Captain Planet - An exericise in the falicy of Website Rules

Another thing is, what was the point in even posting that video? It is not news worthy in the slightest. It had nothing to do with comic book superheros, nothing to do with any news about upcoming comic book movies. Its not only a contradiction, but its completely irrelevant to the intent of this site.

*cracks knuckles* I got this one.

-Don Cheadle was in Iron Man 2.

-A Live-Action Direct-To-TV Captain Planet movie is being made for Cartoon Network

-Captain Planet is a superhero. Not a traditional superhero, but a superhero nonetheless.

I actually think this is a more important question than the first one.

Reeeaallllyyy?


Really?

See the post below because I had the same points, and this dude's okay in my book (so far)

Lastly, can't the big guys have a -little- fun? Seriously, this is the first hint of 'I am having fun!' from the main page that I've seen in a long time.

Who else would you need to be protected from when you're saying what you want?

Not really because there are literally hundreds of superhero parodies that are posted each day. With and without celebrities who have one point been in a comic book related movie. This pretty much screams of advertising spot.

lol, good point. But still, is it really NEWS worthy? This video isn't about Cheadle's acting in Iron Man, nor is it about the Capt' Planet movie. IMO, there are countless other, more suitable items that don't get put on the front page.

I agree with this. Personally, I'd like to see more "I'm having fun! stuff", but my question still stands. What makes it ok for the FRONT PAGE, but not in the forums? I think its safe to say that more people of a wider demographic (ie: more kids) visit the front page than dedicated posters use the forums here.

I'm not complaining, nor am I upset at the inclusion of the video, and I certainly don't mean (or even remotely expect) there to be any kind of change, I just don't get the reasons.

It really does, because it's so.. random.

But at least it was funny. t: Report it! ....Unless it's funny.

What the video is doing there and how it got there is just as much a WTF to the moderator staff as it is to everyone else. We do see the irony of it being there when we dont allow that kind of language at the Hype. And yes, it is a funny video. Yes, we are working on it being deleted.

I'll see your Joker. And raise you Scarlett:

the video isn't all that funny to begin with, it actually makes a live action Captain Planet seem like a bad idea.

You needed this video to tell you that?

I had my doubts but that video emphasized the point ,lol.

I don't get the reasons either.

When I found out about this yesterday, I contacted Mirko about it and started a thread in the wash for us to discuss it with the intent to get it removed. I feel it sets a bad precedent and image for the site and the forums.

Who else would you need to be protected from when you're saying what you want?

An angry church, a big unruly mob, toughguys at the bar, etc.

 

[Spider-Nerd]

I need to see this captain planet video to actually see what all this nonsense is all about.

 

[Spider-Nerd]

Ahahaha the video was actually somewhat enjoyable but I'd say it certainly wasn't even that bad until the final 2 obscenities were uttered. The Kwame and Linka was pretty good

 

[Darthphere]

I'm more offended by the fact most people think it's funny.

Honestly, you have every right to be.

I'm offended that the mods agree with us. What the hell is this?

Those don't count because they have no power.
