Content Warnings: Proposed 3rd Option

December 18, 2009
By

As I’m sure you know, some blogs come with a content warning. Well how many damn times do I need to answer that stupid question? So I propose adding this third option so everyone knows exactly where I stand on content warnings when I’m in the comfort of my own home. Click to Enlargify:

ContentWarning2
There we have it. Now my computer knows I have no scruples when it comes to how I spend my time on the internet and can stop wasting my time.

    I’m not too sure about that comma. A dash or semi-colon would have worked better.

    You just lost the bonus points you earned when you said you liked my comment on Josh’s blog! Square one, my friend!

    Such a Grammar Nazi.

    I’m not sure how I feel about you now Craig, I didn’t think you were into bestiality.

    Wouldn’t it be more disturbing if Saddam Hussein was violating the corpse of a donkey? I mean, most people are pretty okay with seeing horrible things happen to murdering dictators, but what did the donkey ever do to anyone?

  5. jere on December 18, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    Donkey = mule, right?

  6. jere on December 18, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    And would we feel differently if it was a cat?

    Mel’s going to have you guys up on animal cruelty charges. Sheesh.

    Maybe some kind of smart system that when you fire up the computer it says “How old are you?” (And we all know teens never lie.) and if you say “I’m an adult, truly I am” then it would skip all those annoying warnings.

    What requires a warning anyway? Bad words? Naughty pictures? What if there’s no full frontal, does a bare butt count? I’m so confused.

    Agreed!

    jere: i think a mule is the offspring of a horse and a donkey. Meaning that Saddam can only mule punch, as opposed to donkey punching that thang.

    I’m so happy that WordPress doesn’t put such retarded warnings up.

  11. Michelle M. on December 18, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    Yes! Or maybe that warning could only pop up on Wednesdays (along with everything else that pops up on Wednesdays).

  12. Dave S. on December 19, 2009 at 10:29 am

    Things pop up on Wednesdays?! Sheesh, sounds like I need to experience more Wednesdays…

    And, yeah, this is an annoying little warning, but your suggestion makes it more bearable. ;) (hilarious!)

    I second Enrico’s grammatical suggestion.

    What do you I would watch said sexxxy time video?! I thought it was regular practice to look up such tingz! I’ve already seen it 429 timez!

  14. josh on December 19, 2009 at 10:03 pm

    *What do you mean would I watch sexxxy time video?!

  15. Ray on December 20, 2009 at 8:32 pm

    …but is that warning purple coincidentally or Polt related?…

  16. Justin on December 20, 2009 at 10:33 pm

    Are Josh and Enrico suggesting that “As I’m sure you know” should be followed by a dash or semi-colon? Cuz, well, the comma is not only correct, it’s the *only* correct option. Call me a kook.

    And digkv has not only far too many adjacent consecutive consonants, but is absolutely right. A mule is the offspring of a donkey and a horse and is sterile, like most such inter-species hybrids (I can’t remember whether Tigons are sterile or not; wolf hybrids are definitely not, but then dogs and wolves are pretty much the same species).

    In any event, I’m not sure why Jere’s idea of Saddam Hussein violate the corpse of a donkey would be any worse. Unless the donkey were actually alive at the time, I am not sure that our sense of disgust or outrage would be any higher.

  17. Enrico on December 20, 2009 at 11:17 pm

    Justin: Nope. After Saddam Husein. We’re not dummies!!

  18. Justin on December 20, 2009 at 11:24 pm

    Enrico: Willfully. Abusing punctuation. That I know. You know. How to use. Doesn’t convince me. That Craig’s comma. Was wrong.

    And you didn’t call me a kook. :-)

    I want to know the people who e-mailed Google. If you don’t like the site, don’t visit it!
