We are constantly bombarded with messages about being more tolerant and not predjudicial. We are supposed to be politically correct in what we voice, and hopefully far more compassionate than that in what we think and do. The video in itself was in poor taste but the website it was displayed on had other display items that were inappropriate and that's probably where the 'block' outs were originating from.
Many people on this list are employees, not contractors, and therefore are on company equipment on company network and in some cases, maybe more than we care to think, being viewed by the company. Just because we use another email address in an effort to ease the burden of the company email server, doesn't mean we can do whatever we want. We are all being paid to work, and sometimes that does include taking a few moments for harmless humor on Fridays.
Before you post humor you might want to run it through a simple test ... is this something I'd like my grandma to read ... or my 12 year son or daughter ... would they be proud. I know that not all Friday humor has qualified and I've enjoyed most of it and had a few laughs ...and wouldn't show it to grandma or kids. But if someone says they're offended, then you should be apologizing before anyone ASKS you to do it.
So I guess this would qualify as Tuesday editorializing or sermonizing.
Are we going to need a Friday humor session at RUG?

Is this inappropriate for the forum: probably yes (but no more so than
the Friday humor).
Where is the humor: Did you actually LOOK at the map? Come on now...
that's funny!
