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.

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.

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,

We had a discussion about this in this group back in March, and I wrote
about my attitude/solutions back then:
http://beginningwithi.com/tech/kidsonline.html

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.

thanks... and yeah I agree - censoring is prob the wrong way to go. be more innovative and yes, proactive, and prob have better success.if its easy to find the content geared for children, then the chances of them browsing the directory and seeing adult content is greatly reduced, generally speaking.

2005-12-02 Thread Michael Ridley



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.

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?

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.

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?

 Thinking that companies will push out feeds of the 30 second
commercials  
 you see on tv is a little silly. No company is that fucking stupid
(well,  
 there'll be two and then it'll backfire and there'll be none).
 
 I'll take three of the latest Danish corporate blogs as examples.
They're  
 not videoblogs, but the point is the same.
 
   - Arken is a Danish museum. Their blog is written by a handful of  
 employees and they write about what goes on at a museum and other  
 art-related matters. It's a company, but why shouldn't they be
listed in  
 an Art category? Their blog is at: URL:  
 http://arken.blogs.com/arken_blog/ 
 
   - The Danish Patent and Trademark Office opened a weblog URL:  
 http://www.dkpto.dk/weblog/  where 17 out of their 240 knowledge
workers  
 blog about matters related to intellectual property laws. Why
shouldn't  
 they be included in a Legal category alongside the private lawyer?
 
   - Arla, the most evil Danish corporation (they have something like
90% of  
 the milk production in Denmark), started three weblogs. One is
authored by  
 a farmer and his wife. They blog about life on the farm and how it
is to  
 be a part of that big a corporation (actually every farmer is a
co-owner).  
 Why shouldn't they be listed under Farm life on equal terms with the  
 indie farmer? URL: http://www.arla.dk/weblogs/baekgaarden 
 
 I keep seeing this latent assumption that if a company is behind a  
 (video)blog then they don't have anything worthwhile to say. It's
just not  
 true. Of course you have to let the company know when they fuck up (if  
 they start sending 30 commercial clips out and calling it a vlog), but  
 this idea that as a company they can't make vlogs is just annoying
to no  
 end.

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 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 TA 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.

 OK well now this is my pet peeve.  I want everyone to shut the fuck up about
 kids.  It is not the mission of the world to protect all children from
 anything that might be dangerous at any time in any place.  Now the whole
 subject of what is or isn't appropriate for kids to see is a huge can of
 worms that I am going to complete ignore because it's beside the point.
 
 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.
 
 If you are so concerned about what material of an objectionable nature your
 kids may see, then set limits and don't let them see those things.  Sort of
 like how you might not let them wander around the red light district of
 Amsterdam on their own at 4 AM.  Same concept.  The correct solution here is
 for parents to step up and make rules and set limits, not to have some
 arbitrarily large net of responsibility that ensares and inhibits the rights
 of all adults everywhere.
 
 I will not be subjugated by the delicate and impressionable nature of 4 year
 olds.  That's a non-starter for me.

Last year I was a projectionist at the Cinequest Film Festival in the University Theatre . A rucuous group of poeple came in, yelling, shouting, joking and having fun. Then they showed the film, "Missionary Positions" which I thought was well done and honest. I don't agree that porn is "bad" or "good".

2005-12-02 Thread petertheman
It's a good idea, but requires more coding than I can muster right
now.. Will probably implement this in January..

Peter

 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¢.

  of course some kids may be a little too curious too soon...

  that their are always exceptions.
  no solution will ever be perfect.

   You can then have categories/tags/sections of kid safe video
  content which could be many things and is up to the directory curators
  to 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 on
  the site geared for children education and entertainment etc, then
  this 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. 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

 I need to learn how to speak about my feelings of commercialization in
 the media.
 it never quite comes out right.
 nothing wrong with busness and profit and money...
 what is wrong is the amount of negative influence, explotation, and
 lack of respect for the community for which a company lives in.
 but as my punk upbringing has taught me: its not what they sell, its
 what we buy.
 
  Thinking that companies will push out feeds of the 30 second
commercials
  you see on tv is a little silly. No company is that fucking stupid
(well,
  there'll be two and then it'll backfire and there'll be none).
 
 i meant more the spam blogs. just like a majority of email is
 spam...my fear is that youll see feeds full of little commercials for
 whatever spam 'sells'.
 
 but as Sull mentioned, i can see tradtional companies sponsoring
 videoblogs that are entertaining or informattive.
 The Circuit City Tech Review where two cool, alternative hosts talk
 about the latest camcorders.
 
 snip
  I keep seeing this latent assumption that if a company is behind a
  (video)blog then they don't have anything worthwhile to say. It's
just not
  true. Of course you have to let the company know when they fuck up (if
  they start sending 30 commercial clips out and calling it a vlog), but
  this idea that as a company they can't make vlogs is just annoying
to no
  end.
 
 companies in the US have a very bad reputation for making content that
 is authentic or useful. usually they add their image/concept content
 to popular entertainment.
 I must look at their content in the subway car when i ride to work. I
 got to see their content on every phone booth. I hear it in the cab's
 radio between the news updates. i got to see it when i read the
 magazine and newspaper.  Their content is the TV.
 and what do i gain from their content?
 
 i cant think the last time a large US company made a piece of content
 that was worthwhile.
 when they do, ill be the first to subscribe.
 andreas, i hope there is a turning point here and companies will begin
 to create/sponsor material that is useful.

Something that is never mentioned in all this talk

it interesting. If they find it interesting, they are probably old enough 
to be viewing it.

That was what was really wacky about that JPEG with 
two kids barely old enough to walk and talk supposedly saying what their email

  Perhaps. I'd argue that that decision is up to their

  you could say that in 1992there wasn't much general awareness of the

  up..he just didn't feelthe need to make an issue of it, because he felt I 
  had the commonsense to make appropriate choices.But who knows, for 
  some other parents, sure maybe they want to filterthat out. But the

  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.   If you are so concerned about 
  what material of an objectionable nature your  
  kids may see, then set limits and don't let them see those 
  things. Sort of  like how you might not let 
  them wander around the red light district of  Amsterdam on 
  their own at 4 AM. Same concept. The correct 
  solution here is  for parents to step up and 
  make rules and set limits, not to have some  arbitrarily 
  large net of responsibility that ensares and inhibits the 
  rights  of all adults everywhere. 
I will not be subjugated by the delicate and

as an outsider, I read through all these responses. The back and

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

  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.   If you are so concerned about 
  what material of an objectionable nature your  
  kids may see, then set limits and don't let them see those 
  things. Sort of  like how you might not let 
  them wander around the red light district of  Amsterdam on 
  their own at 4 AM. Same concept. The correct 
  solution here is  for parents to step up and 
  make rules and set limits, not to have some  arbitrarily 
  large net of responsibility that ensares and inhibits the 
  rights  of all adults everywhere. 
I will not be subjugated by the delicate and 
  impressionable nature of 4 year  olds. 
  That's a non-starter for me.

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=allsortby=defaultpage=1rid=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---

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.
