New commodore shot film +16

[Vlabguy1]

So what does NC17 mean genius?  Does it equal some guy molesting a woman's tits and showing a puss shot?  And a scene where moaning like she is riding the guy. I doubt it.  And please I give America a bad name..geez wow.. Um I think the US government does a good job of that..  Your giving me way too much credit.

Sure it means something to N. American readers.  It means someone outside the U.S. has posted a warning.  It means one should think of the nearest equivalent in our country (that would be NC-17) and assume it means that until one finds out differently if you are at work.

I know all about Europe being casual about nudity.. You don't have clue as to where I am from!

Yes the OP did write that..yet he/she could have continued with "nude content" VERY FREAKIN simple.



It is widely known in the United States that Amigas are more popular with Europeans.  Its also widely known in the United States that Europeans are more lax on age requirements to view nudity and sex acts.  An American would write 17+ or 18+ for such material (we'd write a higher age and put the plus symbol after the number, not before). Therefore "+16" is quite clear regardless.

The OP also wrote "be careful".  You are sadly an example of what gives us Americans a bad name abroad, you take no personal responsibility for your own actions.

Private companies can make and police their own policies regarding offensive content viewed in the workplace.  If someone is offended by anything it can be reported to
human resources and appropriate action taken..  This is why companies typically
write an employee handbook.

I've never heard of a suspension requirement in the U.S.:

Thank you!  Oh and I never once stated that I was offended by the video.. I liked in fact.  I just thing the OP should have gone a  bit more with the warning that is all..

The guy who originally posted the link knew good and well it was against TOS, especially after the mild flack it got over at amigaworld.net.

I hope dude is just trolling and didn't get fired, it would be a shame if he did. These aren't exactly the best of times for job hunting. Usually you can't collect unemployment benefits if you get fired.

[Vlabguy1]

mmm.. so you think I'm American?  An assumption on your part.

I assume your a proper uptight Brit!

I see reading comprehension of the English language isn't your strong point.

Just adds more weight to the stereotype of the dumb American.

[Vlabguy1]

Um not it would get an "R" rating ..shows how much you know.  And give me one example of an NC17 movie or "made for tv" movie that shows this type of content..
And I'm talking a major motion picture not some Euro documentary or artsy flic.

Why yes it would likely get that rating if it were submitted to MPAA.

True on the government, they might pay you unemployment benefits!  

[Vlabguy1]

Good thing I'm not crazy :-).

There was nothing stopping the OP from editing his post and typing in "nude content"..

@Vlabguy1

People are still waiting to hear why you keep a lawyer on retainer and why you can not understand the additional warning given of "be careful" beyond the European formated (+16) warning.  You insist those two warnings are not enough to avoid suing someone.  Does it not register with you at all at how crazy that sounds??

[Vlabguy1]

Perhaps some requirements should necessary in the future to be more clear on a given link posted.  Is there an age limit to join A.org?  If not then anyone at any age can join
and view content posted.  Cover your A.. and all is good.  Im sure no here wants to offend anyone.  There is no point, kind a like this discussion.  

I was not implying that he was required to do anything.. it just would have been nice.  I never once wrote or stated the OP owed me anything.  If I did please quote it.  

Dude "+16 be careful" DOES not mean sex scene, nude scene, boobs being massaged, full nude woman shot.  Please honestly when you clicked on did you expect an almost porn scene?  If you did then your the man.  I never once complained about the OP posting the link.  To me and a few others this so called warning was a bit lax when the OP could have just as easily typed "nude content".. When posting anything on the web the OP should take responsibility it by covering all bases.  A bit short sighted of him to assume this
+16 means the same all over da world.  

I never wanted the link to be deleted either.  This forum is great in that there is no time limit on editing posts.  The OP seeing the discussion about his "warning" could have simply added to his original post.  I know I would have.

There was nothing requiring he do it either.  He was required not to post such at all, but thats between him and the A.org mods as a TOS issue.

Between him and you first off he owes you nothing.  You were clicking links from people you don't know at work.  Moving on to the question of simple courtesy he was fine though, he had you covered with "+16....be careful".  The fault here lies with you either being too dense to get the obvious, OR you got the obvious but did not expect to get walked in on in the act and now you are trying to transfer blame from the rightful owner (you) to the OP.

[Vlabguy1]

Noted.. I always do that when I'm typing fast.. And come on really you're going to pick
on the grammar.  I have raped no one.  

Grrrrrrrr. Stop raping the English language. "Your" is a possessive. If you mean to write "You are" and want to use a contraction, then write "You're".

Why is there an apostrophe after "American"?

[Vlabguy1]

Nice!  Thank you for the warning.  It worked I actually looked behind me, turned the volume down.  

- WARNING - WARNING -

My boss didn't know what goatse was. So I educated him about it.

Anyhoo, if you don't know what goatse is you likely don't want to learn. If you really really want to learn please make sure you don't do it before your boss/wife/kids/parents or anyone who might have issues with nudity. You have been warned.

- WARNING - WARNING -

[Vlabguy1]

Thank you !!!  My point(s) exactly.  But actually I think some are saying the warning was specific enough.  I thought I was careful I turned da volume down and honestly did NOT
expect a very attractive nude woman on screen. I know this was a tribute to a classic Amiga.  I can honestly say(type) that I don't jack about the game.  Looks like a good
one though, ha.

Um ..really "be careful" means don't view at work all over the world=wrong. "Don't view at work" means don't view at work all over the world.  

Its safe to say it means its not safe for work.  What reason its not safe for work is unclear from what was written, but thats besides the point.



I expected it was not safe for work because there was a warning posted with the link.  No I did not divine that it contains "an almost porn scene".  Again, thats besides the point.



No one is saying it could not be more specific.  A nudity warning would be helpful for someone at home around their wife or children for instance.  But you said your gripe was that it led to you losing your job and that you wanted to get your lawyer involved.  The threshold for something not being safe for work is much much lower.  If someone you don't know is telling you to be careful with a link don't click it at work, thats darn straightforward.



"Be careful" means the same thing all over "da world" if you can read English.  It means don't view it at work, at least not in front of others.

[Vlabguy1]

Dang you ruined it!.. hehe.  This whole internet slang thing sux, lmao!!
Does it mean "now show friends and workmates"??

Thanks

I finally found a link to the video, there's even a warning directly below the video in large text:

"attention: NSFW scenes"

[Vlabguy1]

Hey.. I take offense to that( just kidding) So true but the difference with me is that I would not sue in order to get that warning on the cup.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with stating the obvious and covering all the bases.  America could be called the "Land of the lawsuit".  It is a sad fact.

People like you are the reason coffee cups now have to say "WARNING - CONTENTS MAY BE HOT" on them.  

[Vlabguy1]

Dave,

If your on Facebook.. just look up "Perspective" its on their wall.
I think its a pretty sweet video, even with out the nude scene.

Looks like I missed seeing this thread before the link was removed.

[Vlabguy1]

aww.. thanks for the MooBunny thing.  Ha no one here asked for G rated only posts/threads
You're just a wee bit late, but thats ok.  And really too active?  This thread has been banged to the top all day.

Not really a big deal to me.  Though I admit being lax about correct grammar but try to get
spelling correct.

Yup sorry, that was a typo.  If I saw someone else do that I'd notice the mistake, but I didn't proof read my own message.  I'd never let this pass if I'd proof read it! *embarassed*.  I hate it when my fingers get ahead of my brain.

[Vlabguy1]

agreed!!

If you want I can PM you the link? It's actually quite a clever film.
