I've gotten a little flack for letting Andy's sig stand. Thankfully, no one in this thread has gotten worked up over it and your posts indicate you've taken the sig in the spirit in which it was intended.
I haven't deleted Andy's sig and I won't. It is a clip from a Japanese commerical. You can get more information about the commercial here: http://www.stinky.com/anabu/
With regard to what is acceptable and not acceptable on this discussion board, let me just remind everyone that this is a privately run discussion board. The finally arbiter of what is appropriate and not appropriate is me, Don. If you want more clarification on where I stand, you can read the rules I've posted here: http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b=News,m=1080786748
I'm more annoyed by the blatent self promotion of screenplays *Whore* oh I forgot to cough damn.
But really if fake suggested nuts offend people I don't know what will offend people next. Dogglebe said F*** unedited and I've said shit a lot but I don't see anybody saying anything about the unedited cursing that goes on.
You can turn off the sig's at least I thought we could if you so choose.

I'm more offended when words like shit and fuck and j**** are censored than when they're actually used. I especially hate it when the news media would say the 'N-word' as opposed to the actual word. This especially true if they're quoting someone else. If it's obvious what the word is, you should use the actual word. The meaning and the hatred are still there.
I myself would not say the N word or not actually put myself in a situation where I need to talk about it.
I like to swear but out of respect for younger members I sometimes will censor certain words but I wrote a series that has no shame in talking about women with male parts and just saying every word under the sun that offends people so I guess when I say something like "I'm against this" and I wrote a screenplay that says the opposite it really hurts my argument.
So yes it's kind of odd to censor words but as the older members of the board we should think about kids under 17 who may not be exposed to the same as us.
I didn't know what porn was until my teenage years began, now kids about 8 are all talking about it online and dressing like whores.
Andy don't let these morons dictate what you put in your sig. Don said it's ok. That's all that matters. These people complaining about it need to get a life.
Apparently they can't scroll right past your posts. Maybe there is some type of subconscious fascination with it?
Has anyone else read Alans modification reasons? They're on the first and second page and their pretty funny, for some you have to know latin... Anyway, I think the Tanuki thing shoukd not be put into scripts until : FEB. 14, 2007, when it will be funny again. As of now, the Tanuki shall make no more appearances in screenplays, let andy's sig be the freindly reminder of our mythological asian freind. After reading like three westerns with tanukis and 2 simply script scripts with it, the Tanuki is officially: Old. Yes, old, please dont ruin a good thing.
This of course, is just my WACKY opinion! Wooo! anyway, carry on with your wacky, or completely average day.
Don, your link contained the word "and" and it messes the link up.
I didnt actually read the latin (thats one final I did not do so hot on) and all I got out of the "et tu brute" was "and you ____" so if it's not funny, then sorry...
Oh, and although the commercial was..odd..and, um, insightful (?) I actually found the song to be very catchy!
