It's a shame that any censoring is going on.  Mr. Critic, with all due respect, you said "I never read through them; the title jumps out at me and I have to complain."  Wow, censoring without even reading them.  And, you don't have any parodies of your own, yet you have the audacity to want them censored or banned?  You sir are truly unbelievable.  Seriously, why even come to this site? 

What ppl do in the loo is their own private business.

...was that intentionally funny, or a Freudian shi.. er slip?

Funny how you can't say SH** here now,  but Apricot just wrote "crapload". ???


Well, people consider "crap" a mild swear. On the lines of "heck" "darn" "freaking", etc. Personally, I think it's all the same, we know what your intent is, self-censored or not.. I just had respect for the language policy {and knew I couldn't cheat the filter without getting into trouble} is all.

No, really, it works.  I tried it.  If I don't read them, they don't bother me. 

Jeff - LOL!  and SO TRUE  :o

But why not, Stu?  ???

OK, one final remark (I see a lot of people going "Yeah...Right" right about now)...this all seems to be much ado about poo...  ::)

Seriously, the minute every piece of work has to pass the scrutiny of anyone who might find it objectionable is the minute this site comes to a grinding halt...and takes all the hard-working, creative and funny writers along with it...because you cannot do your best writing when you have to censor your own thoughts in advance to fit someone else's mindset as to what is or isn't "acceptable".  I've TRIED it and it just blocks the creative flow...so I'll put the "unthinkable" in...and then try and clean it up after I've finished the piece...usually I can...if I can't then I have to decide if the overall work is worthy of posting or not.   Of course AFTER you have written something it's generally a good idea to actually READ it back to yourself and see if it's something you really want to put your name next to where other folks can read it.  But you know what?  I really don't want a "Mr. Critic" to decide whether my work should see the light of day or not...now if ChuckyG posts rules that indicate that something is not allowable then I have to deal with that and accept it...he's managing the site and so he's entitled to set guidelines...Anyway, back to the originator of this thread, Mr. Critic - what are your favorite topics ?  What if someone decided that NOBODY should be able to write or read such things (No, "Poo" is not my favorite topic...but I have written a number dealing with it...)?  Yes, there have been a fair number of rather un-funny, juvenile "poop" postings...just like any other topic.  Hey, some of the posting authors on the site actually ARE juveniles...and the rest of us just act that way some or all of the time.  But excretory functions are not in and of themselves obscene...they can be if you do something "weird" with the resulting "mess"...but we won't go there now...

Sorry to go on so long, but I found some of the comments favoring censorship totally mind-boggling...one of the things that parodies are ABOUT is stretching and using our Freedom of Speech...whether we do it wisely and well or as poor as poop...

Thanks for the soapbox space...

I KNOW THAT! But it shouldn't be shared publicly. What ppl do in the loo is their own private business. DO I make myself clear?



But relationships are private, and religion is private, and people can write parodies about that.  People choose to make their personal things private because it is their chosen form of expression, and because they are trying to reach out and connect to their fellow human beings by sharing intimate parts of their human experience.  Don't you share personal things with people to make a human connection?  Do you have any friends?  Don't you talk about personal things with them?  Or do you only sit around and talk about the weather?  Do you have any experience sharing a part of yourself with another human being?  Or are you just a cold, detached isolated parody critic?



With regards to paroides about sex, Chuckie isn't allowing them anymore.



Yes, they have been pooh-poohed, but that is Chuckie's choice.  He did not choose to ban poop.  If you are insisting that poop is wrong, you are disrespecting his authority as the owner of the site, and that is not appropriate.



Also, I do not have any parodies of my own. Think about that before you go spouting off.



But I know for a fact that you do.  I know that you are Poopie Longpoopie or whatever your name is, and you are just posting these messages for publicity.  No normal person in their write mind would keep going on in this silly manner about parodies they claim they don't want to read anyway.  Oviously, you want to attract attention to your parodies.  You are quite transparent.  You with your guest posting.  Silly person.  And yes, I am a guest too, but you do not see me trying to censor parodies and make trouble, do you?  DO YOU?



Say, who are you anyways? ::)



In case you can't tell (????), my name is Guiness, but you can call me Guy.

Well, Mr. Critic, Poopie, whatever.. I have to agree with the general consensus on this one. I don't beleiving in censoring my art. Bodily functions are normal and yes, sometimes amusing part of life. I must admit quite a few of my parodies are poo-related (I cant beleive I said that) but there's a childish charm to this kind of humour. For some people, if it's not their cup of tea, then just don't read them. If we censor toilet humor, what's next? Drinking? Drugs? Religion? Poking fun at celebrities or politicians? Christ, there'd be barely nothing left to satire! Power to the poo! Hoooowdy-Ho!

But I know for a fact that you do.  I know that you are Poopie Longpoopie or whatever your name is, and you are just posting these messages for publicity.  No normal person in their write mind would keep going on in this silly manner about parodies they claim they don't want to read anyway.  Obviously, you want to attract attention to your parodies.  You are quite transparent.  You with your guest posting.  Silly person.  And yes, I am a guest too, but you do not see me trying to censor parodies and make trouble, do you?  DO YOU?



As Tommie LaSorda said on September 21, 1993 in a radio interview with Doug Krekorian: You have NO authority to make that statement!

I am not Pootie Longstalking...that person LIKES poop parodies; I don't. So how the (blank) do you know who I really am?

I just feel that people have been going way overboard with them, and it's time for them to stop. IMHO, that crap stopped being funny in preschool.

Yes, we get it.  But alas, they will continue.  So you can complain and encourage them or just not read them.  It's really quite simple.

Whatever. But just ignoring them will not make 'em go away or stop future ones from showing up. Just like decade errors in parody URL's.

I don't read most of the paroides; sometimes I'll skim through them but I won't read through them. Often times I DKTOS.

Whatever. But just ignoring them will not make 'em go away or stop future ones from showing up.

Well, they WILL NOT go away just because some people don't like them.  You can't allways get what you want.  So you can pay attention to them and get your knickers in a twist, or you can ignore them and be happy.  Your choice.

I must say that, being silly about it will encourage people who wouldn't otherwise even THINK of writing one to write one just to annoy you... 

not that MOI would EVER do such a thing....  :-*

I encourage everyone to write about whatever they want to write about.  I also encourage anyone to comment on whatever they want to comment about.  Censorship is never the answer.

What Senor Critic was trying to say is that if there's profanity in a parody, the profantiy is what should be censored. (Otherwise, it should go to WhatFreaks.) I mean, it's auto-censored on this site, so it should be likewise on amiwrite. (Any time someone types a swear word, it would be replaced by astericks or an appropriate euphemism.)

Wait...do we need a separate thread to discuss this?

Who's 'Senor Critic'?  Is that 'mr critic'?  Or some other guest?  If this 'Senor Critic' is the very same poop-offended reader, may I ask why you are referring to him as 'Senor'?  Is that just to be cute? 

And who is 'A. Guest'?  Are you distinct from 'The Guest' or simply 'Guest'?  Or are all of you 'guests' really just one person trying to bug the living sh*t crap poop out of us?

Why can't you people just register already?  >:(

One question at a time, please. I guess you could say I was trying to be cute; I s'pose I could have referred to him as "Monsieur" critic or something like that. ::)


And who is 'A. Guest'?  Are you distinct from 'The Guest' or simply 'Guest'?  Or are all of you 'guests' really just one person trying to bug the living sh*t crap poop out of us?

It's me, dang it. I guess you've never watched the 1950's game show "The Name's The Same", which can be seen on GSN at midnight (unless they're showing "Beat The Clock" or "To Tell The Truth" or one of those other b&w game shows). Anyway, on that show, contestants would come in one at a time, and their names would be the same as famous people, cartoon characters, or objects. The "object"-named people would have names such as "A. Maid" or "A. Mattress" or "A. Dork" or something of that nature. My pseudonym is a spoof of that.


Why can't you people just register already?  >:(

We can't register if we want to be guests, right? Who ever heard of someone registering as a "guest"? ::)

He's being cute. I find that offensive and would like it to stop.

And you're all being somewhat logical in your arguments sometimes. As someone who's somewhat logical sometimes, I find your portrayal of being somewhat logical sometimes to be very offensive and would like those portrayals to stop.

With all due respect to everyone's lame attempts at frivolity, it is incumbent upon me to remind you all that the actual purpose of this thread is to provide a forum for thoughtful, reasoned debate on the legitimacy or illegitimacy of poopie parodies.  Any attempts at distracting us from this sober purpose is unconscionable and will not be tolerated.

I like asterisks better.. see, if you had a line where "sh*t was the word that rhymed, replacing it with "crap" would affect the quality. However, "s***" could work... but I really don't care. You know full well what "s***" really is.. there's nothing less offensive about three stars then "hit".

Either way, I don't think AmIRight should be filtered.. but then, it's not my site. So, it's up to Chucky. And since he didn't filter AmIRight by now, so it will stay, I suppose.

Idiot.

because Guernica was painted to represent a passionately-felt stance
Poo parodies are penned to get a rise out of people
one's heartfelt - the other is just high-school-style stirring

Idiot.

Great, now we have a "poomaster" making a bombardment of toilet themed parodies? Come on, I'd say maybe one or two a week isn't so bad...but this many? Gimme a break. ::) Is this "Poomaster" related to The Cacca Man and/or Poopie Longstocking?

Who cares?  At least, if a parody is obviously by someone with a themed alias (I am assuming it's not their real name), then that means you can easily choose not to read that parody.

I agree with STG,

A small amount of 'bathroom humour' is acceptable in my eyes, but when the same author repeats the same stuff over and over again it does become far to much and shows a serious lack of intelligence or thought. While his parodies technically meet ChuckyG's rules, I still feel they shouldnt' be allowed on the site due to their sick content.
