lol these videos just make me feel bad.. like a bad trip or something lol.. cool vids!

 
Dear Mr. Precarious:

I watched your cinematic grotesqueries with some distaste and wondered why, with their perversion of the Divine form and their use of filthy language like the "poo" word, they were allowed to remain on a wholesome family forum like this. The adjudicators must be asleep at the wheel again, I am afraid.

I was more interested, though, in the Cars and Bears film, the only one, so far as I could see that was a straight documentary that had not been tampered with. At first I was amused by the little bears and was glad to see that those that swatted the birds got their comeuppance. I also thought that the changing colors and shapes of the cars was a wry comment on our car industry"s overemphasis on cosmetic changes, but I cannot condone the fact that none of the little fellows made any attempted to rescue their injured and obviously paraplegic friend just before the stretch limo went by, and were they really molesting and eating people?

However, i am not one to rush to judgement, and although it is past my bedtime, I shall take a couple more shots and watch it a few more times.

I remain, sir,

Your most humble and obedient servant, etc,

The Yuma Guy

Dear Phil,

Thank you for your concern in upholding the integrity of this fine forum. However, I would direct you to the filmmaker's own explanation of the symbolism behind his film "Poo Pants":

this film is at its heart an exploration of both personal and cultural themes, exposing our exploitative relationship with our environment on a personal level and, by extension, as a society or species. The poo in this sense is a symbol of the by-products of our capitalist consumerism, with alan titchmarsh reflecting the role of the media; alerting us, ridiculing us, perhaps even judging us - the media becomes a collective conscience that binds us to our own environmental mortality. The refrain of titchmarsh is answered by our inability as a global society to take a truly global responsibilty; as we continue to poo at paul's we are nevertheless reminded that the poo is in fact very much situated in our own pants.

As you can see, this is high-brow social commentary merely smeared and/or lathered in poo to lure those of low breeding toward self-examination in the hopes of alleviating their tendencies of over consumption. Again, I appreciate your concern but let us allow this subtle educational material to work its intended effect on those less cultures among us.

And now, this public service announcement:

 
"don't pick your nose" :lol: My kid actually likes this one. Unfortunately, she hasn't stopped picking.

I haven't found the videos to be all that bad, but I let my kid watch things that others don't really agree are O.K. for children.

Things like that just give me more opportunities to guide her, as I don't want to procrastinate teaching her about the good, bad, and ugly.

 
The ugly truth is the most beautiful teacher. ;)
Definitely, I use every ugly or beautiful experience as an opportunity for guidance. I don't want my kid to end up being too easily shocked or offended by things that "just happen", also I take every opportunity to help her notice the beauty that is in many ugly things and experiences. This is not exactly about the videos, but things like that have their place in life whether some people like it or not.

Oh. Well I guess that if it's O.K. with Allan Titchmarsh, it's O.K. with me. Long may his wisterias flourish! :p :lol: :D
