Japanese Toilet Training Video [Kinda NSFW, youtube] There are no words.

  • I liked how at the end the subtitle is just the translator giving up. The end is just along the same lines "I'm going to do a poo!" kind of thing.
  • I want one of those handles on my toilet. A bit larger perhaps
  • It may be NSFW to some people ... but I wish that we (at least in the US) didn't have to be so paranoid about possible offense. So what if we see a naked kid, or a boob? It's not that weird to see such things on Japanese TV. I think it's unhealthy to be uptight about these things. (And this comment isn't directed particularly at Vertex, I've just seen too many NSFW tags and I've gone off the deep end).
  • So, are the Japanese sitzpinklers on principle, like the Germans?
  • Kinda, he. Vertex did say Kinda NSFW. Are you by Martin Amis, incidentally?
  • I think it's unhealthy to be uptight about these things. We know. In our defense, the operative initial in NSFW is "W". Bewbs are for at home.
  • I can't believe a video for 3 year-olds just got a NSFW label. WTF!!! Or I guess I should say: Kinda WTF!!!
  • Maybe it's just me, but I think that a boss who gets a little testy when he finds his employees watching a 3-minuted animated video on pooping while they are supposed to be meeting the project deadline has a point. NSFW does not mean obscene, although it could. It means if you want to play it safe and keep your job for another day, maybe you ought to wait on clicking this link until after you clock out. /rant
  • Of course, non job-related surfing of any sort could be NSFW, regardless of the content. Just saying.
  • It means if you want to play it safe and keep your job for another day, maybe you ought to wait on clicking this link until after you clock out. Bullcrap. Then every single link on MoFi should have a fricking NSFW label. MoFi itself should have one, too. Most of the whole goddamn internet should have one, if not the whole damn thing. It's an identification mark to serve a function. That the mark was misnamed? Okay fine, it's misnomer. That's not a reason to try to assign a new function to the misnamed label. The identification mark, however misnamed it is, has a function. Using it for a different function is just misuse of misnamed function. Just like all misnomers, there's a reason to how it became known by that name. And just like all misnomers, you don't create a new function and then apply that misnomer to it, trying un-misname it. The misuse is much worse than the misnaming.
  • Sorry, this is my hot-button issue, for some strange reason.
  • Although I didn't watch the video, does this appear in there?
  • Whoa, Knickers, that was some rant! Not that I disagree, but my head is so stuffed-up that reading it comes out like that Gary Larson cartoon about what dogs hear: blah blah blah blah Rover blah blah blah misnamed?...misnomer....misnamed...misnamed...misuse... misnamed...misnomers...name....misnomers...misnomer...un-misname ...misuse...much worse...misnaming. Don't surf when you're supposed to be working, boys and girls.
  • MonkeyFilter: sitzpinklers on principle, like the Germans *tips cap to GramMa, grabs cookie, rushes out*
  • Pants feel comfortable.
  • What I MEANT to say was that [NSFW unless you have a boss that dosent mind you watching videos of animated poop] but that seemed kinda long, so I said Kinda NSFW. I might fire someone if I was a boss, catching them watching that video. Oo
  • I'm sorry for pooping on your thread Vertex.
  • mister. Knickerbocker's rant is extremely funny.
  • 2. Ahh, it's a commercial for the music box-TP roll-toilet handle thingie. 3. The cartoon tigers are extremely cute, even while pooping. Squee! 4. The Pants Man is the natural enemy of The Underpants Monster, 5. A video about urine and feces ISN'T inherently more likely to disturb/offend bosses and coworkers than a video of kittens falling asleep? WTF? Color me prude, I guess.
  • The Pants Man is the natural enemy of The Underpants Monster *Sends big, fruity umbrella drink to TUM's table - with compliments*
  • Oh no, The Underpants Monster will destroy us all! What will we...wait, over there! Coming out of the menswear section! Yes, it's Pants Man!!! *heroic music, sounds of women screaming*
  • I will never forget the last time I saw the Underpants Monster. She looked so....frail, so delicate. I was about to reach out and touch her, but then, and without warning, Pants Man closed his fly, and The Underpants Monster was never seen again.
  • Eeuw. Sister Renault also told me of some UK show about birthin' babies, where the woman had her brother as her birth coach. "The head's out! Also Eeuw.
  • > Sister Renault also told me of some UK show about birthin' babies, where the woman had her brother as her birth coach. That strikes me as a none-too-subtle hint.
