entertainment or offense?
The video that sparked my interest most was the Landlord clip. It was the first video we watched and my freewrite was pretty long. I believe that good information should not be censored. If a means of information is needed by anyone, it should be available to the public. If you don't want children seeing these kinds of things, they make things called "parental control" that prohibits them from seeing it. As for humor in this video i thought it was fine. It made me laugh and wasn't too obscene. I don't swear a lot and i certainly don't find the video offensive. It didn't make me uncomfortable either. When it comes down to it, it's purely about entertainment. A lot of people would enjoy it so why not be able to make people laugh. The baby was cute too, she wasn't in a "bad influence" kind of situation because she doesn't even know what she's saying so it doesn't really affect her.

If you look at the picture as a whole, should people have to go through the process of having to put parental controls on the computer, or should the other people think more about who can see their videos before they post them?
As far as the child goes, if she doesn't know that what she's saying is wrong, what makes you think that she won't continue to use offensive words like that in the future?
These are just different ways to look at things. :)
I think I might have to disagree with you and agree with Nikki on her second way of looking at it. Even though this girl was young and all she did was repeat her mother, I think that she can continue within this 'bad influence.'
