Bob bump!     36 views to.... ?

That video above loses a bit of its impact.  There's a pair of events toward the beginning that will distract a portion of the audience it's probably supposed to be targeting.   

[Bob]

"No need to thank me for saving this thread from the abyss of unread threads, lil'Lady.  It's my job.  Soon the post count will at least double.  My work here is done." 





 

Bob's contribution...



+




*Bob wonders how to control the size of images.*

[Bob]

Would any other gentlemen like to step in an raise the view count?

[Bob]

Good work men.  Mission accomplished.   

[Bob]

Even better work.  Tripled the thread views.  Very nice.



Just throwing the idea out there.  From the first video... The two joggers.  Appeared healthy -- They're jogging.  They seemed a bit unrestricted.  In the US, women jog in a more restricted way, if they jog at all.  And a lot are less healthy.  Therefore, the only logical conclusion.... Unrestricted jogging is probably the safest, healthiest way to go.  It couldn't hurt.  I think that's probably the unstated message of that video.

*Bob waits for the approaching storm.*

[Bob]

Yeah.  Haha.  You'll look.  Nobody will dare post now.  

Hm.      


I see three possibilities.
1) Some raging.
2) No response.  But this is merely a delayed reaction.  Violent retribution later.
3) A polite, formal (quiet seething) response disguising the results of #2.


This would be the time after you poke a bee's nest where the bees haven't yet appeared but you know they're in there.

[Bob]

Shoot...


*Bob hastily tries to glue the thread back together.*


Maybe no one will notice.  





We'll just put this side of the thread toward the wall....

[j_menz]

I see three possibilities.

You need to look harder. You forgot something..



(Which after  10 years should have been your first guess)

[Bob]

*Bob does not understand, but since j_menz posted now, Bob is trying to come up with a way to pin all the blame on him.*  Assuming j_menz is a guy.  I've been on off on genders of members around here lately.

I'm not following the pointless picture though.  I looked it up.  Nothing. 

[j_menz]

*Bob does not understand,

You listed three possible classes of response, you forgot this quite common one.

but since j_menz posted now, Bob is trying to come up with a way to pin all the blame on him.* 

Do and I'll sue!! 

Assuming j_menz is a guy. 

Your assumption is correct.

[Bob]

Pointless thread?  Or women dancing on the beach in high heels is pointless?  Or playing volley ball on the beach?

[j_menz]

Pointless thread? 

Pointless post in a thread.

Yeah.  Haha.  You'll look.  Nobody will dare post now.   

Hm.      


I see three possibilities.
1) Some raging.
2) No response.  But this is merely a delayed reaction.  Violent retribution later.
3) A polite, formal (quiet seething) response disguising the results of #2.

See.... a fourth possibility is a pointless post.

[Bob]

Pointless post in a thread.

See.... a fourth possibility is a pointless post.

 

Blasphemer!  Blasphemer!  How dare you!  How daaaaaare you sir.

I blame j_menz for all offenses in this thread! 




Whew.... *Bob is relieved.*  It's almost like we planned that.   I have immunity now, so I'm ok.  Blameless. 

[j_menz]

I blame j_menz for all offenses in this thread! 

[kakeithewolf]

I have no idea what the bloody hell is going on in this thread.

[j_menz]

I have no idea what the bloody hell is going on in this thread.

I have no idea what the bloody hell is going on in this thread.

Bob and Jmenz meant to go to The last post (no matter how pointless) wins -thread, but got lost on the way?

[ahinton]

I have no idea what the bloody hell is going on in this thread.

Perhaps you should ask m1469 about its intended purpose (not that any of what's gone on in it since she initiated it necessarily reflects that, of course)...

Best,

Alistair

[Bob]

I have no idea what the bloody hell is going on in this thread.

If you don't know, then you're part of the problem.  Shame on you.   Although I don't think the cowboy pic is posting now.

Haha.  Whew... Now I'm off the hook.

[ahinton]

"Sexism" almost sounds like some kind of profession, even though it's obviously not meant to do so. "Every day", though? Perish the thought!

Best,

Alistair

[thalbergmad]

"Sexism" almost sounds like some kind of profession

It is, and one that I have put considerable effort into over the years.

I hate working with women.

I was only following Bob.

Note to self: Don't do that again, it can't end well.

[j_menz]

I hate working with women.

Is "with women" necessary here?

[Bob]

This is the main problem with the documentary.







thinks....





... and realizes...

The rest of the documentary is kind of blurred out after that.  Yet the first part I probably won't forget.  "Stupid hippy jogger... hey-that's-a-lady!" followed by "Wait... was that?"  (Did you notice the dancing bear?)


6.8 million views on that video?  For the message of the video... or something else?  Looks like m1469 found a way around the Youtube filters too.  

[kakeithewolf]

I didn't bother watching the video, to be perfectly honest. My views are set in concrete, and the vast likelihood is that the video only would present those views with... quite a lack of aplomb.

[Bob]

Bob bump!     36 views to.... ?

Hm.  Looks like a Bob bump is a tenfold view increase.
