What's the rule around here for posting youtube videos? Thanks in advance.

1. I don't believe there is a rule...

if you see a clip that you want to share...post it...it's the lounge just about anything goes

4. Heh!

Well, I wanted to embed the video in the post but I couldn't parse the "html lookup table" to get it to work. Which is why it exists, I suppose. Damn you, DU code security! :-)

I put it in the General Discussion-Politics board.

5. You can't embed it, you have to link to it.

6. Thank goodness n/t

10. Why do you say that?

Embedding would be much less of a hassle for the viewer. (Though I suppose with one of our YouTube Threads it could make page load times a little slow.)

12. Because I don't come here to see videos plastered all over the place and

foisted upon me, even if I have to choose to hit the play button. Links I can accept, embedded would piss me off to no end.

2. The rule is... No Hasselhoff singing in German clips.

3. An unspoken rule seems to be that you must post the link without any

indication whatsoever of the content of the video.

7. Only videos obtained by the YouTube search string "Japanese Bikini Idol"

are allowed.

All others will be deleted by the mods with no explanation.

If you complain about this policy, you will be banned.

11. ...

I looked, I didn't play any of them but I looked. Would you characterize yourself as being "bullish" on them?

[swag]

13. That's not the word I'd use, but I'm flattered that you remembered

to associate that word with me.

8. They can't be about cats

9. the rule is: do it as often as possible and with abandon!!
