And I'm pretty sure that if you have a 4 year old wandering around the red light district trying to get into peep shows, having a law requiring the establishment to card them and not let them in is probably not going to put that kid back on the "right path" and keep them from car jacking me in 10 years.  They're probably well on that path already due to very poor parenting.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Porn Shmorn. Grow up! There's real life going on.

2005-12-02 Thread Michael Ridley
Perhaps. I'd argue that that decision is up to their parents.  I first
got online in 1992 or so, and I guess I would have been about 12 or 13
at the time.  My parents didn't choose to be involved in what I was or
was not looking at, content-wise.  Granted you could say that in 1992
there wasn't much general awareness of the "dangers" of being online,
but my dad was savvy enough to know what was up..he just didn't feel
the need to make an issue of it, because he felt I had the common
sense to make appropriate choices.

But who knows, for some other parents, sure maybe they want to filter
that out.  But the point is, the onus is on the consumer (parent) not
on the content provider.  As the saying goes, if you don't like it,
don't watch it.

Well, we already have yahooligans.yahoo.com, what about 
kids.mefeedia.com? :)

It would be cool to be able to point kids to a videoblogging directory 
and let them explore what's there. Sometimes the most creative stuff 
comes from kids and the way they look at the world. You know, before the 
reality of it all crushes their spirit and makes them just another cog 
in the corporate machine that is today's society.

great idea. very proactive.
eric rice and ryanne made a kidsafe feed a while back for eric's kids.
http://video.ericrice.com/videoblogs/ANTresearch.mov
but i think the feed died out.
see this is a great idea: a kidsafe directory.
itll come as content grows.

im not interested in censoring, but in organizing and educating.
everything will exist. we can simply chose where.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Porn Shmorn. Grow up! There's real life going on.

2005-12-02 Thread Michael Ridley



Well I certainly agree that people should be allowed to put whatever content they so choose on their web site, filtered or not.  My issue is with this spreading conventional wisdom that seems to state that we all have some inherent, deep, and fundamental responsiblity to sanitize what we can and firewall what we can't in abject terror of the remote possibility that some small child might stumble upon it.
Certainly if some private directory or archive chooses not to include pornographic material (or any other kind) that is their perogative.  But this sense that if one chooses not to do so they are in some way morally inferior is itself repugnant to me.
And again the question of whether or not it's wise to conduct said parental filtering of the world for children is a whole other topic of discussion.  And a can of worms probably best unopened.  While I would agree that showing a 4-year-old Full Metal Jacket is on the gratuitous side, I think you equally do a disservice to one's (older) children by trying to shield them too much.  After all, this world is a horrible, mean, petty, shallow, and opportunistic place that will chew you up, shred you, and spit you back out again for round two if you let down your guard.  It's all well and good that we try to create a haven in our home that's as sheltered from that cruel reality as we can.  But raising a kid in a cocoon and then thrusting them out, helpless and unprepared, to be bled dry by the world once they graduate from school doesn't seem like such a wise choice.

I agree with you on that. I have never tried to "protect" my daughter,
beyond giving her what words of wisdom I could from a very early age.
We had a discussion about this in this group back in March, and I wrote
about my attitude/solutions back then:


However, there are those who do feel responsible for what is seen on
their site (not least because they could face legal liabilities),
that's their choice as much as it's yours to do nothing to filter.

The point is - it is not my responsibility to filter my site
(or my life in general) in the event that some child might happen upon
it.  There's this concept called parental responsibility. 
It's a doctrine which puts forth the concept that if you are going to
have children, then that's an active exercise which requires full
participation for approximately 16 to 18 years.

2005-12-02 Thread Bill Day

yes it is part of life... but much of this discussion is related to kids 
encountering this stuff. 
I like to use this illustration in that regard. 

http://www.missionarypositionsmovie.com/kiddyspam.jpg

People find it irresponsible to create a picture like this, but then support 
"who the &@[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
cares if we see a dick" type of attitude. 

Ironic.
