I thought it was mildly amusing........ what made me laugh was the person who sent the link to us.......... a lady at the golf club....... I won't give her age, let's just say she has been retired for a number of years.

Quite right Det, I agree.

I didn't actually find it funny - just not my type of humour - but it was my choice to look. My mind did boggle at what they could have been doing when they discovered they could do it though :-0 :-0 :-S :-S

Island - even if they came to the same (possibly erroneous) conclusion as me, unlike some links, this one gave gave the viewer the choice to 'play'.

You chose to watch - I chose not to. We both had that freedom and as adults can make our own decisions. It's not the Reporter's right or duty to remove our freedom of choice.

The singing wasn't very good.

There was nothing offensive to see Det which makes RR'ing it even more ridiculous. Unless of course, the RR'r jumped the gun.

I did follow the re-posted link to the video (if it is the same one as earlier today).
Saw several males in dressing gowns, hazarded a guess at what would have happened and closed the page.

The point is, *I* had the choice to view or not to view. Why should anyone take that away from me?

Not everybody is up and about at 6.37. In fact, if you post before 9am, there are very few who reply before 11am. Most threads seem to swing along in evenings. So whoever did that one either could not sleep or lives in a very different time zone.

Personally, I thought the video was not suitable for these boards, and not at all funny. I think some posters are pushing their luck and showing little concern for the wider audience on Genes chat. No, I was not up till about 8.30am.

The same video has been put on here twice by different people under different titles and ONE of them has been RR'd.

Either the RR merchant is prejudiced or not paying proper attention.
