Those folks definitely needed to be moderated in red. :shock:
I see in the linked video they didn't even slow down for the guy in the yellow vest. :eek:
Granted, he did seem a bit undecided as to the proper course of action. :lol:

Y'know, now that you mention it, that sounds like a place I'd like to visit myself someday. :D

I certainly hope so... I can't find it all! Besides, it's Canada... they were probably just just trying to get warm.

[Your supposed to be a moderator and you post something like that? You do know there are ladies here as well as other forum members that just don't need to see that stuff. I have a feeling you search for stuff like that.

Sorry, I did not, the title was enough. I'm 62 years old, don't need to see that.

Responding pretty much guarantees this thread will get locked or deleted, but I have a few comments to make anyway.

All I posted was the headline and a link to a news story. I chose to do so because it was an unusual story and took place in Toronto where there are some LTG members with a sense of humor. If the headline itself was offensive then I accept sole and complete responsibility for my error in judgement and apologize. However, if anyone clicked on the link, read the article and then followed any of the links to video then they must understand and accept that they are responsible for the action that brought them to offensive material, not me. Personally I did not view the videos because the article pretty much told me what I could expect to see and I elected not to click the video links.

As to how I found it, it was on the main page at Yahoo.com when I went to check my email there. I'll ignore the slur suggesting that I seek out certain types of material, but will plead guilty to being curious as to why people were engaging in such acts in public (alcohol or drugs seem to be involved).

What is, and is not, offensive, is a matter of community standards and if I had any idea that this would violate those standards I would not have posted the link to the article. I certainly intend to revise my understanding of the standards as a result.

Waiter. Waiter. An order of crow, with a side of humble pie, please. There's at least a 20% tip in it for you.

I haven't opened the link, but I must say I do have fond memories of Toronto.

And that's all I'm saying...

Well how the heck do you think I found out about that guy in the yellow vest? It's all your fault! :lol:
(Thanks, by the way, I needed a laugh :wink: )

Not sayin' this neccessarily applies to you (I thought your comment was meant in jest), but have you ever noticed that those who would protect us from offensive material are often quite diligent in seeking it out? :?
